GIFT OF HELICOPTER TO DEPARTMENT OF AIR FORCE (37) The Department of Air Force has been interested for many years in acquiring for museum purposes the University's Sikorsky R-4B aircraft (helicopter) Number N9765H. The aircraft is not airworthy, and the University does not intend to use it in any of its operations. T h e Director of the Institute of Aviation believes the aircraft has some value as an antique, although it has no current use value. The Air Force is interested in its historical significance, since it was one of the first fifty built for the Army Air Force in 1945. The Property Control Section, Department of Finance, State of Illinois, has authorized the donation of the helicopter to the Air Force. The Air Force has agreed to deliver the helicopter to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, at no cost to the University.
