I agree as well, no cuts well explained THE COOLEST FREAKIN FLIGHT I mean cmon, VIPs to the f1 race?! I was also fascinated by how the racetrack had an airspace and lil heliport, so badass
Wow! This is why I love YT, it enables us to see 'behind the scenes' whilst highly skilled ppl do their jobs/hobbies. From an amateur flight simmer, that was incredible to watch, thank you for uploading. The level of skill and focus to be able to not just fly a helicopter, but also operate in such a busy environment blows my mind! 🤯👏👍
Thanks so much! It's great to share my little world! I'm lucky I have done this event a few times so I knew what to expect..... I was so nervous my first time years back in a little 4 seater! It might be a little difficult to recreate this on flight sim tho! 😎🚁
Wow, I've never met a heli pilot that isn't extremely good at what they do. When I did my theory of flight exam, the instructor said fixed wing is easy, he had 250 slides of powerpoint with 1 slide attributed to helicopters, it was titled 5 words, 'Magic'.
I love how the blade RPM and frame rate match up to give us the image of the blade in flight like it's stopped....great view of the amazing mechanical wonder of high performance helicopters.
Honestly I feel more comfortable in a helicopter (still where most my experience is!). If there is a problem, you can slow it down and sort it out..... or just land! 😎🚁
@@hangandrew so true.. both appear to have been at night, in low visibility, and mountainous terrain. A challenge for even the most experienced pilots. Any 2 of those and I'd rather sit it out, than get on a GA flight...
Everytime I watch a helicopter video I am reminded of the Summer of 76 which I spent flying all over the UK loading people for 90 second pleasure flights at big shows. Much of the time I was piloted by the late, great Dick Meston #goodolddays
@@richardtyrer I can still remember the 206 tail numbers: G-BBFE, our workhorse, no frills and lightest 206. G-AVTE, our 206 with popouts, so hard to stop passengers standing on them and G-AYMX, our heaviest VIP 206. Church Fenton Airshow was the event when all three were used simultaneously 😎
So far, we've seen you fly the DA42, a TBM940, a Phenom 300, and now a EC155. 😃 And I'm now starting to ask myself : (Is there anything that man CAN'T fly??)Oo. 🤔😳😉👍
Started my career flying VVIP in EU/FRG some 35 years ago .. sure has gotten more efficient and enjoyable with GPS, TCAS & moving map. Love how they simplified the callsigns with colors and was good to hear QSY used for brevity (I kept using it around the world but no ATC in USA knows Q code or what that means anymore) ... great video.
Loved the video. I’ve had the opportunity to be in the back seats, flying in and out of the Silverstone GP, and it was a truly amazing experience. I was in awe of the choreography of the pilots coming into, and leaving the helipads. To see it from the front seats 👌
being a paramotor pilot and absolutely terrified by your air shredder i am shocked how little the turbulence influencing each other of you guys there hovering. makes me realize how vulnerable we are with our little backpack fan and a bed sheet above the head. even normal turbulence can cause a crash for us while you sitting there with 5 others barely moving. very impressive. i was expecting alot more shaking next to hovering helis
Never heard the term air shredder before! I’ll remember that! You do get a bit of turbulence when we are all hovering next to each other, but the camera stabilisation removes it! I can’t turn it off otherwise the rest of the video would be rubbish! 😎🚁
@@richardtyrercheers for answer! haha yes i call them like that because air is bad even minutes after heli is gone. i saw a guy here flew into the down wash from a small heli which was already gone 2 minutes and he took a massive collapse from that. if i see one nearby me i land asap and hold onto my wing. yes dont turn off stabilization. we are too fragile! thanks for clearing that up. i thought you cant hover so close to each other
Used to be alot busier when they used to land on the infield before the wing was built. Still strikes me as impressive watch all you guys coming in as over the last 25yrs ive worked at the gp
Just echo the comments of others. Very cool video and loved the departure choregraphy. Also love the autopilot on that helo you were flying. They have got so incredibly advanced.
10:43 BlackBlack Zero ...... I flew it once in an EC120, great fun. On departure I was underflown by a blackblack guy who then climbed up infront of me. It's very busy! I was ChequerChequer something.
As many have mentioned…that sequence of departures was rather good. I’m used to seeing a good formation flight haha. 😎🚁 Great work with this video too. 👏🏻
@@richardtyrer aww thanks for the reply man, just started checking out your channel more - wow you are quite the aviator, and all great content! you got my sub man, much love! stay safe brother and keep inspiring us from afar :)
Aberdeen Airport is the world's busiest commercial heliport. Aberdeen Airport (ABZ) opened in 1934 and during WWII it was used as an RAF base. Subsequently, it quickly grew as Aberdeen's status as an oil city expanded, and the airport now operates 24 hours.
Have to say from a fellow whirly driver - great video, great comentary. We all do it in our heads so why not speak it out. Pleasant to watch how you handled a heavy workload with ease. The AP & the radio stacks woudl have helped to lesson that workload. keep safe and fly the numbers.
Unreal video tbf Richard! A real look into a world most of us don't get to see!! Stuff like these keeps me motivated during the ATPL theory hell... Remember? xD
This has got to be one of the best helicopter videos I've seen on youtube and I have watched hundreds of them
Thank you so much! Awesome to hear! 😎🚁
Take a look at mine too if you want 😊
I literally said the exact same to myself
I agree as well, no cuts well explained THE COOLEST FREAKIN FLIGHT I mean cmon, VIPs to the f1 race?! I was also fascinated by how the racetrack had an airspace and lil heliport, so badass
This is a great video no doubt I have as well a small channel myself as a pilot if you would like to take a look 😀 😉
That sequenced departure was one of coolest things I've seen for a while. Keep the vids coming!
It was pretty special to watch! 😎🚁
Agreed! That was pretty awesome!
How come they all left at the same time?
That sequence with all crafts just hovering in line was so cool!
It was pretty special! For the first time I was happy to be at the back of the queue! 😎🚁
Also +1 for F1
The multiple take-offs' was pretty cool, just seeing the different styles of launching.
It was epic from where I was sitting! For the first time I was happy to be at the back of the queue! 😎🚁
I'm breathless at your skill and professionalism.
Thanks so much Alan! 😁👍
@@richardtyrerthink Alan wants it
Wow, that controller is a pro!
These guys are at the top of the game! 😎
Not sure now, but they used to use off duty Heathrow tower controllers.
Sounds very much like Kev, normally found at Southend. He is indeed a legend!
This is why I pay for TH-cam premium over netflix now. What extraordinary content, and what a pro 🤯🤝
Thanks so much! It's great to share these experiences! 😎🚁
I don't even like helicopters, but I couldn't stop watching.

