The U. S. Army placed an order for six CH-54A Tarhe helicopters in June, 1963. This version was powered by two 4,500-shp Pratt & Whitney T73-P-1 engines, and production eventually totaled approximately 60, with another 10 CH54-B helicopters being built with more powerful 4,800-shp engines. These helicopters were capable of lifting approximately a 12,000 lb. payload. The Tarhe served in a heavy-lift role in Vietnam. Only 97 Tarhes were built for the Army between 1964 and 1972. Eventually used by the Army National Guard, the last one was retired in 1993 by the 113th Aviation of the Army National Guard based in Reno, Nevada. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
