Chuck Teschke, an aircraft maintenance veteran with 38 years of experience, is bringing aviation and automotive history together in one of the most creative restorations ever attempted. Using a donated, rusting Volkswagen camper van, he’s transforming it into the cockpit of a fully functional helicopter.
Blending nostalgia with engineering expertise, Chuck is repurposing the iconic VW van body to fit atop a real helicopter frame—preserving the van’s charm while achieving flight-worthy functionality. This one-of-a-kind hybrid is more than a passion project—it’s a tribute to innovation, resourcefulness, and classic design.