Footage, perfect frame-rate, 360-panning... not to mention the perfect flying. Richard, soon you'll be the most watched pilot-blogger on the planet.

Excellent flying! Thanks for taking us along.
Anytime! 😎🚁
🇮🇪 brilliant video sharing very good helicopter 🚁 flying and amazing scenery on the helicopter 🚁
The non-chalant Flex of Mr Richard heading out for a casual drive in the ol' backyard EC155 to Silverstone 😅
Cheers for the video 👍
That departure was impressive to see. Always looking forward to your videos Richard.
It was incredible to sit there and watch it unfold! Thanks so much, more to come! 😎🚁
I love how the blade RPM and frame rate match up to give us the image of the blade in flight like it's stopped....great view of the amazing mechanical wonder of high performance helicopters.
I could have watched this continue for hours, great video Richard,
Thanks so much Josh! It's a pleasure to share these ones! 😎🚁
Genuinely the best helicopter video I’ve watched!! Please do more!!!
Thanks so much! Will do! 😎🚁
Very cool piloting....head up, looking out all the time...Impressive video.
Most impressive.. Still can’t help but feel your extremely vulnerable in a helicopter. Only one way down! Full respect to all pilots 👊
Honestly I feel more comfortable in a helicopter (still where most my experience is!). If there is a problem, you can slow it down and sort it out..... or just land! 😎🚁
@@richardtyrerI used to think the same until I read about auto-rotation!
Same low key. Esp after the Kobe incident. And then the Marines helicopter a few weeks ago 😬
@@hangandrew so true.. both appear to have been at night, in low visibility, and mountainous terrain. A challenge for even the most experienced pilots. Any 2 of those and I'd rather sit it out, than get on a GA flight...
Awesome video! You're so smooth! Well done!
Thanks so much! It's great to share 😎🚁
that was super satisfying. crazy how smooth this helicopter flies and how hands off you are. pretty wild.
The ending was the best. That was wicked badass.
Everytime I watch a helicopter video I am reminded of the Summer of 76 which I spent flying all over the UK loading people for 90 second pleasure flights at big shows. Much of the time I was piloted by the late, great Dick Meston #goodolddays

