OK, being an old Viet Nam helicopter pilot, I MUST know what kind of helicopter it is that is being sunk.

Sikorsky H-37. The left and right nacelles have been removed. One is sitting near it, but I don't think the owner is going to put it on. Main rotor assembly is lying near by as well. It should make an interesting swim through....
 
Ah !!! An old Mojave . . .

All things must pass . . .

Well its in civilian paint so perhaps the civil designation would be more correct, but an old USAF habit to label things with military designators still persists. It is a pretty big beast! I'm interested in seeing how they get it into position. And I'm anxious to dive it.....
 
I was there with BladePhotog today, and Mike mentioned he is also moving the bus closer to the wall and possibly jocking the sailboat around, so I'd say only taking 3 hours to take care of business is being a bit optimistic.... however Tim Stahl's real job is crane operator and he's pretty good with this kind of stuff.

Also... FYI... there's a myspace page started for Gilboa
