EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two Sikorsky S-62A helicopters, 5B-CBU (msn 62-107) and 5B-CBS, are seen parked at Doha International Airport. The helicopter in the foreground, registered in Cyprus, bears the markings of Gulf Helicopters. The year is estimated to be around 1975. The Sikorsky S-62A, also known as the Sikorsky Seaking, is a versatile twin-engine helicopter that was first introduced in 1959. It was widely used for various roles, including search and rescue, medical evacuation, and offshore transport. The helicopter's distinctive hump over the cabin provided additional space for cargo or passengers. The helicopter in the background, 5B-CBS, is also an S-62A, but its registration indicates that it was not part of Gulf Helicopters' fleet at the time. The presence of two Sikorsky S-62As at Doha International Airport suggests that they were in Qatar for a visit or were part of a larger helicopter operation in the region. The photograph captures the essence of aviation in the 1970s, with the helicopters' classic design and the simple, utilitarian surroundings of the airport. The image also provides a glimpse into the history of Gulf Helicopters and the role that the Sikorsky S-62A played in Qatar's aviation industry. This photograph is a reminder of the important role that helicopters played in the 1970s, providing essential transport and logistical support in various industries, including oil and gas, search and rescue, and medical evacuation. The Sikorsky S-62A remains a beloved and iconic aircraft, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into its history and use in Qatar.
