N111VA

Kermit Weeks actually just added this helicopter to his collection at Fantasy of Flight. Here is a video of it's arrival on May 14th, 2012. They hope to fully restore and have it flying again. I'll post more as I can of its progress.

Interesting fact about N111VA that I just discovered. It was originally N417A, and the helicopter used by New York Airways for the first passenger / mail flights in July 1953.
