As The Rotors Turn with Erickson Air-Crane II [2012 EDITION]

A full array of film and pictures from sea snorkeling in Greece, loading the aircraft to Australia, and a power line job in Arkansas. The S-64 Air-Crane lives on being its 50th year in 2012 since its first flight on May 9th, 1962.

The Sikorsky Skycrane was used by the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. It served with the 1st Cavalry Division. While there they retrieved some 380 downed aircraft.

The last Sikorsky Skycrane helicopters were retired from military duty in 1993 by the 113th Aviation Unit of the U.S. Army National Guard based in Reno, NV.

Today the Sikorsky Skycrane is in civilian use as a water bomber, heavy lift industrial aircraft, and by lumber haulers. Erickson Air-Crane is now the manufacturer and primary operator of the helicopters.
