It was Sikorsky's first stab at the -53.

Good find...

Do you know where I can get hi-res images of that able dog?
I'm looking for 1 meg or higher so I can enlarge it.

I always thought that was a great story. Hasegawa made a model kit of 572 a while back (complete with toilet) but I haven't been able to get my hands on one.

Sadly, CDR Stoddard was later killed when his plane was struck by SAMs in 1966.

A toilet?

^^Nope, I'm good in that department.

I haven't had my hands around a toilet since early this past semester...that was a pretty good night.

That shit is funny.....

Damn, that would have been a great plane to fly.

Dropping a toilet. Classic. I bet aviation ordnance had to think a bit about how to rig that up. Is dropping a piss-bottle over bad-guy land even in the same ball park? Probably not.
