Description

This is the very last H369C models to come off the line and to be correct, it is actually designated H369HS due to the Rolls Royce C20B engine installed. Believe it or not, this aircraft has had only one owner since it left the factory in 1977. The current private owner purchased the last two ships off the assembly line and set about flying and maintaining them to a standard above and beyond the normal industry. The helicopter has been hangared every night for the last 47 years and had an unlimited budget applied to the maintenance and preservation of it. The asking price is high but when you look at the engine times remaining, I can tell you for a fact that the engine is worth $380,000 USD alone - it's essentially 0.0 hours TSO. I think the photos will tell the rest of the story and if you demand perfection and would like to own a vintage Hughes 500 in as-new condition - then call or email.
