An H-34 accident occurred 7 DEC 1966 in N. Texas performing surveys for the USGS. The aircraft was an Army aircraft operated by the aircrew from IA-ARNG. The crew set the aircraft down after feeling a vibration in the rotors. After inspection, they attempted to hover/fly the aircraft closer to the road for maintenance to service and/or make repairs, when a M/R blade separated from the aircraft. The aircraft crashed and burned, killing all on board. LTC Harley J. Finley, Maj Laverne B. Huffman, SPC John F. Zeimet

In 2005 there was a description of the accident which is not 100% correct.
The helicopter was a Ch-37 and per eye witness Henry Grewing Jr. the helicopter did not hover to re-position.
Just curious who "springs" (author of article) was that made the comment in 2005 and would like to visit with him.
