EdsTowing Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 So we were asked to help the Veterans Association & VFW by transporting a 1967 Bell Helicopter to a Veterans appreciation event at a park. The unit was actively used in Vietnam from 67-74 as a Gun Ship... It was bigger then it looks and had a wicked overhang... My grandson Vincent is a "War Buff" and had a great time! Just something a little out of the ordinary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rreschran Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Just for fun ... may I ask how you handled the over-hang issue ... with a permit and pilot car or did law enforcement assist with a rearward escort?

EdsTowing Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 We transported it through our local Halloween Parade yesterday... My son & I have gotten pretty "fluent" with moving this...LoL We always have a truck behind to stop traffic for the "swings" and an escort up front. We have only moved it locally without permits. I can't permit on a RT Tag so we don't take it any distance. It's only slightly over height...the trailer was custom made to let it ride as low as possible.

mushspeed Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Ed ….The 550 looks really smart I bet the whole outfit was a real crowd pleaser on the parade ... We love doing stuff to support the community. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
