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....

BTW.. I'm not a freak or stalker... Just want to dive the helo and take a break from work..

Was at Gilboa today and Mike was hard at work cleaning it out. It is HUGE! It will be a bigger swim through than the Gulfstream. Can't wait to dive it.

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
