Originally known by the designation HOK-1, this US Marine Corps Huskie differs from Pima's other example (an ex-USAF HH-43F) in that she is powered by a single 600hp Pratt & Whitney R1340-52 radial piston engine. She wears the markings of Marine Observation Squadron 6 (VMO-6) based at Camp Pendleton, California, circa 1965. She is displayed at Pima courtesy of the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, Florida. Since this photograph was taken she has been repainted in similar markings but has lost her original WB-7 tail-code.
