I wonder how what the chances are of getting the best of the three the association rejected over to the Helicopter Museum…anyone got contact details?

Oddly, while the group has a website, they don’t have an email address.
Here’s the only contact info I could find:

Coast Guard Aviation Association
PO Box 940
Troy, VA 22974-0940

BTW: Did you get the PM I sent you about the H-21 andVH-34 that are surplus to the Travis ASFB museum.
If not adopted by another accredited museum, they’ll be placed on the open market where they might end up with scrappers.

I’d expect most of the HH-52s have exciting rescue stories to tell. They were in service for a very long time, almost 30 years.
I’m happy so many of the 99 have been saved but many weren’t.

That’s a pretty amazing rescue story, and great to hear that NASM are preserving such a significant machine. Thanks!
