Taken on the day the Hiller Aviation Museum reopened after the pandemic shutdown.  First flown in 1945, the Bell 47 became the first helicopter certified for civilian use on 8 March 1946.  The D-model, like this one, was the first to appear with a molded “goldfish bowl” canopy.  Fuji X-Pro2 w/18-55mm.
