This is definitely the very best video for potential buyers of a Bell 505 it covers more valuable information than all of the others Bell videos that have come before it combined.
This is the kind of videos that Bell needs to do for there company videos.
I would of liked to see him do some long line loads with it and see his reaction to operating the 505.
Learning about the equipment (505) in comparison to R44 and R66 from an actual operator of those types is extremely valuable and helpful.
This video made for a very good endorsement of the 505.
Now if only Bell made 505’s in the USA in Texas.
Very good video, thanks to everyone involved.
Thanks so much!

You guys are more than welcome, my wife and I have been watching a bunch of your older videos now too,
White out of place rock,
Other helicopters videos,
Shooting from the air
Fire fighting with a water bucket
Weed killer bucket
And so one
Horse shoeing,
Ranch work stuff,
Before your video with the 505, We had never heard of you and your ranch.
I’m very glad to see that you are able to make a profit with your helicopter skills and run a successful ranch.
I’ve been a big time gun guy and collector since I was a kid.
I shot a pellet pistol at 3 years old that I still remember because I put a dent in the door of my dads Stutabaker truck.
I started working at my dads full service gas station when I was four in 1970.
My dad drove me my mom and brother to The Chino Airport and I got to see a P-51D Mustang flying for the first time and I’ve been into flying ever since, but I’ve only ever gotten to fly a couple of hours in high school in 1984.
I started shooting guns all of time when I was five.
I started turning wrenches as a mechanic when I was seven in 1973.
And that’s when I bought my first real gun, a 1903A3 with a 7 of 44 barrel, and I’ve been collecting ever since so shooting from a helicopter always looks like a lot of fun.
I let Bell know about your video on the 505 and told them that they need to make more like yours.
Take care and good luck with everything that you guys decide to do.
Thanks again for your time.
Man Jason ive missed your videos so happy you uploaded. I'll comment again after I watch.
Thank you!
Great video! Very informative and just overall great videography!!
That was an excellent enjoyable video best one I've seen on the 505 I'm never going to buy an r66 now
Thanks!!
Miss seeing this channel every week but I also understand. Kickass video, yank it like u stole it😁😜😂
It was awesome!
Voldemort at it again! I will never get used to this fugly thing. A relief is the mentioning of the competition with the R66: It is not supposed to be a better Jetranger. It's just to take a cut from Robinson. Good explanation for this missing nose and the after-thought horizontal stabilizer.
So I saw the title of this video and I thought I wouldn’t be interested LOL 😂 That was awesome!!! If nothing else it was fun to see 3 guys in love with a new helicopter!! ♥️♥️😄
Thanks for watching!
Well your just going to leave us hanging… to buy or not to buy!!!! Lol
It’s a cool helicopter!
I have a lot of time in the Jet/Long Ranger series and 407, but that looks SWEET!! Gotta go buy another lottery ticket.
Yes!! 🤞🏻
This man is living the life! Uh-60 pilot here… will come work for you! Haha.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
That was fun and I didn’t even get to fly.
Thanks for watching!
Annoying as hell! Specially that fake laugh!
Yup....she sure is pretty! Seems she's checkin' a lot of boxes for you as well. Not sure why you titled this 'demo' flight though, sounds to me more like 'sales flight' lol!! SOLD!!
Pretty exciting stuff to hear a sneak peek about the cedar pellets! I knew it'd be useful as hell! As a huge fan of the green and that in which it lives, I can really get behind and appreciate the ability to target a specific tree rather than 'area' around a tree to dose. It's nice to think that which the cedar is killing or going to kill will have a fighting chance to come back and thrive once the cedar is gone, rather than a whole area have to struggle to recover and hopefully take back it's place before something else settles in. I pray you never have to deal with Scotch Broom.
Vegas, eh? My old stomping ground. Mom moved us there when I was 16 and I came to full adulthood, there...what a place to live. A Universe unto itself, it spoiled me for the longest time it was so unique and Wild West, made it hard to spend more than 2 weeks anywhere else on vacay, I just wanted to go home most of the time. People are weird outside of Vegas LOL!
You'll do well there to branch out Rotor Recoil. It's what we used to do growing up minus the copter LOL! Go out to the desert and shoot, hoping you don't' stumble across any bodies. Yeah...it's still Vegas haha. A lot of people just see the lights and glitzy machines without realizing that Vegas is Cowboy Country through and through and until recently has been a huge 2A state. Too bad about those derned politicians though...
Note to tourists: All those lights and glitz are just to distract you and pull you in the door so we can take your money to keep cowboying. Full Stop.
Loved the video, was fun to tag along, Jason!! Looking forward to our first flight on the ranch!! Sounds to me like you may have 2 new customers wanting to give the range a go LOL!!
See you next time, cowboy.
That sounds awesome! Thank you!
Oh gosh my friend you’ve been missed!! A very nice looking helicopter!
