Sikorsky S-58T Air Crane Photo

I recently spotted this vintage helicopter at work over the Cumberland Community Improvement District in Atlanta's Cobb County.  I believe it was lifting air conditioning units to the roof of a nearby building.  This is an Sikorsky S-58T helicopter belonging to Winder, Georgia, based Air Crane.

This family of helicopters first flew in 1954.  It was initially designated as the HSS-1 Seabat by the Navy.  However, eventually it was known as the CH-34 Choctaw by the Army, the SH-34 Seabat, and the UH-34 Seahorse.  In civilian life, it is the Sikorsky S-58T.

It's not every day that you see a workhorse like this in action.  But, we were able to circle about a catch it from a few different angles.

This series of helicopters is known for having air intakes in the nose.  They give the beast a rather cute face.
