I wish I was that talented to create such models. Trust me, the helicopter and car are very real. Here is another pic of my car behind the hangar. I have more with the helicopter that are on my work computer, I will post them later.

I have a question...how do you get that chopper out of there? It doesn't have wheels. Does the roof open or do you have like...a truck that moves it out?

We have wheels that attach to the skids. Then it's pure manpower, we push it out. Some of our aircraft can accept a tug which goes under the landing gear and lifts it up with hydraulics, much easier. This particular model of aircraft has wide fairings around the landing gear crosstubes, therefore we cannot use the tug.

Wow that's awesome.

I live practically walking distance from that airport. Can I come checkout the chopper in person??

Would make a sweet pic with a blue and red Z's on each side.

The helicopter is not in Van Nuys any longer. It is part of our Las Vegas section that does tours to the Grand Canyon. It was here for a couple of weeks for some maintenance.

It's obviously real, the guy would have to be a genius with photoshop to make it look like that.
