Cessna CH-1 "Skyhook" Helicopter: Extremely rare film of the Skyhook in flight

Over Seattle World's Fair in August 1962. There is no audio - this was converted from an 8mm (film) home movie.

I've always been a helicopter freak and had a model of this helicopter when I was a kid. I've never seen one full size. Thank you for preserving this piece of history!!

A Cessna built / designed copter had to look like this . Very Cool!

[@JohnSmith-nz9dn]

Agreed! I always thought it looked like a 150 without wings.
