A dramatic rescue of young Terrence Hallinan by a Hiller helicopter in 1949 helped the young Menlo Park company grow its business.
The 12-year-old youth was bucked from a horse in an area at the 8,100-foot level of Yosemite National Park.
Rescue attempts by the Navy and a Bell helicopter were unsuccessful but Jay Demming, the Hiller company's chief test pilot, plucked the boy from the mountain on July 31, 1949.
