Sky Hawk

Manufactured as part of their "Classic Rides" range, the Sky Hawk helicopter was released by RG Mitchell in the early 1990s.  While the bottom half was always white, the top half had many colour variations.  The most common seems to have been green.

The mould was also used for Mitchell's red and white police helicopter ride.

This was a very popular ride with shops and amusement arcades alike throughout the 1990s and even into the early 21st century, when most other generic rides seemed to have had their day.

The ride measured 63" x 25" x 60" and weighed 150lbs.  As of the 2001 price list, it cost £1,895.00 to purchase.
