Circa 1967, a mild Texas wind storm blew up and swept Downing Army Heliport at Fort Wolters clear of TH-55A Helicopters as if they were just a bunch to Tumbleweeds.....the downwind fence line was littered with them....am guessing about a hundred of them.
It was a pretty impressive sight to see when you arrived at the Heliport to do your day's flying during Primary Flight Training.
At one time there were about 1200 Helicopters assigned to the Primary Flight School at Fort Wolters.
TH-55's, OH-13's, OH-23's, and a handful of CH-34's and UH-1's for SAR along with a few light airplanes for use by Flight Instructors providing over watch on cross country flights.
I do not know when this photo was taken.....
