I photographed these Bell TH-57 Sea Ranger examples at Pensacola and the Tillamook Air Museum. Numerous online resources cite the Tillamook Sea Ranger as “162028′ but that one is hanging in the museum at NAS Pensacola.
Bell TH-57C Sea Ranger
When retired in 1977, the Museum’s Sea Ranger had amassed more flying hours (22,000 hours) than any other Jet Ranger than in existence. Known as “Little Red,” it was sent to the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida where it was then placed on loan to the Tillamook Air Museum.
