- This chopper stations at Five Points in a small agricultural airfield with other ag aircrafts, owned by American Ag Aviation Inc.
The company has tonns of work, usually beause of the climate, pilots have to fly during the night aswell.
The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, nicknamed Huey, is a military helicopter powered by a single turboshaft engine, with two-blade main and tail rotors. The first member of the prolific Huey family, was developed by Bell Helicopter to meet a United States Army's 1952 requirement for a medical evacuation and utility helicopter. The type first flew in 1956.
The UH-1 was the first turbine-powered helicopter to enter production for the United States military, in 1960, and more than 16,000 have since been built.
Huge thanks for the opportunity to Steve Wilson!
Nem volt könnyű, több mint két és fél óra autókázás kellett hozzá, de az élmény mindenért kárpótolt.
A felvételen szereplő Bell UH-1, sok társához hasonlóan Vietnami veterán. A háború után került vissza az Egyesült Államokba, ahol permetezésre fogták.
Napjainkban egy kis mezőgazdasági repülőtéren állomásozik Five Points-tól nem messze. Tulajdonosa az American Ag Aviation Inc, mely kész mezőgazdasági légi jármű flottával rendelkezik. A cég rengeteg megrendelést kap, sokszor pilótáiknak éjszaka is repülniük kell.
A Bell UH-1 Iroquois egy amerikai fejlesztésű és gyártású többcélú katonai szállító helikopter, becenevén Huey.
Leginkább a vietnami háborúból ismert, mivel a típust széles körben alkalmazta az amerikai és a dél-vietnami hadsereg is.
Jellegzetes erős csattogó hangja a vietnami filmekből vált világhírűvé.
A lehetőségért hatalmas köszönet a pilótának, Steve Wilsonnak!
Steve Wilson, the pilot in this video, was killed last night (Feb 15, 2022) while spraying at Five Points, CA. After losing communications with Steve, his ground crew went looking for him and his Huey. They called in the local police and searched for a couple of hours in the dark. Steve's chopper went down in a pistachio grove. Steve Wilson was a hero in the California farmer's air force. He will be greatly missed.
Such an experienced pilot and good guy he will be missed
Did Steve crash in the helicopter in this video ?

so saddening to hear that. My condolences to the family.😢
This pilot is a smooth operator, the huey has always been my favorite helicopter since I first saw them flying around my island,the island of Guam back in the early 70's while the Vietnam war was going on when I was still a kid, and still is to this day, I just love the sound that the rotors make when they are in flight !!!
R.I.P. Steve Wilson, may you be blessed with calm winds and unlimited vis. 🕊🕊
Great video, I love hearing the sound of that Huey!
