  1. Wow, Steve! Love the shot of HLL, the best I've seen in many years. When I was growing up this machine was "the" helicopter. I drooled over the one photo I had of her, I would always cross my fingers for her to be at the airport when Dad and I visited, and I even repainted a diecast 500 - which I still have - to represent her, and I distinctly remember drawing her in my first year of school.

    Thank you so much for posting that. A wonderful find :-)

  2. As a follow-up to my comment above: do you happen to have any other photos of HLL in yellow? I had a handful from various sources but a routine Windows update a few months ago wiped everything. I'd be very grateful to see anything else you or others might have.
