Helicopter

1990s Bafco Catalogue 

Manufactured by Bafco as part of their "Classic Rides" range, this helicopter was released in the 1990s.  It was available in three versions.  One had a regular rocking motion, while the other two had a mechanical lift mechanism which allowed them to rise vertically when the ride was in action.  The "Mechanical Lift" had an option of two different types of lifters, hydraulic or electro-mechanical.  The electro-mechanical version could reach heights of 9" higher than the hydraulic.  The helicopter came in a variety of different colours.
