In the late 1970s, the heads at Winnebago teamed up with a small avaition company to create the weirdest and most extravagant recreation vehicle ever: The Helihome. A fully furnished flying home based on the body of a surplus Sikorsky helicopter.

Years later, the story of the helihome continues to captivate and I wanted to find the true story behind these bizarre machines and perhaps most interestingly, the man behind it all.
