Wonderful photo of Walt taking off in a Helicopter. Taken from a publicity still from “Walt Disney Presents: ‘A Progress Report and Nature’s Half Acre’ ” from the “Disneyland” T.V. Show on A.B.C. Photo is dated January 1955. I’ve often wondered if it was this helicopter ride, and of course Walt’s love of technology and innovative transportation, that inspired him to seek out the helicopter transportation from the Los Angeles International Airport to Disneyland (back when Disneyland had their own helipad). I’ve down a bit of research on this, but never followed through. Perhaps are good DHI friend Don B. has located something on this in the “Lost Treasures of Jack Wrather.” Enjoy!
