Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe (N4037S)
Comments
Looks like a giant flying insect named Sikorsky
Where are the fuel tanks? It looks to me that they couldn't have much endurance unless the whole aircraft is one big fuel tank!
"Two fuel tanks in fuselage, forward and aft of transmission, each with capacity of 1,664 litres. Total standard fuel capacity 3,328 litres. Provision for auxiliary fuel tank of 1,664 litres capacity, raising total fuel capacity to 4,992 litres."

Originally CH-54 (ARMY), now S64E.
Perfect
So where does it land to pick up its engine? Big hole there.
I saw my first CH-54 in 1969 down at NAS Kingsville, TX where it was sent to retrieve a TF-9J Cougar that had crashed south of the base on the King Ranch. I was impressed when I saw it bring the plane back, drop it off at the squadron, and fly back to Fort Sill (or wherever it came from).
Per serial Number, early CH-54A, more than likely a Vietnam era aircraft. Siller has several of these.
Incrível!
yup a strange looking aircraft
Tarhe was a leader of the Wyandot people in the Ohio Country. His nickname was "The Crane". He fought American expansion into the region until the Northwestern Confederacy was defeated at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794.
Reminds me of the helos that came to U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Base, the day after the evacuation of Saigon (1975), and took the recovered F-5s out to the flight deck of the Enterprise.
