With the above thread on slinging cars for television, I was reminded of a Chevy commercial from the 60's. According to the book "From Those Wonderful People Who Brought You Pearl Harbor," (a book about advertising), a Bell 206 was used to sling parts of the stripped down Chevy to the top of a Pinacle in Monument Valley. A mechanic was dropped to assemble the parts and once assembled a pretty, young model, was dropped off. The 206 then landed below to have the camera gear installed and then proceeded to film the commercial.
Once filming was finished, the 206 landed to have the camera gear removed before returning to pick up the mechanic and model. Problem was, the winds had become so strong that landing on the pinacle was out of the question, and by the time the winds had died down, it was too dark.
It was a cold night for the mechanic and the young model.