Appreciate you sharing your moment with us you make it look effortless hat off to ya
stunning video, incredibly smooth flying and radio comms, could watch you fly all day
Great video, that formation departure was really cool!
Thanks so much! It was really cool from where I was sitting! 😎🚁
Excellent video! Very impressive skills!
So so envious. The multiple take offs was the best I have seen.
just brilliant
It was really special from where I was sitting! For once I was glad to be at the back of the queue! 😎🚁
From a controller at Miami Center in the states, that man was top-notch!
Thanks so much! Happy vectoring!
An aerial ballet. That was fun to watch. Thanks.
So far, we've seen you fly the DA42, a TBM940, a Phenom 300, and now a EC155. 😃 And I'm now starting to ask myself : (Is there anything that man CAN'T fly??)Oo. 🤔😳😉👍
If it flies, I'll take it! 😁
which ratings do you have?@@richardtyrer
Michael de Santa IRL
Ye it's very impressive, cool to see you fly at my local airport EGTB as well. I did work experience at Heli Air, I'm a software engineer now though.
I'm wondering if there's anything he's not rated on! :p

Fixed wing private pilot here - no idea what happened in this video!
Departure hover competition for steadiness. I enjoyed that, thanks.
Loved the video. I’ve had the opportunity to be in the back seats, flying in and out of the Silverstone GP, and it was a truly amazing experience. I was in awe of the choreography of the pilots coming into, and leaving the helipads. To see it from the front seats 👌

An epic for aspiring Helicopter preneurs.
Just echo the comments of others. Very cool video and loved the departure choregraphy. Also love the autopilot on that helo you were flying. They have got so incredibly advanced.
Thanks so much! The autopilot on this is great, but believe it or not it's an old system. You should see the tricks that the new ones can do! 😎🚁
That was sooooo smooth. Well done!
Thanks so much! 😎🚁
Mister Tyrer whe need more of this. im loving this
Thanks so much! More to come! 😎🚁
Love your videos Richard! One of the best heli videos I’ve watched
Thanks so much Harry! 😎🚁
I flew into Silverstone for F1 about 10 years ago was very fun
It's an epic experience. A bucket list for aviation! 😎🚁
Very cool insight into operations - thanks for sharing.
Anytime! 😎🚁
Another great video, and again, very informative throughout the entire flight. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks so much! Next one in the pipeline! 😁👍
One of the best heli vids I've seen.
An all-around beautiful flight!
Thanks so much! 😎🚁
Good to see you back with us
Good to be back! 😎🚁
So good to have you back - Amazing vid!!!!!!
Thanks so much! It's good to be back! 😎🚁
Wow - what a sight, cool post Richard!
It's great to share! 😎🚁
This was awesome! I am yet to do my first lesson in a Cabri G2 but I love this stuff! Bravo 👏🏼
Now that's the way to go to the track! Fun video, well done.
Definitely worth the eight month wait! Thanks for sharing!

