    One of the many Hiller Helicopters on display



    This machine was apparently in the movie "Agent Cody Banks"



    One thing that bugs me about living in the 2000's is that as a child it seemed a sure thing that we would have jet packs. Yet I look around and there are none to be had!

    WHERE ARE THE JET PACKS?

    Right here!




    There were many more wonderful displays and very fun (and informative) flight simulators. The whole family had a ball and I would highly recomend the museum as a worthwhile destination.

    The Hiller Aviation Museum
    601 Skyway Road
    San Carlos, CA 94070

    Cheers

    Gentlemen, please! Jetpacks, urban transport, MEN IN KILTS !

    I think I spied a Link trainer in the background. How hundreds of thousand of airmen learned to fly in them still amazes me.

    Very nice!

    My father retired as a V.P. of engineering for Fairchild-Hiller/Republic.

    I was fortunate enough to see many of those items, in years past.
    Brings back some great memories.

    Thanks for sharing!
