The successful Hughes 500/MD 500 series began life in response to a U.S. Army requirement for a Light Observation Helicopter.
The 500 series design features shock-absorbing landing skid struts, a turboshaft engine mounted at a 45-degree angle toward the rear of the cabin pod, a fuel tank cell under the floor and the battery in the nose. The engine exhaust port is located at the end of the cabin pod underneath the tailboom. It has a short-diameter main rotor system and a short tail, giving it agile control response and is less susceptible to weather-cocking.

Whiteman Airport is a general aviation airport in the city of Los Angeles, California, United States. The airport handles small aircraft as well as medium turboprops, helicopters and jets. The control tower is in operation daily.
