It's few grabs from a 1964 KCRA special called "KCRA-Colorama".

It's a Hughes 269b 3 person Piston helicopter with KCRA markings and what looks like a small film camera mounted on the upper left skid.

There are 3 guys onboard.

There does not appear to be any live transmission gear.

 

I have never heard anything about this aircraft being in semi-regular use at KCRA.

 

Besides an old expired FAA entry I have NOTHING on this Airship except what is in the pic.

 

You can see video of this copter in the KCRA Colorama Special which is a gem when it comes to broadcasting history.

 

Must see TV...
