Gotta love the turbine sounds they put in during the autorotation of a piston powered engine helicopter. Sounds like a 206 idling then shutting down the engine. You don't shut down an engine during an auto. Just roll off to idle. Target audience may not be for aviation enthusiasts but I bet you most watching are.
Jeannette Bardi here from Anchorage born Feb 3rd 1947 too Ralph Bardi an Jeannette Hiatt Romer. Step father Jack Romer who worked at Elmendorf keeping roads n grounds clear in winter . My dad Ralph Victor Bardi was born in Ak he was a commercial fisherman. I attended Anchorage schools Denali Clark Jr high an West High.
It would be nice if you can make an episode without lying . Shaking the camera the whole time in the helicopter to make it look like it’s because of wind was a joke.
The Jet Ranger is a good helicopter, but the operating costs are too high for a small airline to fly unless they need it. I don’t like the Robertson’s at all, but their operating costs are 1/6 or less of what the Bell is. Plus, in those remote locations, Jet-A just costs so much more. It will freeze unlike Avgas, so transport and storage costs are higher, and being less used in the area, it’s less available. Because of all this, smaller, cheaper to fly stuff keeps money coming in instead of going out.
I learn so much by your advice - thank you very much.

No one cares ☺️

Right. And it was fake shaking in post-production. Unwatchable.
I'll pass on those toy helicopters. The Jet Ranger was my go-to bird for many years, getting me to my mountain-top repeaters.

Those exploding helicopters... yeah... I see the series is back to the terrible sensationalist first half of season 1. :-(
