Sounds like you were working on the 53A, Irish.
Sikorsky later added external tanks to the stub wings for the 53D or delta. In the 1980s, the 53E entered the fleet. It had 3 engines. 53E pilots called the previous versions of the 53, "Light Twins". We shared a hangar with a 53E squadron when I was in the USMC. It was a real beast. You could drive a HUMV right up the ramp and into the cargo bay.

I also had to get a special security clearance because I worked on Presidentials. The high security clearances are a farce. At the time , I was an active Alcoholic @ I was always racing on the street (motorcycles & cars) not to mention the Pot consumption. If they would give me a Top Security clearance (at the time) they would give anybody one! It was the 3rd top security clearance that I had.
   Irish  P.S. I quit drinking(25yrs) & I don't race anymore! |
