how did they get the helicopter off the building after this happened
Jump to postI was just reading about New York Airways Helicopter and discovered they started service to the Heliport atop the Pan Am Building in 1965 and then dropped the service in 1968. Was the service unprofitable.They resumed service in 1977 but dropped service after the accident which resulted in 4 deaths ...

Jump to postDo the Rolling Stones still have their Boeing 767-200ER? They will be in Columbus Ohio May 30.I wonder
will it be flying into CMH or Rickenbacker?
Are any airlines still flying Boeing 767-200ERs or have most airlines retired them? I know there a number still flying
for cargo carries like DHL. Have all US Air carriers retired theirs,,But plenty of 767-300ERs are still in passenger service.
I know this will be a unusual question. Ever since I saw a TWA Lockheed 749A Constellation when I was a kid in the 1960s,I always wondered why the red dart was below the windows rather than over the windows like their jets. When TWA was repainting their 749A connies did they try to do it over the wi...
