It entered service with the U.S. Air Force in the late 1960s. It was designed to carry out CSAR “Search and Rescue” missions in combat zones with high operational effectiveness. Compared to the previous version, it was equipped with an aerial refueling probe, additional fuel tanks, reinforced armor, and the option to mount extra defensive armament. Particular attention was given to improving the radio systems, which had to coordinate operational activities with other supporting aircraft—such as tankers or attack and support helicopters—needed to safely locate downed or missing pilots. Robust, reliable, and featuring long flight endurance, it was widely used during the Vietnam War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eType Transport and observation helicopters\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeriod From '60\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSKILL 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel Dim. 28.4 cm (11.18\")\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; margin: 0 0 1em 0; line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #212b36; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eBe sure to check out our aircraft accessories, metal barrels, and seat belts!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block; margin: 0 0 1em 0; line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eWe are not responsible for any taxes, duty, VAT, customs or other fees on the receiver’s end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck out our other items, and save on shipping!
