In its heyday, Chicago Helicopter Airways ran passenger services between O'Hare and Midway airports, Meigs Field, Winnetka, and Gary, Indiana. The company operated between 1956 and 31 December 1965 when federal subsidies ran out, and tried again between 1969 and 1974. The livery seen here was white, blue and grey from top to bottom with a thin red cheatline and red titles. Later, N867 wore a largely white livery; this is assumed to have been during CHA's second period.
