I've been maintaining these birds for nearly 6 years now, including G-EHMS and her sister ship G-LNDN, love seeing them in action so thanks for the upload. The 902 was orginely an upgraded variant 900 and didn't come off the production line with the extension, only more powerful p&w 206E or 207E engines, revised fuel distribution system and upgraded avionics. The tail boom extension didn't come until 2006 as a post preduction retrofit to increase antitorque control authority and also to allow greater all up weight operation.
@jonpsutton452 And?! ... would you, as an Helicopter-Mechanic say that the NOTAR-Technic is better or saver instead of a Chopper with a usual tailrotor?
Such a tentative looking takeoff? Must have been a civilian trained pilot. Want to see a vid of this heli doing a crazy, high altitude, mountain rescue with some savvy flying!

I can't believe this design is over 18 years old! It's so pretty and so modern.

El MD 902 lo vi cuando tenia 9 años en el 2001
Anyone else notice the nav lights changed the rate of flash
Do they have a boom extension kit on that 902 ?
What is the frame rate of this video?
