Hughes 369D/500D
How do you tell the difference between Hughes 369D and 500D from the
outside? Does any one know if that Hughes (TC's) helicopter appeared in Magnum P.I.'s TV shows a 369D or a 500D? -- kent |

There's no difference. 369 was the manufacturer's model series and on the
type certificate. "500" was the marketing name. "Kent Shih" wrote in message ... How do you tell the difference between Hughes 369D and 500D from the outside? Does any one know if that Hughes (TC's) helicopter appeared in Magnum P.I.'s TV shows a 369D or a 500D? -- kent |

I believe the original 500 was a C model and had 4 main rotor blades and
a C18 Allison engine. The D model has 5 blades and a C20 Allison. They are both type 369 helicopters. I believe Magnum used a D model.

Does the C model have the V shape tail rather than the T shape tail?
