From AW 1971 94, an internal arrangement drawing, although the cabin isn't readily
recognisable here, contrary to the drawing in post #18:

Judging the linked page, it was a demonstration tour during in Megara/Greece in 1971 to 72, using the S-67
N671SA, that later crashed in September 1974 in Farnborough.

Let me know if you need anything from the linked page translated from Greek to English. I'll be happy to help.

Picture shows the one and only Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk rolling into a split-S turn in 1974, shortly after repainting in a camouflage finish. The world speed record for helicopters in its class is still credited to the S-67 [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/size]http://crimso.msk.ru/Site/Crafts/Craft21815.htm[size=medium][/font]

Still the most beautiful helicopter, ever.

Had never seen that one, Thanks!

 

[mil]

Tell me in what magazine published this image, in this photo quality is bad, I want a good quality of this photo, who can lay out?

 

[Jemiba]

Judging the layout and (as far as I can regognise) the type of font, it looks like AviationWeek to me.
I scanned some pictures/drawings from 1971 and 1974 issues, but unfortunately not the complete
articles.

Wonderful pics, mil, thanks! The Blackhawk was just amazing from any angle!

Wonderful pics, mil, thanks! The Blackhawk was just amazing from any angle!

It certainly would have shaken up the last decades of the Cold War if it had been adopted!

 

[jsport]

Thank you mil for the pics. helps keep the faith

 

[Hot Breath]

I've always felt that the Blackhawk was the West's equivalent of the Mi-24 Hind.

Wow! Great pictures. They were taken at Cairns Army Airfield which is the main airfield at the Army Aviation Center, Fort Rucker, AL. At least the color pictures with the external fuel tanks.

 

[Stargazer]

Thanks for sharing these magnificent pics of what was arguably the most breathtaking helicopter ever!

Hi,


as I discovered before the Sikorsky DS-507 & DS-509,the S-67 was called DS-508;

on the car which stands next to the S-67 to determine which country took this picture

 

[shedofdread]

Looks like a Ford Transit (Mk1). Hope that helps in some way...

 

[Stargazer]

I'm not anywhere near a car buff as I'm a plane buff... Still this car's design screams "British"!!!

 

[robunos]

It _IS_ a Ford Transit, so we are in Britain, either at Farnborough, or the Woodbridge community day, see :-
