I fly Sikorsky S-76 C++'s and AS350 AStar's in Brazil, but I also love the old birds. Though I have flow Bell 47's and Hughes 300's, I wish I had flow the S-55's and S-58's. Unfortunately there's none in Brazil anymore, but seeing you video made my dream come true. I could almost feel the sound, the smell, the vibration, the feeling of flying this classic chopper. Thank You very much sir!!!
An entertaining video, I felt as if I was flying the chopper myself. Must be hard work keeping old helicopters flying. Took me a while to work out what an S-55 is. Keep up the good work.
Looks like you were drying up near Okanagon and landing at Mons. Is that one of Fedarico’s old 55T’s. And what year was this. I flew 58’s just down the road at Brewster this year. Didn’t do much, hardly any rain.
Wow you guys have an S-55 or H-19 still flying in 2014 ! I thought that there was only one air worthy example still flying the one owned by Hale Gurland. Is this in Washington state and is this bird still flying in 2016 ?
Boone Jeffers, Where did you hear that there was only 1 flying example? There are tons of videos of H19/S55 on TH-cam at airshows and working around the world. I happened to have seen one in person at my job in 2006-07 installing an AC unit on the roof. It was amazing seeing it flying so close overhead, really interesting sounding engine for sure. Edit: Also, I am making a Korean War FPS video game which is a total conversion mod for the PC game Battlefield 2. You can actually fly this chopper in the game and we even have a field modified version with a m1919 .30 cal machine gun on a gunpole to turn the chopper into an early gunship. You can download my free mod here. Battlefield 2 is also 100% free now which I will also link below. www.moddb.com/mods/battlefield-korea www.battlelog.co

Nice old chika chika chika saw
Amazing video man!! nice sound liked
This video was in 2014, wonder how many of those S-55's are still flying.
I think about 9 up there in Washington .
@@Heli_Brandon yeah the one in the video was a turbine conversion but the one that landed beside him sounded like an original radial engine S-55
Awesome video Brandon! Wow, so many 55(T)s, where is this?
Can some one explain to me what they are doing here ? Are you using helicopters for crop spraying , please ?
Using the rotorwash produced by the rotorblades to dry the Cherries
Nice
you think it's good having fuel tankers so close to the LZ ?? Just asking !!

Its definitely an S55 helicopter but it sounds like it has a turbine engine conversion, thats not the way the old piston engine 55 sounds
