smalltownguy Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Does anyone know what happened/will happen with the Tennessee National Guard's 58s? Did they get to keep them? trade them for 60s? It is hard to find any info on this other than some random news outlets stories from back when they first talked about taking them all away. Any info would be great! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Pig Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I just got one of the KY NGs 58s. Its living the good life now. all new Garmin glass cockpit, new interior, new paint job. The 58s are all being surpluses out. The units that have them are just waiting for their number to get called and then off they go. The one I got was flying dope missions about 3 weeks before I got it. TH67s are all going as well. Pretty decent helicopter with a cranking A/C. They need some TLC but other than that they are nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBuzzkill Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 He's asking about the 58Ds. Totally different ballgame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Ahhh. The second guy down said The said the PR national police got some. Those weren't 58Ds. PR national police fly 407s. They may have some 58As. No LE agencies are flying 58Ds. Edited August 5, 2015 by Flying Pig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocity173 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 They're trading them for 60s. Guy I work with flys for them and went to EAATS last month for the 60 transition. Probably still in the course right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
