Den Kaman HH-43 Huskie was a helicopter with intermeshing rotors that was used by the US military for firefighting and rescue missions from the 1950s to the 1970s. The Huskie had a unique design that eliminated the need for a tail rotor and allowed it to hover and maneuver in tight spaces. The Huskie was powered by a piston engine or a turboshaft engine, depending on the model. The Huskie was deployed in various locations around the world, including Vietnam, where it performed search and rescue operations under the call sign “Pedro”. The Huskie was eventually replaced by newer helicopters, but it remains a remarkable example of innovation and versatility in aviation history.
