Vent to our local Hiller Museum's annual Vertical Challenge helicopter air show. Took lots of photos.

Thank you very much for sharing these. Do you know if these were all flyable? I really like that little XROE-1 (I think that is what it is called).

I think that most of them are. Don't know about the historical exhibits...

Great pictures!

Would it possible to have them as zip files once again?

I remember those old Bell 47G's from my childhood; in recent years I've even seen one flying around Phoenix on occasion (although I've not seen it in a while). They definitely have a distinctive engine noise that always sounded like there was a lot of loose change flying around inside the engine.
