Photographer's remark

This old girl was used as a US Navy sub hunter among other tasks. They were considered by some to have little tolerance for ground fire so the type saw limited use in Vietnam by the US Army and Air Force. The Marines likes their machines and used them to great effect until they were replaced by the Huey. These SH-34 choppers were the last piston powered helicopter brought into service by the US military. Approximately 2,100 were built with some later being converted to turbine power and civilian use.
