CH-54 Tarhe Skycrane History:
The US army ordered S-64 and renamed them CH-54 Tarhe to fit in with the US classification system for helicopters, the first five were delivered to the US Army 478th Aviation company part of the US 1st Cavalry in 1964 and served in Vietnam. Here they were put to various tasks including moving bulldozers and recovering downed aircraft, even at one point picking up 90 people including its three crew members. In the dense jungle conditions such a heavy lifter was invaluable and nearly 60 of the CH-54A’s were built to be followed by a further 37 CH-54B’s which had some structural strengthening and various other improvements including new landing gear. Sikorsky also built a few for civilian use; in military service the CH47D Chinook replaced it.
