Air America Helio Courier XW-PEA (c/n 541) departs the typically primitive airstrip at Thakhek West in September 1966. In keeping with Air America’s deliberately confusing and obscure registration system, this identity was also applied to at least two other Couriers at the same time, while all three were based at the airport in the Lao capital, Vientiane.

Showing the often atrocious condition of the landing strips, or “Lima sites”, Air America’s fleet of STOL aircraft were required to to operate from, this photograph of Helio Courier XW-PEA was taken at Thakhek West on July 22, 1966. Air America’s Couriers in Laos were finished in bare metal with the registration in black midway up the fin and sported a black triangle under the port wing, the apex of which pointed towards the trailing edge.

The six Sikorsky UH-34Ds of the Commission Internationale de Controle (two of which are seen here), flown predominantly by French pilots, were tasked with supervising the neutrality of Laos, and were all maintained by Air America at the latter’s repair depot at Udorn in Thailand. Note the Helio Courier already well airborne by the end of the runway at LS 20.

McAlpine also looked after the UK interests of the Helio Aircraft Company, the American manufacturer of impressive STOL types such as the H-395 Courier, McAlpine’s own example of which, G-ARLD (c/n 522), is seen here after it had joined the fleet in 1961. It was later destroyed as a result of a ground-based engine fire in 1988.
