We wired ours up to an electric train transormer, and burned the motor out trying to pick up the cat. One of the best toys I ever had.

I had one as a kid. Got it for Christmas. All of my dad's Airforce buddies were over at our house since they were away from home. I had to get mom to get the guys to leave my new toy alone so I could play with it.

Yes, I had the coast guard one.

There are some modern day knock off out there. I wonder if they compare?

There is a knock off made. I have a version of it (had the vertibird back when they first came out.)
still fun. you can get them cheap. (like 20.00) for the knockoff. It is Chopper patrol

from a vertibird website.-The Chopper Patrol line by Jasman has replaced the Chopper Command. The primary difference is Chopper Commands VertiBird like 2 blade rotor has been replaced with a 3 bladed rotor with safety ring on Chopper Patrol.
