S-55s Waiting to Go

Just up the road from Brewster Airport is another collection of vintage helicopters.  Monse has some even older airframes.  I was a little disappointed at first because I thought that they were going to be R-5s but, when I got there, I came across a bunch of immaculate S-55s.  There may have been an R-5 in there too because I could see the tail of something different.  Most of what I could see was S-55s, though.

Each of them looked in fantastic condition.  They all had individual paint schemes that looked flawless so there was little to be disappointed about.  I could shoot what I could see from the road outside the entrance to the driveway.  Again the signage did not encourage visitors so I decided against walking up the driveway to see whether they would let me shoot the collection up close.  It certainly would be good to visit in more detail though.
