Modeled on a fullsize MD500 S/N 120E. 120E was aquired by a local company in Kwa-Zulu Natal after is was grounded for nearly 20 years. She was refurbished is and is now in daily use. 120E has an interesting history. She is famous in Puerto Rico for leading the rescue of over 100 people off the roof of a burning hotel back in 1986. Below is a link to an old Rescue 911 video showing some footage : 911 footage in 1986

Well done!!!


Eddi will love the 500 ;-)
