Thank you Helix for all the time and money you've invested in this beautiful machine, so looking forward to seeing " Wolfie" in the air. The triple 2 is a one of a kind helicopter.
Many of us Airwolf fans would be grateful for a video from the perspective of an actual aviation specialist such as yourself to give us a detailed analysis of the specific mods to the standard issue 222a, as well as how impractical a real-life Airwolf would be. (At least in terms of aeronautics: speed, maneuverability, ceiling, dis-engaging the rotors, etc.) What would it take for you to convert your 222a into a screen-accurate Airwolf? Can't wait to hear it coming online and taking flight!
that is a very complex set of questions it would take a long time to explain maybe one day we can do some videos on it. thank you for watching the videos
Thanks for the video, Gary. Liked and subscribed. I'm a retired USAF guy, but anything that flies has always been a fascination to me since childhood. I didn't have rock band posters on my wall as a kid, instead, my walls were covered in jets and helicopters. I was a fan of Airwolf from the beginning to the end. This video was very well done and you're well spoken and knowledgeable on the subject matter. I look forward to watching all of your videos. Cheers.
I have three questions. One: Have you ever played the Airwolf theme while flying this beauty? Two: How does she handle? Three: How does it feel to fly a legend? Great video's, keep up the good work!
Wow, absolutely LOVE this. So much close up view of a 222, and excellent explanation of what you do. Awesome! Thank you so much for the effort of making these vids and sharing them! The 222 is without a doubt the best looking helicopter of all time, specially as Airwolf, and I can't imagine that will ever be beaten by another design. I haven't seen a nice closeup of the rotor head like this and it's huge indeed. Awesome engineering!
Thanks for taking the time to make this series on the 222. Just a technical question, im wondered how did Bell implement vibration reduction. There was a system i think called Nordamatic , maybe spelt wrong. Just curious how that works and where on the copter the vibration is reduced.
Don't just look, Grab and feel for loose items. There was an HEMS 222 that was almost lost with a loose servo pack. It looped rolled uncommanded only when the pilot rolled of the throttles off on the bottom of its last loop did it land on a roof of a building. Crew and all walked away.
Wow, what an iconic aircraft. Thank you for this! I can imagine Dom in the lair doing the preflight checks. Hopefully one of the studios make a new series or movie. Who would you choose to play Stringfellow Halke?
As an aircraft engineer your walk around inspection was rather good to watch. Certainly a lot to look for with an aging helicopter. (Only worked on helicopters very early in my career but now on large pax aircraft) How difficult is it to find parts for the 222 now it's getting on in years. Does Bell still support them well?
Great video, some things you forgot do to though :): you didn't check the turbo's, and you have to fill up the chainguns, missiles and more importantly the sunburst ;)
Thanks again for such a great video and i am sure if you could change her more into Airwolf and would take your business into another level. Then a Huey Vietnam version (Tour of Duty) Then a Magnum Hughes 500 and so on. What a way to travel in your chosen TV icon Helicopter and maybe also get sponsors to do this as well. Maybe getting film work too. Tom Cruise next Stringfellow Hawke and a remake of Airwolf film fly's your Helicopter.
Hi! Thank you for everything! Would it is possible for you to tell us is the alarm tones are accurate in this video : th-cam.com/video/oTQCFlLpkAo/w-d-xo.html (at 50:20) If not, could it be possible to share with us a recording of the actual real tones/alarms and other anouciators (seat belts/no smoking lights). Thank you again for your great videos!
the real airwolf was a real 222b with a real pilot. after the series ended, she was taken out of her makeup and sold to an air ambulance service and crashed into the side of a small mountain during a storm over cologne germany.
Probably the most beautiful flying machine ever created, and still looks completely modern today! Must be a true honor to have one in your possession!
Couldn't agree more!
A design that is almost 50 years old but is still the most beautiful, especially Airwolf
Grew up watching Airwolf back in the day. What a gorgeous aircraft, can't wait to see the startup video.
glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Helix for all the time and money you've invested in this beautiful machine, so looking forward to seeing " Wolfie" in the air. The triple 2 is a one of a kind helicopter.
She is looking brand new. Thank you for keeping her in such a good condition!
Thank you for An educational tour of procedures for an awesome aircraft ❤😊
Always good to see Gary in front of the camera & behind the cyclic
Good Video! I Bet You Really Enjoy Being Able To Stand-by With The Lady!
It certainly is a substantial aircraft. Am looking forward to seeing if it fly's as good as it looks.
shes better
Beautiful aircraft! Those wide chord rotor blades produce a lot of lift for a teetering head rotor system.
Yes they do
Great video. Looking forward to start up, going to be a popular series. Cheers.
glad you enjoyed it

@@HelixAvBell thank YOU for sharing!
The music in the beginning just hypes up the 222 even more. Great video well done.
Very interesting, great video and a very natural presenter too!
Glad you enjoyed it!

The 222 is so iconic. Just discovered it myself. The countach car was on my wall , that and the pay catalina flying boat.
I have three questions.
One: Have you ever played the Airwolf theme while flying this beauty?
Two: How does she handle?
Three: How does it feel to fly a legend?
Great video's, keep up the good work!
one:not while we are flying
two: like she looks
three: like you think
I was looking forward to this. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Veri iconic helicopter, nice video
How much cost this "Lady" today?
Thank you sir for this very interesting video

This is so awesome, thank you :)
You're so welcome!
Great Video! and Great chapter mate, good job This wonderful video moved me a lot! 📺💻❤❤#623
Very informative.

Did you not do the startup video? Was looking forward to it 😊
Don't just look, Grab and feel for loose items. There was an HEMS 222 that was almost lost with a loose servo pack.
It looped rolled uncommanded only when the pilot rolled of the throttles off on the bottom of its last loop did it land on a roof of a building.
Crew and all walked away.
Holy crap , some new underpants needed after that.
Wow, what an iconic aircraft. Thank you for this! I can imagine Dom in the lair doing the preflight checks. Hopefully one of the studios make a new series or movie.
Who would you choose to play Stringfellow Halke?
Looks great
This is awesome! I would love to know how wide the main rotor is and how long?
main rotor blades are 28.6 inches wide and both blades and head are 39.75 feet
Also with the tail rotor blade
Are you going to add the official Airwolf modifications? My recollection is that the pilots reported that they made the helicopter fly even better.
wolfy will not be having any "airwolf mods" shes her own lady we love her the way she is.
I wanted to see the Hellfire & Copperhead missiles.
I wish i have someday ability fly this beauty even as passenger ❤

Doing a Pre-flight inspection on the "lady " Airwolf 😊❤👍
Can you estimate already when you are going to post the startup video? 😀
You promised you'd say something about the weather radar
dont worry we'll get to it
whers the start up video of the 222
Fly the machineeee
Where’s the startup video?
I've always wondered what just the shell would cost to let it sit out like I'm rich.
Bientôt.mon aec pilote puis a moi air Wolf 1 🚁🍀🌈

Shame the real air wolf was a radio controlled helicopter. would be good to see a full sized converted bell to air wolf.
the real airwolf was a real 222b with a real pilot. after the series ended, she was taken out of her makeup and sold to an air ambulance service and crashed into the side of a small mountain during a storm over cologne germany.
