March 2023

Patches of green from the passenger indicate the presence of a leprechaun on board. The Leprechaun Leap is one of many holiday events held at the Hiller Aviation Museum. The Robinson R44 is a four-seat light helicopter produced by the Robinson Helicopter Company since 1992.  The R44 was first flown in March 1990 and more than 6,300 have been delivered.  In 1997, a Robinson R44 was used for the first helicopter circumnavigation of the world by a woman, covering a distance of 36,000 miles in 97 days.  The Clipper II is a Raven II equipped with fixed or inflatable floats providing an additional level of safety for over-water travel.
