The Horse You Rode In On
March 2010

Derived from the basic Sikorsky S-58 design, the H-34
was initially rejected by all three U.S. military services. Yet in
spite of its earlier rejections, the H-34 ultimately served with all of
the U.S. military services as well as more than a dozen foreign military
services. The HUS-1 (UH-34D) Seahorse valiantly served the U.S. Marine
Corps in Vietnam, providing troop transport, fire suppression, and,
perhaps most importantly, medical evacuation (call sign Dustoff). The
Marine Corps operated more than 500 Seahorses for over a decade.
Note: Each month a different image from the current calendar year is featured here. To avoid
the gnawing 12-month period of suspense to see all 12 pieces (along with lots of aviation
anniversaries (When did the first pig fly?), incredible trivia (What is Godzilla's "birthday"?),
and outrageous quotes from people that should know better) place your
order for the Aerocatures™ Calendar now!
