Helicopter Airways Sikorsky S-58
N865 (c/n unknown)
In the mid 1950s CHA expanded its
service from Midway to include not only the new Airport at
O'Hare, but also to Meigs
Field on Chicago's waterfront and to Gary, Indiana in the south and
Winnetka in the north.
To accomodate these new routes a fleet of S-58s was acquired. The above

Aircraft. The S-58 was basically a scaled-up version of
the S-55 offering
a little less noise for
passengers.
