Had there been no fog, it was still a kick-ass landing.

Great video for what NOT to do All the idiots going nice job. Your ignorance makes me happy. As long as there are so many of you, job security for me. Keep up the dumbassery pls!!!!

What a beautiful maneuver. A true pilot. Im not sure of the context going on in the comments, but that was true skill.

I just cannot cope in that the passenger did not secure the door. Great flying, great video, thanks. It’s MD500 not 400

That's reckless flying. RIP.

There are Old pilots & there are Bold pilots But there are no Old Bold pilots

Тайная встреча наркодилеров ?

he knows his job

I don't set my watch down that gently.

Deff trap

I will scrub this guy's skids. Badass! You can tell he was 1* off course coming in but, not bad lol.

Great landing. Not difficutl to do. Being there, done that while flying the OH6 , precursor of this MD500, many years ago. 60 - 70 knots, 50-100 feet, dump the power, bleed the speed before and on the roll/pedal turn, back on the power, and settle it down. As someone said before me long ago, " a helicopter's manuverability is only limited by the pilot's imagination and skill." Still, impressive to watch from the outside.

This is one Dude that knows his Helicopter and my most favorite the MD-500 and I’ve been around pilots who flies them all around and they’re fast and they have a unique sound

Mmmm, I do love how the rotor looks with analog video.

I hope the pilot has the confidence/competence mix right - time will tell. Great visuals - love that Heli !

perfekt

What fog? It’s totally VFR! lol

Finesse! This is how these machines were meant to fly!! Love it! 👏

His balls also landed when he did. 😂

Just for the record it’s a Hughes 500D not an MD 400. When MD bought Hughes they changed the canopy to the pointed shape. They should’ve left it alone the original looks better!..

If I ever flew with a pilot that did this in low visibility, I'd never fly with them again.

It's a beautiful thing that guy gets to do. While the landing was cool and impressive, the far more impressive thing to me is flying a heli in those conditions. I've wondered how the Kobe Bryant thing happened and did a heli sim flight in similar conditions, as well as flying at night in the mountains with almost no visual reference. Despite fully understanding the instruments, the thing is helis are an incredibly unstable vehicle and keeping the instruments stable without visual cues devolves into a shit storm. At least for me, in the sim. So this guy flying confidently through heavy fog is pretty impressive to me. I pull those landings all the time in the sim. Flying in fog for me is a far less confident experience.

A legend doing what he had done since he was a boy. Taught by another legend....his dad.

when its your heli and your paying the fuel bill you can fly it anyway you want too,,,,,,,

Big. Fuckin. Balls.

Utter nut job but he seems to know where he's going...

I like when the md 400 helicopter turn like that 0:25

That’s how we do it in NZ 😀

This is pretty much half of the entire NZ air force vehicles in one video lol

We used to fly the OH-6 just like that, back in my younger days. A lot if fun indeed.

For those interested, his name was Morgan David Saxton. He died in 2008 (28 years old) in an R22 crash due to a mast bump incident. He was reportedly using his phone texting just prior to the crash. He had also been sentenced to two years prison just prior to the crash for theft of Greenstones. He became a statistic as to why Robinsons are banned in New Zealand.

Uber helo in a rush. Amazing flying

No, that's how I land my helicopter when I can't hold my shit anymore! Gettin old is no fun!

Good land but with fog great possibility for one strike with cable to EletricTower, think ahead

Flown in lots of places, fixed and rotary. NZ Heli pilots have to be the most skilled and excellent I've flown with. All that deer recovery work in really challenging terrain, the preference for the MD 500 series aircraft and private ownership and operations away from traffic, built a skill set and "stick and rudder" feel that is unique to NZ. Doubts? Go book yourself a heliski holiday in the the land of the long white cloud. Unforgettable for the skiing, pristine environment, and the flying. Highest per capita private ownership of helicopters anywhere in the world. This is because a farmer there needs a 4WD drive... and a chopper just to get to chunks of a "ranch". Check out "The last great adventure", an old doco on deer recovery industry at its zenith. What they did with MD 500c and D models will blow your mind... Crazy? yes but brilliant... The Dr..

There are old pilots and bold pilots...but no old bold pilots.

That's some damn fine flying

great pilot !

Great to see a seasoned professional at work. Thank you

Best landing

I want to show up to a party like that

That was beautiful !

Holy shit that was a awesome landing .

Amazing pilot 🚁
