While hunting in Alaska 17 years back we stumbled across one in pretty good shape in a deep gully. There was some frontal airframe damage and the engine was laying in front 20 feet from it. Area's it's in is about 70-80 miles NNE of Fairbanks. FAA, Air Force at Eielson or Army at Wainwright may have a Lat/Long on it as I don't think I could find it again. Lots of this kinda stuff up there!

Gomenasai,

What we found was a S-52/H)5S-1.

A thousand pardons!

Joe

Most likely gone now but in 1966 a complete HR2S was in a vacant lot beside a service station. Highway 51N Millington Tennessee. SF

Expect that one at Millington Tn was the old training Aid we had at NATTC Memphis schools back in the 50 ies. Shoud be in reasonable condition. SF PM

Allied Aircraft Sales, East Drexel Road, Tucson, AZ

Sitting behind the Specialized Aircraft Maintenance yard is the Allied Aircraft storage yard. The entrance it to the rear of SAM's premises and this offers the only reasonable view you will easily get from ground level, 95% of the aircraft in this yard are not visible from outside. Of course, like all the other yards in the area, the best way of seeing them is from the air and careful thought should be given to incorporate an over flight of Allied with any taken over AMARC. Recent pictures can be found on the Aerial Gallery pages to give you a much better understanding of Allied's layout.

The 43 H-37's (30 CH-37B and 13 CH-37C) in storage at Allied have been here for over 25 years and are in an extremely poor state. They are described as 'scrap metal' by a local business man, although most look quite complete from a distance. The future of these aircraft does not look too bright although they could live on as museum or display pieces. It has been reported that one of the CH-37's has been earmarked for a museum in the UK but the cost and logistics for its delivery are proving difficult. Click here to see pictures of the Allied H-37's.

A few years ago this yard was home to the majority of the H-34's that existed in the area. Although most of these have left there are a sizeable number still resident sitting in several tight lines at the rear of the premises. They are not visible from outside. Located next to these H-34's are a number of H-19 Chickasaw, all of these helicopters are also in very poor condition.

At the end of 2001 or beginning of 2002 a number of aircraft belonging to SAM were moved from this yard across to the other side of East Drexel to a small compound adjoining the UAC yard.

For the purposes of this web site it is referred to as SAM 'Compound B'. This compound is believed to be run by Chuck Wooten's and so the aircraft contained within it are listed under SAM.

An aerial view of this new yard can be seen on the right. The three wingless Nomads, which are not listed on this site are N421NE, N4812C and N4817E.

One of the more interesting types at Allied is the Lockheed EC-121 53-0535. This aircraft is now sitting on its tail due to its engines being removed, it is also missing its right-hand wing tip. The front portion of it can be seen clearly from East Drexel Road, the rest of it being hidden by an automobile scrapyard that is situated between Allied and the road.

A large number of HU-16 Albatross are currently stored in this yard. Several were being restored in the Specialized Aircraft Maintenance yard in July 2001, there was also one on long term restoration at Western International at the same time. It seems as though there are a popular type for private ownership so the future looks brighter for these than the other types in the area.

You should contact Peter Wright, Phone 610-527-8829 or Fax 610-527-5295. I believe he actually owns the CH-37's.

Heard a story that the Tennessee Valley Authority had a couple Hr2s in the 70s dont know if its true or not...

HR2S-1

There is a CH-37 in the Museum at old Forbes AFB in Topeka, Kansas. I've been told by reliable sources that the Museum is hanging on, barely and might be open to negotiations.
Bruce Colbert

Be advised, there is no CH-37 at the Combat Air Museum at Forbes Field, Topeka, KS. There is however, CH-53A BuNo 152399 (formally HMH-461, HMH-361, NASA, FAA, NADC) on static display.

Shakey,
Go to www.keystonehelicopter.com get the contact information and ask for a way to contact Peter Wright he was the owner prior to the takeover. His sons Peter Jr and Tim are still there. The old man (a flying tiger prior to WWII) bought quite a few H-37 to use for logging. As far as I know he still owns them and they are sitting in a desert in AZ. Good Luck!

You should be able to contact Peter Wright Sr. at the American Helicopter Museum at Brandywine Airport (610) 436-9600 www.helicoptermuseum.org Good Luck! He had a lock on CH-37 airframes in storage in the Tucson desert.
