Not a Caption: Years ago Sikorsky built the S-60, which was pretty much a CH-54 looking machine spun off from the CH-37 with the two huge Radial Engines.
They equipped the aircraft with a similar platform to that in the photo.....and put some passenger seats on the thing....in the open.
Talk about a panoramic view!
The story goes that Igor Sikorsky went along for a ride on the platform....complete with the famous Fedora Hat....and when the Crew happened to look back....Igor had unstrapped and was walking around like a tourist at Brighton Beach.
He was one of a kind!
The Fedora is still in his Office which has been preserved as it was when he was still working there.
