This brings back memories. I spent my first 2 summers out of high school running a nurse rig for a man who sprayed crops with a 47G-2A. That was 1980 & ‘81.
You will see this more often than you think when a helicopter is kitted out specifically for one job. The reason is that when you’re spraying, weight preference is biased towards the product and your flights are short, so you don’t need fuel range. Usable fuel will be around 24 gallons which is well over an hour, manoeuvering like that nonstop for an hour is very tiring, believe me! The left one is the one removed as it’s the one on the pilot’s side, for balance.
My first job was loading fuel & AG chemicals into a Rockwell Thrush Commander, and even w a 600 hp radial (T-6 engine), we had to choose either full fuel or 350 gallons in the hopper. Spray season was hot AF, so max weight was very critical. Bell 47 has much less hp to work with, so every pound they can shave off counts. Noticed it too & figured it might be a weight saver.

Excelente video de maniobras del helicóptero y excelente piloto.🚁🇲🇽
Love the thud thud sound of the rotor blades makes
Brilliant, great vid. The 47 is a great helicopter
Me encantan estos helicopteros.
Amazing, a dangerous job,maneuvering all the time ,come and go ,up and dawn is a risky business.
Barely ever leaves dead man’s curve
The engine sound is so distinct
Nice. The sound of peril in so many spy movies.
Nice job
Nice i would to get checked out in one maybe buy one
Muy buena performance del Bell aunque el Antonov lo supera con soltura , gracias x el video , saludos .
Antonov no creo kamov si pero da igual toda la razon
👍👍👍Very very Good !!
А мені цей вертоліт подобається, просто клас!
ഞാൻ എപ്പോഴും ഓർക്കാറുണ്ട് ഇ bell 47 ഹെലികോപ്ടർ ഞാൻ പഠിച്ച സ്കൂൾ ഡ്രിൽ ഗ്രൗഡിൽ പരത്തി ഇറക്കാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ എന്ത് രസമായിരിക്കും.
Good skills bro 👍
Bravo
Üdv!
Magyarországon már elfogytak a Kamovok? ☺
I miss the Kamov ka 26
I start with that one in SimCopter
Muito bom!
I think the air filter on that Bell 47 needs to be cleaned.
Why carry passenger ?? When you could ease the weight on the unit ?? Less stress ? Hmm
This is Helicopter.
Disculpas ... digo Kamov ...
Nice but the Kamov Ka-26 is still the king
When you put a turbine in these(47), they are then King.
Show 😎😎😎
Me gusta ese modo de fumigar
Only one fuel tank? Never seen that before.

Bell 47 flight july07
well, the thing at least looks the same...
Windy Wagner it is the same model.
The tv series mash used the 47 d1
wait... he's the little bugger from mash!!!
What's the smoke blast for? Marking purpose?
Yes, when he wanna modify something, or go around, he gonna now where to continue
As an Ag pilot myself, we use the smoke to have a visual reference of wind direction and speed to understand how much drift the spray might have. 👍🏻
