| Description |
The Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King helicopter of helicopter anti-submarine squadron HS-4 hovers over the command module Charlie Brown of Apollo 10 on 29 May 1969 (location 15°2'S 164°39'W). HS-4 was deployed on the USS Princeton (LPH-5). From late 1968 through the spring of 1970, the Black Knights of HS-4 participated in and pioneered techniques for the Apollo capsule recoveries. HS-4 was on scene for Apollo missions 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The helicopter's flight number was changed from "66" to "740", as after the Apollo 11 recovery the U.S. Navy had switched to a three number squadron designator - but the helicopter was repainted with the number "66" for each recovery thereafter for public relations reasons. The Sea King BuNo. 152711 could not be preserved, as it crashed on 4 June 1975 on a training flight out Imperial Beach (California, USA). Although the crew was rescued the pilot died later of his injuries. The wreck sank to a depth of ca. 700 m. NASA ID: GPN-2000-001143 |
