Hotelicopter is an April Fools Day video prank that went viral in 2009 showing a craft based on the Soviet made Mil V-12 military helicopter, leading millions to believe the world's first luxury hotel/helicopter was a reality. The video and website explained the first commercial flight of Hotelicopter was scheduled to take off on 26 June 2009 from JFK Airport in New York City, and reach the UK later that August.
In 2010 the Christian Science Monitor named the Hotelicopter as one of its top five online April Fools pranks. The Times also included the prank in its 10 best travel April fools, rating it as 10/10.
