1. Title: Agusta HH-3F Pelican MM81340 of 85 Centro SAR at Pratica-di-Mare Air Base (1998) This photograph showcases the Agusta HH-3F Pelican helicopter, specifically identified as MM81340 / 15-28, assigned to 85 Centro SAR (Search and Rescue Center) of the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare), at Pratica-di-Mare Air Base on March 28, 1998. The Pelican, with the manufacturing serial number 6224, is a prominent member of the Agusta HH-3F fleet, which is renowned for its versatility and capabilities in various search and rescue missions. The Agusta HH-3F Pelican is a twin-engine, medium-lift helicopter that was initially designed and manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in the United States. Later, the production was taken over by AgustaWestland, now Leonardo Helicopters, in Italy. The Italian Air Force has been operating this model since the late 1980s, and it continues to serve as an essential asset in their search and rescue operations. In this photograph, the Pelican is seen parked on the tarmac of Pratica-di-Mare Air Base, showcasing its distinctive features, including the large, hinged doors on each side that enable quick access to the cabin for rescue personnel and their equipment. The helicopter's versatility is further emphasized by the assortment of external equipment, such as hoists, rescue baskets, and searchlights, which are visible on the photograph. The Agusta HH-3F Pelican's service with the Italian Air Force is a testament to its reliability and effectiveness in performing various search and rescue missions. This photograph captures a moment in time, preserving the history and importance of this remarkable aircraft in the Italian Air Force's fleet.
