#31: When Elephants Fly
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a… flying elephant? This unique helicopter is unlike anything we have ever seen. Believe it or not, helicopters modified to look like elephants weren’t out of the norm in India a few decades ago. This design debuted during New Delhi’s Republic Day parade sometime in the 1970s.
This helicopter, called a Chetak, was decorated with colorful embellishments and modified to look like a giant elephant. Seeing this helicopter soar through the sky must have been a pretty unique experience. It’s not every day you get to see a giant majestic creature soar through the sky without a care in the world.
