Thumbs down

When Hughes helicopters first designed and certified the 269 they wanted to show how easy it was to fly. They took one of the secretaries who also happened to be very attractive and trained her how to fly a helicopter. They took her all the way to commercial and got her an instructor’s ticket and sent her all over the world demonstrating the model 269. She was obviously very successful as they sold a lot of them as a result of her trip and demonstration. Her name was Roses Weidinger (possible misspelling of last name).
