Why these are filed here

The 269 and 300 series began as the Hughes 269, first flown in 1956. Schweizer built it under licence from 1983, acquired the design outright in 1986, and was itself bought by Sikorsky in 2004. We file the whole family under Schweizer, so airframes built and marketed as Hughes appear here too.
