Sir good morningb ell 47 helicopter it is my ambition pilot but it's me for Indian I am for handicapped my life target please sir training for me bill 47 helicopter 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭

I wonder what the song is

😃👍🏼

based in Ohio?

It seems the helicopter has an extremely narrow range of acceptable engine and rotor rpm for flight. Am I reading the rpm instrument correctly? RPMs have to be between 3.0k and 3.2k? So if there is an engine failure, a pilot would have, what, 5 seconds to begin autorotation?

Commercial pilot, the video gets good when fortunate son comes on. At one time I was looking at getting this rating, but wound up doing fixed wing. Helios still look cool. My neighbor flew one as dust off in Vietnamese. They gave him 60 hours of trading. Then sent him in.

Congratulations, and thanks for "taking me" on a flight in this incredible helicopter. Beyond this, I found it incredibly detailed how you showcased the controls, the checklist, and how to operate them with the necessary art and time. There are experienced pilots from whom one can truly enjoy and learn, and you, Sr, are one of them. Thanks!

Helico à pistons

Very good show !

My uncle had a Bell 47.

It's nice looking

I wish they would remanufacture the Bell it had plenty of legroom and room and space that was the Mercedes of the time or the best Cadillac around

Good stuff. Pilot with a great personality, he must have a lot of friends.

Best handling piston helicopter

You got a few basics things to ck. You should know them by hart. You need a ck list ??

Is it personal preference whether you start the engine with the rotor engaged? I heard it can be started either way.

My first flight ever was in a Bell 47G in 1976. Still my favorite after all these years but there are many contenders for first place.

Hi from Germany, great helicopter! When did you get rid of the turbo? Do you still have the old primer assay? Mine went leaky and I am looking for a new old stock. Thomas

Nice job. It’s the very early model

You like to show off that thing. Don’t you ?? Hmm

What's it's cost/price of bell.

Wonderful and excellent video. Enjoyed it. Thanks

I like how the music sets in at 15:10.

It's two years to the day since my wife booked me two hours flight instruction on a Bell 47 for my sixtieth birthday. Although I've had my fixed wing licence for 38 years I'd never flown a helicopter. Did fine on straight and level flight, reasonable on standard rate turns and a nice controlled approach with a twenty degree crosswind. Then it was time to try the hover. Each time I lasted about 30 seconds until my instructor took back control. PIO. I just couldn't deal with the lag between control input and the rotor head response. When I apologised my instructor laughed and said you kept it within the airfield, well done. PS; The 47 I flew had a horizontal yellow band around the bubble cockpit. Before we took off my instructor explained its purpose; On engine failure you can make it to anywhere below the line, above it, forget it.

Rode in my father’s Hiller 12e with the Lycoming many of times. Very similar aircraft

I got my Commercial License 40 years ago in a 47G5 A, I LOVE those little helos . Not having any kind of dashboard to hinder your view is awesome. Yes they are underpowered ,don’t have a high ceiling , fly fast ,but they are so much fun.

The only thing that would make this video any better would have it been made at Fort Walters in Mineral Wells Texas. 😁🛫

This is a blast from the past for me! I am 67 years old now, in the early 70’s in Norfolk, Va Colonial Helicopters had a 135 operation. Gene Hicks was the Owner. They allowed me to tag along with reposition flights. Giving me opportunity gain dual instruction. I flew 10 hours in the Bell 47 G, due to the $65.00 and hour expense compared to $6.50 and hour for a fixed winged airplane and being in high school you know where my money went!. Today I am retired with 20 thousand hours plus pilot in fixed wing air planes. Thanks for the video!😁🛫

BELL BUBBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a little mistake here, I guess. He shouldn't have turned the battery off (and, consequently, the beacon off) until the main rotor stops.

this chopper is from the old TV show MASH.

Always wanted to do this .

loved it, great video.

1ST AIR CALVARY, NAM 67, IM HAVING FLASH BACKS !!

The very first time I seen a real live Bell 47 was in 1966. I was working at a Saw Mill in Kearney Ontario Canada. They asked us to clear an area because a helicopter was going to land. We just barley got the space cleared and the Wirley Bird showed up. That's what we called them back then. Because of the TV show of that name I guess. One of the Muckity Mucks that owned the mill was on board. I remember the landing gear was big black rubber pontoons so it could land on water if it had to. It stayed there for the afternoon and then it was off and away. I will tell you that not much lumber piling happened that afternoon but there sure was a lot of gawking and a lot of stupid questions. Great memory. One worth never losing and one that even after all these years is still worth retelling.

My first mx job was working on 47 g's and j models. I remember the hours spent wiping grease off with a shop towel. Learnt so much back then.

Technological advances will never substitute for this. My brother flew with the US Army in the Veit'm thing. He mentioned traiing and the transmission chip light. During the massive training effort they lost a lot of trainees flying undr the wether.. He said he lost more on leave to high speed auto accidents. His biggest fear? The patroll not arriving on timr. You ar the paymaster. They are on drugs and they have guns.

he looked genuinely dissapointed she didnt want to go again! hahaha

So, should we say ''Hail to the Chief'' - for blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines??? I don't think so . . .

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'll share this with my father in law who flew this for the British Army before I was born!

Hi. One little question. For exampel in the real life. M.A.S.H. With an emergensy , you can't wait 10- 15 minits for warm up. So what do you do? Make a video on that. Please. Best wishes from Pilot Bo.

Straight 6?

That thing is beautiful, especially considering its age. That music is from the wrong war, isn't it? What was popular during the Korean Conflict?

Really enjoyed your video.

i watched it until the music ruined it. exiting out

I wanna go on a helicopter ride too. That is too cool. 3 dimensional existence.

Thanks for this excellent video.

Helicopters don't fly, they beat the air into submission........took a spin in one at Oshkosh this year. Every day there was a long wait, got there early, still had to wait for almost 2 hours. So cool!
