Looking at that other posts images of the H-34's, had me wondering what ever happened to the screamin mimi from that show Riptide? I even had a model of the Mimi when I was growing up.

I saw it recently online, it was (then) still used for external load operations (I believe in the LA area).

The site or photo noted its TV past.