Thank You for letting us tag along with you today!!
Thanks for watching!
Can I come catch some of those big ol bass?
U gotta by this chopper n sold that crapy Robinson,man I hate Robinson especially the stick😬
Jason, I think you need to tell Santa 🎅 you want your Christmas present in July !!!🎁🚁🎄🚁 Just say'in !😉
Ill put it on my list!
@@themendotaranch Expanding Rotor Recoil to Las Vegas is a fantastic idea ! Definitely would be an♠️ in the hole for your company !!! Best of luck to you on all your new adventures.🍀 Your process of eliminating the cedar trees is just absolutely awesome ! 👍
No idea why I watched this, but I love watching experts who are passionate!
Thanks for watching!
Agree with others, glad you posted! Very interesting. Beautiful bird and you seemed to be in your element. Keep them coming and we'll keep watching.
Thank you!
Always perfectly pressed, spotless and always bragging.
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Where is the ranch? Website,?
Thank you for sharing .
Texas panhandle. We are working on website. Thanks for watching!
Hello from W.Va.!! Glad to see ya back. My dad retired from National Guard Medi-Vac. Loved flying. You've been missed. Thanks for video
Thanks for watching!
Great to see another video, Jason. That helicopter is a beauty. Perhaps you will have one of your own soon. I hope so.
Super nice!
Thanks for the video that is one nice bird did I hear the word fleet in the conversation
Thanks for watching! That would be so cool to have a fleet of them!
Fun and interesting video. I done care what it is but it’s always fun to listen to knowledge fun people talk about things they are interested it! Seems like a fun bird.
It was fun to fly!
It's a seriously super impressive machine, just a pity its ugly AF though
SWEET. Rotor Recoil likes the 505X a bunch. We do too. Thanks for sharing.
It was cool to fly!
😅😅😮😊
It looks like you never got the 505x or is one on order? I can’t believe you could go back and enjoy the R44 after flying this.
Ugly helicopter. Awesome video. Good job.
I'll have 2 please
So nice!
G’day Jason Bonnie Team & Co ;-) Congratulations so exciting what colour did we get?
Looking forward to seeing more super interesting content just like this one, informative educational and fun.
Also a video of Jason flying solo testing it to its limits.
What are we going to call it?
A/C, soft seats, and video games, all you need is a mini-fridge and some snacks…Oh yes an AMMO sponsor too!
With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xox
Sounds great!! Thanks for watching!
I know nothing about helicopters but I enjoyed this video immensely!!!
Thanks so much!
@10:00 I heard a train in the background. Our railway tracks and rail infrastructure have mostly been stolen in South Africa. You lucky first worlders....
That’s crazy!
Flew its great granddaddy in combat as an Army scout pilot. 317 SHP that couldn’t keep out of the yellow. In VN always in yellow temp at a hover or in low speed tree top flight. Never had to look at torque gauge. But, it could autorotate like no other helicopter I have flown. Granted, my experience is half a century ago. Always asked to compare it to the Hughes 500. This thing has great performance features and modern glass cockpit features and air conditioning. But, all that to the good, it misses something in eye appeal.
That’s awesome! Thank you! I like it!
Very very poor content ! Click bait bullshit !
The Garmin instruction should have been given mostly on the ground. At low level, eyes should be outside.
Another great video, a little bit too advance for me but nevertheless interesting to listen 👍❤️🇨🇦
Jason this video is probably my favorite! I worked for Bell for over 20 years as a sub contractor in the overhead crane industry at all there plants so i have a lot of pride and respect for Bell, I am sure Robinson is great to but that just brought back such great memories from my past!
Just wright the check! LOL
Thank you! Glad you liked it! That means a lot!
...too many ramshackle sneers ! ...pity...
Sweet ride. Was so happy to see a new video. I know something that would interest folks and that's how you train your horses.
Thank you!
Like your videos [for the helicopter content] ,just curious,did or would you buy a 505? and what are your thoughts on a jetranger [206]? thx,keep up the good work.
@@jimsmith3887 I’m out on the 206. The 505 was nice and the open cab is awesome but for the cost to buy and maintain I’m out.
Nice to see u back friend!!!
This review had some truly tasty tidbits of info which I haven't seen in other 505 videos. One question. You mentioned that the MD530 was really expensive to operate. Could you speak a little more on this subject? Was it mostly the fuel burn of the 250- C30 turbine or maybe time limits on critical/expensive components? I have foolishly believed that the unique rotor head straps, the simple transmission and lack of hydraulics on the main rotor would bring cost savings. Thanks for sharing any insight on this matter!