Welcome back, your hibernation is over...another superb video... many thanks
It was about time! Thanks so much! 😎👍
Great video and very professional conduct by all involved. Will subscribe now!
Thanks so much! The whole Silverstone team work really hard and it runs really well! 😎🚁
That departure in sequence was epic and even our boy Richy T here had to call that out 😎
It was pretty special to watch! For once I was happy to be at the back of the queue! 😎🚁
Always a pleasure to fly with you Richard , Another great video very interesting thank you .
Anytime! Thank you so much! 😎🚁
Loved the video, and well done to the controller
Hi Richard glad to see you back always enjoy your videos look forward to your next one. Paul on Kent
Thanks so much Paul! Promise it won't be as long for the next one! 😎👍
really freaking cool, thanks for uploading!!

Excellent video thankyou for sharing it!
Thanks! Anytime 😎🚁
Love the turning cam.
It's a GoPro Max, I have used it for a while, but I think other companies have better models out now! 😎🚁
that staggered takeoff was so sick! never seen that before

Aberdeen is really busy for heli ops (I used to be based there), but on race day Silverstone really trumps it!
@@richardtyrer Also the same as Aberdeen Airport , it is a former RAF Base..
Glad you're back!
Good to be back! 😎
fantastic how you are so calm mate, super impressive , very talented man you be
Interesting vid. Having a helipad in your garden for pickups is a flex.
It's only right if you have a helicopter! Unfortunately neither the helicopter or helipad are mine! 😎🚁
@@richardtyrer lol one day mate.. dont worry
What a fascinating video! Thanks for making it! Very interesting to see how the controller handled the departures 👏🏻
The guys in ATC are on the top of their game here! It was a pleasure to be a part of! 😎🚁
Nice Helicopter Flying
Thanks 😎👍
Fantastic Dauphin pilot there!
Thanks so much! It's an awesome bit of kit to fly! 😎🚁

Fabulous as always Richard
Thanks so much! Sorry it’s been a while! 😎🚁
@@richardtyrer it has been a while, not sure which I prefer the most helicopters or your plane ✈️
That is a one cool departure...ATC obviously, rightly, stressed out.
The ATC at these events are at the top of their game! Real pleasure to work alongside! 😎🚁
This was fascinating. Thanks for sharing. I miss flying.
Amazing video, tower missed 10 next to you when giving the take of order but corrected it before anyone started moving
Ah! I was wondering when someone was going to spot that! Yes they did, credit to the guys for keeping it that controlled when so busy tho! 😎🚁
Awesome stuff to watch !
Epic. Thanks so much! 😎🚁
Great video.. Closest I can come to this was doing RRR at Turweston a few years back for the F1 weekend.
Great video again Richard, thank you.
Thanks so much! 😎👍
Impressive…..very impressive, so calm and collected…..👍👌🇮🇲
Golfed a round on the Friday, did a lap in a Heli from here on Saturday, Race Sunday. camped Thursday - Monday. Just epic weekend!
Phenomenal work by yourself and the controller, and great content, love it. Quick question if that okay, how are the callsigns allocated?
Impressive operation!
They are super slick! 😎🚁
Unreal video tbf Richard! A real look into a world most of us don't get to see!! Stuff like these keeps me motivated during the ATPL theory hell... Remember? xD
Thanks! It's great to share! Good luck with the theory...... It all gets better once it's done! 😎🚁
Fantastic video Richard👏
Thanks Keith! More to come! 😎🚁
@richardtyrer Excellent, great camera set up in the 155 plus the commentary is fantastic. Very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one👍
would love to see more videos like this,
This is awesome. Watched some of @HeavyDSparks Dauphin and Blackhawk videos and TH-cam suggested your video. More of the EC155 please!
Cracking video, really entertaining. Your co-Pilot sounded like she was singing her replies. Very good 👍
You live the absolute dream 💪 Inspiring stuff!
Thanks! It's hectic but really good fun! 😎🚁
Great Video Bud ❤️❤️Looks fantastic being dropped off in Helicopter 👍👍
Thanks so much! 😎🚁
