Wow, that did NOT seem like 16 minutes. I was engrossed the entire time and was surprised when it was over. I always dreamed of being a pilot but health concerns have now forever preventing me ever passing the medical. Thank you for these vids.
Thanks for the videos. I'm almost 70 yrs. old and have been fascinated by helicopters since the TV show whirlybirds was on in the 60's. During my Vietnam tour I was in the 101st Abn. Div. and flew on a semi regular basis on all types of birds. Was also in an Army Nat. Guard helicopter maintenance unit in MI. for a while. I miss the actual flying in them so your videos really help to satisfy that. I think alot of your subscribers would like to know how you became involved in rotary aviation
She does a great job explaining much of the technicalities of aviation. Just like in any career field, they have their own language. I really enjoy her videos. CAVU.
This one might have been my favorite. Had I seen this 40 years ago, I might have gone rotary wing. I understand how working an aircraft can get tiring and boring. I towed banners in Ocean City, MD two seasons. Eight somethings nine hours in the saddle can get rough. Happy landings.
Great camera angles. High resolution. Very informative and no BS. Please keep in the helicopter sound. I think 25% is perfect. Enough to know it is there but not loud enough to distract from your talking. It's like being on a helicopter tour. Love your videos.
New subscriber, Maria! Thank you for taking me on these rides, explaining the controls, the ins & outs of drying cherry trees. I absolutely love your videos. Keep them coming. Someday I would like to come up from my home in Oklahoma and ride.
Watching your dog there as he was watching your approach. It looked like he recognize that yard and was getting excited about running around there. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. It doesn’t look like the height bothers him at all. Nice flight, looking forward to seeing more.
Very cool. I stayed in the red apple motel in Tonasket over night, last summer. Did some laundry the next morning, talked to a retired man, and an officer was interested in my bike. Him and his wife recently moved there and bought two bikes that were similar. From last years trip I realized how far I can travel in 4 days, so your videos are giving me all sorts of ideas for future adventures. 😉
Hi, I'm Bengt S from Norway and I enjoy your flights in your home area. I follow the map on Google Earth so I learn the area. I coundn't find Crescent Bar on the map so I had to follow your flight along Colombia River. Now I have pinned the place (hehe) so its easy to get back to you. I love your videos. Your dog seem to be a good quiet "co-pilot". Take care
Beautiful. I could see the A-10s in the reflection, that must have been a bit unnerving! Love the tour and history lesson you provided on the flight. Great video!
I ALWAYS love your flight videos!!! Please keep them going, would love to have a lady like you for myself that loves helicopters and flying as much as I do! Best of both worlds :D
I could watch u fly all days. 😁 The area you live in is gorgeous. I'm a student pilot working on getting my private license in fixed-wing but helicopters just looks so much fun. One day I wish to own a little piece one land with a helipad. Keep it up, love it
LOVE the cockpit camera looking back at you! Gives us a lot more perspective during the flight. LOVE these scenic flights! You are doing what I always aspired to - lucky lady!
Thanks for another delightful video and the soothing, informative narration. You’re a terrific pilot and tour guide. Loved seeing your cute pal at your side. I’m fixed-wing but would still love to fly choppers! Maybe one day ... 😃👍🚁
Up at 3 AM and found your video. Thank you for the nice tour, it was relaxing. I was an Army crew chief on Black Hawks in the 80's, sure miss flying. I envy you having your rotary license. I had the good fortune to get an hour of stick time in an MD500, one of my favorite helos. Be safe, stay within the envelope, always follow procedures.
For the first time I'm watching, and I will undoubtedly subscribe. A very beautiful place, and calm way you talk, and the information you pass on who is watching. GOD BLESS YOU. from England
That was a blast just to watch! Thanks for bringing us along with you. WA looks a lot like NM except you have water, that's just so cool. And your co pilot is a champ! :)
Thanks for the video. Entertaining as usual. My experience in helicopters comes as a Huey crew chief/door gunner back in the '70's. Keep the videos coming. Enjoy them.
Wow, the reflection off the river was tremendous. The clouds, then that mountain peak, and I think we glimpsed the A-10s also. Thanks for the tour. This is not the first of your videos that I have seen, but this one got me to subscribe.
I re-watched the video this morning and was blown away by those reflections. I'll watch it on my HD TV later. I might start recording in 4K video, at least out the front-facing camera.
Great video and very nice scenery ........ please put up your drone flying as well as those places look nice..... greetings from down under....... stay safe.
VERY interesting vid. Sincere thanks. Quite a surprise when the A10s flew past. You could see the reflections of their aircraft on the river for a few seconds, after you mentioned them. Were you trying to reach them on Guard?(answered) Because of the media, the impression we Europeans have to some extent, of Washington state, is that it's very green, from frequent rain. So, it's great to see another aspect to the state. The commentary added great value. Much appreciated. Your landing routine is very interesting and makes perfect sense. Thanks again. Michael in Bushmills :)
Nice video. Thanks for the ride. Just subscribed. Seeing the terrain from the air was cool, having traveled through the area by car and train. I hope you can fly over the flood ripples of West Bar---they are impressive on foot.
Thanks. A flight like that would be good early or late in the day when shadows make those ripples really stand out. Maybe later in the year, when the elk are back. I’ll put it on my list.
Just stumbled across your videos. I live in Tri-Cities and enjoy driving up through that area along the Columbia. Many years ago I worked at Wanapum and Priest Rapids dams and several times a week Navy jets from Whidbey Island would come screaming down the river, back then they flew A6 Intruders and EA6B Prowlers but those have been retired and replaced with a variant of the F18 for doing electronic warfare - called the EA-18 Growler. A10s are Air Force jets but they are frequently seen at the Yakima firing range. Anyway, enjoyed this video and seeing the river and cliffs from the air.
Wow, that did NOT seem like 16 minutes. I was engrossed the entire time and was surprised when it was over. I always dreamed of being a pilot but health concerns have now forever preventing me ever passing the medical. Thank you for these vids.
Yep, when she landed i was wondering what the other 10 minutes would show and was totally surprised that already 15 minutes had passed. :)
probably the best helicopter flying videos on YT :D thanks a lot!
I love your videos. That’s so cool you take your dog flying.
Nothing like a cup of coffee and an awesome helicopter flight to start the day.
haha im new here and thats what im doing
Remarkably well behaved doggie there, and an extremely pleasant to watch flight. Really appreciate the video so please don't stop ☺️☺️
She's been flying since she was 5 months old. Her first flight was a 90 ride from Wenatchee to Hillsboro, OR. th-cam.com/video/hnIbY2y69Ug/w-d-xo.html
Awesome flying! Thanks for showing us another day as a helo driver. Loved the A-10s!
Fun flight, almost like being there. Penny is a great copilot.
Beautiful. You're getting very good at the camera placements and narration.
Saw the a-10 reflection!! Way too cool. Love your content. I’m an air traffic controller at MIA TRACON. Love aviation content. Keep it up!
Your dog is so calm in that cockpit, great little copilot! Those A-10s buzzing you was pretty awesome too. Great video!
That was a nice ride, thank you from Niagara Falls.!
such a good doggo... what a lovely flight :)

