Kaman HOK-1 (After 1962 OH-43D )


In the 70s I, among others, worked on the Kaman HOK-1 at the Bradley Air Museum. The aircraft was (still unfinished) placed in storage following the 1979 tornado.

The museum name changed to The New England Air Museum shortly after the tornado.
I will be adding more photos of the HOK-1 in the future.

The Pratt & Whitney Engine

The Tail of 125530 on 129801 for the classic look.


Just before work began.  The 1979 tornado stopped the work.
