mp-willow Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 R22 is that as S-55 or S58 I ask about the water ops to be able to land on water that may not have the beach available. If that is the case can normal skids be in the water for any length of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case can normal skids be in the water for any length of time? S-55 in the picture, skids can be in the water indefinitely.

ISE DA BY Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 R22: This has got to be a picture from the Polar Continental Shelf or the Mid-Canada Line?? With that antenna and supply of drums, it was way north!!!! Right or wrong? Don :shock: Fox E is located on Durban Island about 250 miles NE of Iqaluit.

R22Captain Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ise Da By would be correct. For the record it's not my pic....jeez I wasn't even born when that was taken. It's off of a Dew Line historical page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 For those interested, a Sikorsky 58T looks like this. (one of my favorite aircraft). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlandsalot Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 58 T, does that mean it was coverted to a turbine from a 58? What is it you like so much of that AC? I saw it in Squamish BC once moving hydro poles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Yes the 58T is a converted S58 piston to the P&W PT6 twin Pac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp-willow Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Jay Flight> Thanks for that pic. Is it an older MD-500? That is just the setting I would love to be in now, instead of waiting for this next snow storm. The S058T, is nice, interesting lines, and you can do a lot with it, but her upkeep must be more. I do like the older birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_ Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 H56...that 58T is a gorgeous looking rig...is Tundra using that for pulling timber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