I remember that TV show!
Thanks again for the fine videos!
Very enjoyable flight! Thank you for the landing briefing, rotary wing operation is a whole different world!
Ms. Mary, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Great commentary, super scenery, beautiful landing. Thanks. Oh yeah, cute pooch too.
Thank you for letting us share a nice day and a smooth ride down the Columbia with you two.
I only just realised the little dog chilling in the seat 😁 so cool.!
She does a great job explaining much of the technicalities of aviation. Just like in any career field, they have their own language. I really enjoy her videos. CAVU.
Maria, that was a very nice, relaxing, enjoyable flight. I also chuckled at your video description :) Happy flying!
My dreams of becoming a heli pilot... for now I’ll live through you! Thank you for your channel and content!🙏
This one might have been my favorite. Had I seen this 40 years ago, I might have gone rotary wing. I understand how working an aircraft can get tiring and boring. I towed banners in Ocean City, MD two seasons. Eight somethings nine hours in the saddle can get rough. Happy landings.
I think this one is my current favorite, too. Thanks!
Love watching! Thank you! The Gorge, always wanted to see Dave Matthews Band there...what a beautiful part of the country!
In the first half circle at approach, the dog knows thats coming to a landing and it's so excited. :)) Thank you for this nice flight.
I could watch these videos all day.
I am Australian but used to live in Washington state for about four years, so enjoy seeing these videos as it reminds me of the area.
Great camera angles. High resolution. Very informative and no BS. Please keep in the helicopter sound. I think 25% is perfect. Enough to know it is there but not loud enough to distract from your talking. It's like being on a helicopter tour. Love your videos.
The sound is pretty constant through most of the video, but it’s nice to hear the blade slap when I decelerate and start making my turns for landing.
New subscriber, Maria! Thank you for taking me on these rides, explaining the controls, the ins & outs of drying cherry trees. I absolutely love your videos. Keep them coming. Someday I would like to come up from my home in Oklahoma and ride.
Love this! I grew up in the Chelan/Wenatchee area and used to dream about what it would look like from a helicopter.
Looks as beautiful as I imagined.
Relaxing watching you cruise around the skies. Thanks for sharing :)
Watching your dog there as he was watching your approach. It looked like he recognize that yard and was getting excited about running around there. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. It doesn’t look like the height bothers him at all. Nice flight, looking forward to seeing more.
She really likes running around orchards.
I love how your little dog is relaxing at the co-pilot seat.. He really seems to enjoy it.
Like i enjoy watching your videos!
Much love from germany!
Love it. What a view from a helicopter. For a fixed wing pilots this view is a luxury. And your dog, so calm and relaxed.
Hermoso paisaje...saludos desde Córdoba argentina

