TRIVIA QUESTIONS (#4)
The correct answers to last weeks questions are:
1. The first combat helicopter rescue occurred in March 1944. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Carter Harman piloted an R-4 in Burma to rescue four men from behind enemy lines.
2. 1937 First successful helicopter flight. Hanna Reitsch, a German pilot, flew Dr. Heinrich Focke's FW-61 in free, fully controlled flight at Bremen (July 4). Ms. Reitsch was also the first woman civil and military aviation test pilot.
Two "ROTORHEADS" answered the questions. Jim Burns, & Ron Smitham. Ron had one correct however Jim had both answers correct. Thanks guys.
This week’s questions are:
1. Who designed the first practical helicopter and when?
2. HH-3E 65-12784, currently on display at Hurlburt, was involved in what unusual situation and when?

#1 Igor sikorski
#2-- My guess. Had to be involved in the POW rescue At son bay[msp]
1. Igor Sikorsky is generally credited with this, first flown on 14 September 1939.
2. HH-3E 65-12784 had an in-flight emergency and made a water landing. She floated for 16 hours and was eventually recovered by a CH-54 on 15 January 1967. It’s also interesting to note that she was one of the first two HH-3’s (along with 65-12783) in South Vietnam, moving from Udorn, Thailand to Danang, RVN on 18 July 1966.
