Where incidents occurred
Why these are filed here
The 369, sold commercially as the Model 500, was designed by Hughes Helicopters. McDonnell Douglas bought the company in 1984, Boeing absorbed McDonnell Douglas in 1997, and the civil line was sold on in 1999 to become MD Helicopters. We file the 369 and 500 families under Hughes, which is how they are still generally known, and the later 600 and 900 under MD Helicopters.
