Alice (Bell) Surrency

1977 – 1978, at Osan AB, Korea as a Crew Chief on the H-3’s.

1978 – 1980, back at McClellan AFB, CA. with the 41st CAMS on the HH-53C’s.

Being a rotorhead is where my heart lies, everyone in my family has now worked for Sikorsky Helicopters.  My husband is a Crew Chief in the experimental hanger here in West Palm Beach, FL. and I was a Final Assembly Inspector in West Palm also, and now our son has been at Sikorsky West Palm in the flight test branch as a Computer Engineer.  We all have helicopters in our blood, I wonder if it is genetic?
