Lakehurst NJ in 1985 or 1986. The big thing in the background is an old Navy blimp attached to a frame. Four helicopter sections were suspended on the frame. The whole craft was called the Helistat. Piasecki built it for the U.S. Forest Service as an experimental aircraft.
Jim Gosnell was the electrician. He's the fellow on the left. I was his assistant. I'm on the right. There was another electrician, though I don't have a picture of him. We all called him "Mac", I think his last name was MacKenzie. We wired the Helistat.
I forget the name of the fellow in the middle. I think he was one of the Piasecki workers from Sharon Hill, though I'm not 100% sure.
