Winnebago's amazing flying motorhomes

I think this would qualify as a "Super" RV, but maybe it just appeals to the retired heli driver in me :-) You sure could buy a lot more for $300K in the 70's.

WOW. I'd never heard even a word about this - or maybe my memory isn't working.

I've been trying to visualize a toad attached. :)

Thanks for sharing.

I sure don't remember them and I was pretty active in both back then. I knew of Orlando Helicopters because they were the primary rebuilder for the big ol Sikorskies. I don't keep up with the heli industry like I used to in my old age.

That's a pic of an old H-19. Korean war vintage. I worked on and flew that under powered lighter than air thicker than s--t general mess of metal flying in same direction in the early 60s. Always glad to get back on the ground.

You couldn't sling a Jeep with that ol bird. Three fifty five gal. drums of water in the cargo bay would hold it to the ground for power on blade tracking.
