The "Acceleration Pkg." offers a EH-101 but I wouldn't suggest buying the pgk. just for that. It only has a V/C and it is all but impossible to read the gauges making it extremely difficult and no fun to fly.

What was Microsoft thinking when they designed that bird and birds like it with only a V/C and unreadable gauges??? I sure hope they plan on updating those panels!

Thanks LeFeaoux,

I appreciate the help. However I'm not running FSX. I'm trying to get at least a complete U.S. Coast Guard collection going. So far, I just need the Dassault Falcon. We operate the HU-25 Falcon. Now, I'm also working on older USCG aircraft as well. I've got the HU-16, and the HH-52. An H-3 would be perfect.

I have also been searching for an HH-3, and I do not think that a USCG HH-3 exitst. The EH101 is similar, but is non-amphibious and much more modern(panel wise)

To hold you over until you can find a model I suggest that you read Spike Walker's "Nights of Ice" and
Martha J. LaGuardia-kotte's<---Probably not spelled right "So Others May Live". They are excelent books recalling some of the most harrowing USCG helicopter rescues of all time.

I would checkout the Virtual Coast Guard. Their website is http://www.vuscg.org. ; I know that they are working on a collection of older Coast Guard aircraft and their vintage section has a picture of the HH-3.
