EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Hughes TH-55A Osage helicopter, identified by its military serial number 66-18350 (MSN 86-0642), is seen parked at Tucson International Airport in Arizona. This helicopter, a military variant of the Hughes Model 269A, was produced by the Hughes Aircraft Company in the mid-1960s for the United States Army. The TH-55A Osage was a twin-engine, single-rotor helicopter designed for advanced helicopter pilot training. Its versatile design made it suitable for various missions, including cargo transport, medical evacuation, and even combat support. With a maximum speed of 135 mph and a range of over 400 miles, the TH-55A was a formidable aircraft for its time. This particular helicopter was delivered to the United States Army in 1966 and saw active service until it was retired and transferred to the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona, where it now resides in storage. The museum, which is home to an impressive collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft, is a popular tourist destination and a testament to the rich history of aviation and space exploration in the United States. The Hughes TH-55A Osage was an important part of the United States military's aviation fleet for many years, and this photograph captures a moment in time when this versatile and capable helicopter was still in active service. Today, it serves as a reminder of the crucial role that helicopters play in military operations and the advancements in aeronautical transportation technology that have shaped the course of history.