Fuel burn is about the same, but the maintenance is so expensive on old technology. I still love it. Cool ain’t cheap. 😂
@@themendotaranch That’s good to know and brings a valuable perspective to anyone looking to purchase a helicopter. Cheers
Great to see you back with another video. Looks like that chopper is right up your alley for all that you do.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video! I have to watch it many times, it is difficult to me to follow your comments ... (due to my poor english ... 😂)
Maybe it’s to much Texas
Why are they eliminating the cedar tree?
They are an invasive tree that drinks 20-30 gallons of water a day.
Those are some boys I'd like to go have a beer with.
Двухлопастная машина опасна.
7 year tribulation starts September 2022
I had no idea that the 505 was competition for the R 66. I was thinking that the Bell 206 just evolved and up graded. I did not know that the 206 was no longer in demand, people not buying it any longer. Once again the government is causing the price of things to exceed the market. That is too bad :(
Well now you know.
i looked at robinson, they are ugly, main shaft is tootall. i took delivery of my 2024 505 i call her gertrude. came white but it is now candy blue with ghost flames too me it is a helistreet rod , simple to fly cheaper than my old jet ranger. engine also lasts longer in the 505. i love it. just wish the front glass had more shading but i am sure i will get used to it. i take it grocery shopping in it. i do love it. i also love that glass panel with taws and the simple way to start it. the auto pilot is pretty cool i ordered it loaded as far as avionics, the a/c blows cold. a lot better than the 206
I’m Jealous
I need to start a business, so i can buy a 505.
A cool helicopter!
very best video... if it was in focus!
Jason you are a man of many talents, LOVE your channel keep them coming
Thanks for watching!
My Uncle is into helicopters and he always love Bell products. He's getting used to the 505 design. It looks better than the European helicopters. The Robinsons are okay but he doesn't trust their safety record. He never like Eurocopter ( now Airbus Helicopters). The local police department has an AStar and it was sitting on the ground and the tail section fell off. Hospital Wing had on on a call to Oxford Mississippi and it was sitting on the parking lot waiting for a patient and it's tail section fell off.
That’s crazy on the A star.
Seems a turbomecca powerplant.
Bell 505, one of the most ugly helicopters in human history
It will grow on you. I like it.
@The Mendota Ranch
Very nice!!
Wondering, why do you want to kill cedar trees?
They are an invasive tree that drinks 20-30 gallons of water a day.
I'm a Helicopter Mechanic and this video was AWESOME!! If you're ever in Arizona let me know! Keep up the GREAT work! You have a new subscriber!👍👍
Thanks so much! I will! You never know!
@@themendotaranch Let me know how to get in touch with ya via email or something!
awesome demo
Thank you!
What a fun vid to watch. That was awesome seeing your train of thought about the operation of 505. I'm your lifelong fan!!!
Thanks for watching!
lol great video
U might as well write the check Jason!! U are way 2 giddy about this 1!!!
A cool helicopter!
19:18 Thats why we always called her "Bitchin' Betty"
😂 that’s my new saying!
The old Design was way better. This looks like a big blackfly
I like it!
It has the crash seat of a Eurocopter. The only interesting on helix is the payload and speed.
What else do you want?
I want one!
Me, too!
Jase, if you're doin shootin and want a highly responsive aircraft, then there's only one helicopter for you .. the Hughes 500.
He was saying in the video that he had a MD 500 and sold it. Said that the operating cost was too high for the old technology.
Had one and loved it!
Yes!
DAMN VERY NICE
Yes!
Beautifull craft. Prefer MD-500
Me too
Great video Jason
Thanks for watching!
Sweet
Thanks!
The 505 is a beautiful helicopter. Nice interview. Thanks for sharing.
Good Heli stuff concerned greatly about wanting to destroy all these trees. Now if he was planting a shed load this would be a good video.
Superb flying kind regards to you Mark from the U.K. 🇬🇧
Salesman is pretty knowledgeable!
He is!
Air Conditioner 👍🇺🇸 Real nice engine choice 👍
Yes!
Awesome, love the video, give us more !
Thanks!
You gonna get one ? 😄
Nice ride. You need one.
I do!
@@themendotaranch did you order one?
I like hearing real, practical people. Good times
Thanks!
do it Jason.. JUST DO IT!!!
So nice!
So did he buy one?
No. I sure want too
Missed ya! Buy that thing.
Super nice!
This vid is just CLASSIC. The banter and humor is just a beaut. And that guy is a slice of Texas Can Do!
Did the ranch get the bird?
No. I’m staying with the R44 for now but maybe something soon
Nice, Like the plan.
Thanks!
Fun little help to fly.
It was!
If I wasn’t already in love with the 505 I’m even more now! Just need to make enough $ to get me one of those asap!
Me too
Excellent video!!!
Thank you!
So did you purchase a 505? Any delivery updates?
I haven’t!
ugliest heli ever.
I like it!
I like it!
👍👍
Thank you!
Magnífico 👏 👏
Really cool flight and laughed at your conversation. Good luck with your new inventions!
Cool video😎
