Follow my restorations on Facebook under "Arcade Artifacts" here- / arcadeartifacts 1969 Midway "Whirlybird" restored by Bill Heatherly (bheath8295@aol.com). 300 hours invested into this restoration. Fun game where the player controls the up/down and forward/backward motion of the helicopter. Object is to fly the helicopter to the lit post and touch it with the helicopters whisker. This turns off the lite at that post and you fly to the next lit post. The more post you get the higher the score.

Thanks! Yes these old games need to be kept alive for future generations to see.
I love it!
I seen that game played one time back in the late 1960s at our trains hobby store with an older kid and he did real well with that game skill that he had just never forgot that
I remember this game back in the day. It was a lot of fun.
Neat.....
That is in INCREDIBLE shape!! All your hard work shows! Stunning!! 🤩
Like millions of other boys, I had the "home version" of this in the early 70's.
I used to play it all the time at the Piccadilly Circus arcade at Southdale mall in Minnesota.
The mini golf place in my neighborhood c.1970 had this game. I remember the red and black handles. Played it numerous times!
I loved this game as a child. The one I played had a military copter. It was so much fun. I miss those days.
My favorite game at Castle Lanes in San Francisco!
I love these old arcade games. Thanks for showing it off.
I played a similar version. It didn't have a mountain in the middle and the base of the field was flat astroturf. There was only one time I got the last target. I was so excited and hoped to rack up a really good score but the time ran out before I could get the next target.
Nice
Love it
had one

Great game. I love the Helicopter games.
The game must be boring quite quickly...

I got addicted to it as a teenager, pretty fun and challenging to get a higher score.
