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.
