Sikorsky JH-19D Chickasaw Helicopter

This Sikorsky JH-19 Chickasaw was used for several purposes, including dropping research models. The Sikorsky helicopter is seen here in the middle of its NASA career, with a model of the Apollo spacecraft attached to the drop mount near the cargo door. The H-19 was later sent to the Navy's Cheatham Annex in Yorktown, Virginia, for salvage.
