One of the most nimble helicopters in service today is the Hughes Model 500. This machine is a development of the U.S. Army's OH-6A Cayuse which proved so valuable as an observation and attack helicopter in the Vietnam war. The Model 500 is modified with a T type tail and a five-blade rotor for more quiet operation. The sprightly defender can carry nearly all military equipment designed for helicopters.FEATURES -
