| Wayne Schober, adjusterpilot(@)gmail.com, 01.03.2009 In 1993 the Alaska State Troopers acquired 3 UH-12's from govt. surplus. They were added to a fixed-wing fleet that ranged from 3 Grumman Goose, to about 20 Super Cubs and many Cessna bush planes. The state shop overhauled the Hillers and equipped them with NightSun lights. The crew consisted of a State pilot, an Anchorage PD observer and a State Trooper observer.We flew the Hillers in a program similar to LAPD. Anchorage has about 1/2 the state's population. Lots of SAR's, backup for APD and AST ground units, and several arrests for traffic and criminal offenses by hailing the driver to the side of the road and landing to make the apprehension. The limitations were fuel range, top speed of about 90 KT. We loved the sturdy little ships but a medevac requirement arose and we traded them on 2 JetRangers after 3 years. | | Pat Pockrus, hiller(@)mesh.net, 15.11.2008 I currently own this aircraft. I bought it from the Hiller factory in a 4 place configuration. It had been stripped of all running gear and was only a cabin and tailboom with glass and seating installed. No landing gear, instruments, etc. It is now flying as an E/4 and is painted as shown in the photo above. | | Leo Smith, Lesmith19(@)sprintpcs.com, 31.12.2007 December 31, 2007.
