That's not old. This is old.
The very first helicopter operated by the Los Angeles Police Department is still flying, in England.
It's a Hiller 12C. I don't remember the exact date, but it started work in the early 1950s.
When I flew it a couple of years ago it was owned by Warren Chmura at Lands End, but he subsequently sold it - I don't know to whom.
It would be nice to see it restored to LAPD livery.