Very aesthetically pleasing flight (especially the cloud reflections) plus relaxing, informative commentary. Thank you.

Very CooL Mam. Nice and Smooth. Like how your Dog can sense a Landing coming up well before you land.
LOVE the cockpit camera looking back at you! Gives us a lot more perspective during the flight. LOVE these scenic flights! You are doing what I always aspired to - lucky lady!

Thanks for the ride and the informative tour! Just like sitting in the left seat.
Great flight Maria, thanks for sharing!..
Thank you. Fun to watch you fly by an orchard my grandfather manages and fly to an orchard I have visited. Keep up the great videos.

Out east in Ottawa Canada, watching your video while munching on a bag of Wenatchee cherries. Mmmm
I was just watching another of your cherry drying flights, and was wondering when you were going to post another video, when this one popped up. Nice!
Great video! And great camera angle, you can see so much! Love the dog too, I didn't even see her at first! She looks so chilled haha.
Nice video. You passed right over a gravel pit there in Malaga I crushed rock in back in 1984. Thanks for the share.
I loved flying in a helicopter! Versatile piece of equipment lot of fun. 💙
Wow... gorgeous day to fly! Thanks for sharing!
For the first time I'm watching, and I will undoubtedly subscribe. A very beautiful place, and calm way you talk, and the information you pass on who is watching. GOD BLESS YOU. from England
Thank you for posting me and my wife are shopping in the area to buy and this type of view and history of the area was super helpful.
Beautiful flight!! The scenery is awesome! Thank you 👏♥️
That was a blast just to watch! Thanks for bringing us along with you. WA looks a lot like NM except you have water, that's just so cool. And your co pilot is a champ! :)

Very cool to see the general area my grandfather was from. Nice narration!

Jerry Carroll Jerry- Tks for your service!
It seems I am at the control and flying over the pretty river there. Nice video and good explanation.
Most informative. Thank you. I really enjoyed travelling with you. :)
Greeting from a RC helipilot from near to Malaga, Spain ☺️ I just discovered your channel, great videos 👍
COOL! Great Tour and piloting.
Your little dog was the best part of this video! (You're great too! Don't get me wrong!)
Thanks as that was a very enjoyable scenic flight. Helicopters are so cool.
Good flying, clean clear video, a pleasure to watch. I find US terrain interesting and very different from OZ where I live.
I just love seeing your videos. Awesome. Been to Washington couple of times, Richland area (PNNL) for work loved it.
fantastic video love your little Dogie
I like to watch your videos,it’s great to see you just flying down the river,It would be a dream for me to be able to do that.🥳🏴
Very beautifull trip, thanks for showing.
Thank you for tour of area.!👽😎
Great view of the river and its surroundings. Interesting to say the least. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, the reflection off the river was tremendous. The clouds, then that mountain peak, and I think we glimpsed the A-10s also. Thanks for the tour. This is not the first of your videos that I have seen, but this one got me to subscribe.

Yeah, I did watch it on my TV, by the way.
just found your channel on my feed.. Thank you for sharing .
A friend has a R44 beach side in FL and can become somewhat monotonous scenery ,what great terrain
On Google maps, I retraced your flying to where you started, and your helicopter is visible there. Pretty cool!
Amazing videos , thank you for letting us fly with you. 👍👍👍👌👌👌
Nice to see some local landscape I'm familiar with and someone local making it 👍
Nice fligth and nice dog :)
HA! I didn't notice your 'co-pilot' there until about 1:59...that is one cool customer. :=)
Excellent enjoyed the dog flying with you 😀 x
Would love to have a flight with you 😊 great chopper! Great pilot!

Daniel Miller • Aww so do i!
You definitely need a fury one when riding the copter!

wow.....simply amazing! Love your vids vary relaxing with a morning cup of joe! :)
I enjoyed that your “ride” Maria.😄
i love this videos! this is right in my back yard
15:00 So funny that Penny knows you're going to land!
