Dan Klossner, e-mail, 17.06.2012 01:57 ATTN : Geoffrey Foote,if you still have the Manuals & Drawings of the Aircranes i would be extremely interested. Maybe you know someone else who also has drawings or manuals of the Skycrane ? I am planning on building a Flyable Scale Aircrane. This has been my dream for over 20 years,
Regards Dan

James P. Hootman, e-mail, 03.02.2012 21:39 I was with the 343rd aviation detachment in Fairbanks Alaska in 1978/1979 Fort Wainwright.We had four CH54's one with a plaque on the cabin door attesting to the altitude record although I can't remember the exact spec's I do remember the last three tail numbers were 488. when I got there she was a hanger queen and had been cannibalized. If any of my old buddy's ever read this this please drop me a line to catch up on old times! p.s she flew again before I shipped out to Monterey California if my memory is right.

Jim Church, e-mail, 21.04.2011 22:59 My dad flew cranes in Vietnam Jun 68 - Jun 69. He was at Plieku, Camrahn bay, and Phuhep (sorry about the spelling). He flew the world altitude records in Nov of 71. He is still alive and kicking!

mike meyer, e-mail, 27.09.2010 05:15 In 1971 I was a Huey doorgunner for the 56th Recovery ADS at Long Thanh North. In the Spring we recoverd a crashed CH 54 at a Firebase near Bear Cat. I understand it had a blade strike on making a lift.
I believe the last three on the tail number was 444.
Anyone out there remember this?

This would be a big help for a 3D model im trying to make.

Bartek Piekos, e-mail, 29.08.2008 02:55 I'm modeller from Poland. I'm just building a miniature of CH-54 A Skycrane from plastic kit by Revell (1/72 scale). I’ve decided to up-grade model by adding lot of self-made details making the model as realistic as possible. But there is one problem: except 50-60 photos from different web-sites I've unsufficient documentation on many parts of this beautifull machine like cockpit/interior, top of fuselage with engines and this huge amount of electric and air instalation on the top. I'm also not sure what paint to chose to imitate this olive-green original colour that many CH-54 were painted. Is this FS34079?
If anybody could help me with some technical documentation (I've no dimensions given now, only physical proportion deducted from photos), scans of books, albums or photos (of interior i.e.) it would be really great!
Thank you!

Eric Beavers, e-mail, 06.07.2008 17:42 Looking for a source for tech data for the A and B model aircraft. ARMY TM's probably. AMARC perhaps?

Geoffrey Foote, e-mail, 30.03.2008 01:35 If Jim Phoreman is still looking for information on the cable cutting system on the early "Flying Cranes" I have all of my old Sikorsky School Training Manuals and cutaway drawings from 1965. I was in the original Army Group trained to maintain the first Cranes for the 11th Air Assault Division and then the 1st Cavalry Division (Air Mobile).

Jim Phoreman, e-mail, 01.11.2007 20:08 The inforomation presented here is fascinating, and makes me proud to be a former officer of the US Army. Does anybody have any information or stories regarding the cable 'cut-away' system used on any of the Sky Crane or Air Crane models? I know that cable cutters were used that we cabaple of cutting 7/8" steel cable, presumably as an emergency measure to release the helicopter from an entangled or problematic payload. Does anybody know if these cutters were also used to drop the 'daisy-cutter' that is referred to in this segment? It turns out that I have an application for the cable-cutters that were used on the CH-54B, but I cannot seem to find enough test data/ pedigree info to convince the powers that be. Can anyone help here? Thank you!

alvin kilpatrick, e-mail, 23.04.2007 06:22 I just am tired of hearing about how great the ch53 sea stallion is the ch54 tarhe was designed with one purpose to lift heavy objects it is hard for me to believe that the 53 can lift more weight could you please list max pay load weights on both aircraft please.
