The faint markings on the fuselage read 'D-HAQU'. The original D-HAQU (c/n 8060) was destroyed in 1972 in the terrorist attack during Olympic Games in Munich. The helicopter in the picture is ex US Army 66-00749. It later became D-HAQO and was used to film the movie 'Munich'. In September 2016 it was seen with '0-60749' on the dashboard, 'D-HAQU' on the sliding door and 'D-HAQO' on the tail. According to the museum, it was also used for the filming of World War Z and Tropic Thunder. The museum seems to own both helicopters, making this a bit of a puzzle initially.
