I'm not sure there's prettier views anywhere. Amazing scenery, especially to someone who is from west Texas, where it's flat, dry desert. Although, during this entire flight, I didn't see a single cactus or tumbleweed. So, I guess we do have some things not found anywhere else ! Great video guys !
Another fantastic adventure for us flat landers. I sent a few pics of it to a friend in florida that is without power. Entertainment while they cook in the steam with elevations of 30 feet! Well that is a mountain there. Thanks for the beautiful shots and bit of education on flying. Music was great. I am not a fan of motor noise unless very subdued in background. You have a great microphone. Wish the camera was outside the bubble for better clarity. Maybe you can get that quartz glass like the one they used on the SR71 that used a telescope to search for stars before gps. Not sure if that would cost less than a few helicopters. Thanks for sharing these routine outings for us in the flatlands.
Beautiful scenery and camera work. I have spent a lot of time in similar places in the Coast Mountains, both hiking and backpacking, as well as doing various heli supported work. One of the things I have done a fair bit of is flying Mountain Goat Winter Ranges, looking at habitat values and for the presence or absence of animals, so my eyes are well tuned to spotting them and I know what type of terrain they prefer. When you are discussing looking for goats in an area you had seen them previously, I believe you flew by a nanny and at least one kid on a grass/rock ridge. Look at 12:30 at top of windscreen, right hand side, about 1 o'clock high. That creamy yellowish white colour always draws my eye. Looking forward to further videos.
Thanks. Funny that the reason that I watched the video is I thought that you would be looking for a missing Jet Ranger or an old wreck, then the flying, the alpine scenery, and the camera work kept me watching. Then the goats! Now subscribed.
Great video I am not sure the constant music adds anything...Being a helicopter fan personally I would prefer just your talkback and Helicopter engine noise.. I don't mind a bit of music as you have done before..... Very enjoyable viewing guys
Yah, I concur about the music. I love these vids, but music -- *especially with vocals* -- is a distraction. Give me the intercom and radio chatter and heli noises (especially if you get an R66 ;^) ) over music any day.
Hey Mischa, I like your videos, beautiful country but I was just curious how quickly do you think you could hand back on that collective in a low rotor RPM situation with a low hour student (or any student for that mater), especially in the Robinson?
Where you saw the tracks in the gravel, do you think it might be someone flying a Cuban or something? I would love to be there in either a helicopter or a plane!!!!!!!
That's one thing we warn all the fixed wing student pilots, get your private, instrument and commercial in fixed wing, (used to be cheaper) , then transition to rotary wing and it's done, but once you start landing in your own backyard, and the minimart parking lot for a lunch snack, you'll Never go back to fixed wing. 😁
I follow a sailing channel from Prince Rupert and you guys.Ready to sell my house in Texas and move to your beautiful country.I wish i could get the name of the artist that opens the background music. that tune has me hooked. Thanks for what you do.
You can get a student pilot permit at the age of 16 and fly solo but from what I remember you have to be 18 to get a private license and 19 for commercial.
Absolutely start as soon as possible!!! I started flying in 1980 at 14, building hours in a 152 cessna popcan, my group of friends all flew radio control planes at a nearby private airstrip with houses owned by airlines pilots. One day we were flying our planes and a pilot and his daughter walked out and said, she just got her instructor permit, and we're going to lease a 152, are you interested to learn,.......Uh...YESSSSSS!!! So 5 of us kept her busy for the next year getting our hours in and just waiting to turn 16 for our solo certs. Don't put off till tomorrow what you can tackle today, and NEVER let Anyone steal your dreams!!! 👍😁👍 8,000 hr helo pilot now, thanks to an early start.
Okay...I think it's been twice now I've noticed you mention you're only at 20% power with the turbojet(?)...Unlike a piston that must be at approximately 100% power...please explain in a video this difference if you could.
Jon Doe the Robinson R44 that they are flying is piston powered. There power is measured in inches of murcury . They were pulling 20 inches of power not 20% power. Depending on weight and altitude and lots of other things that need to be worked out they could pull roughly 24 inches. I hope this helps.
Thank you Sir for all your wonderful content. Love your instructions and demenor. Always a wide value of content. Thanks for sharing your Heli Family.
How lucky we are to live in BC and see all of its wonders
Thanks for this epic Video.
Saving my pennies for when I can get my licence one day
hoping you are on your way to flight school. 🤙
@@blueman5924 Cheers Blue thanks
I love the color of your R44. Beautiful
Incredible!

Thanks for sharing gents, amazing video.

David Guilbride very cool

Two Thumbs Up!!!!
Would just love to fly with you and take photos of that place. Canada is beautiful.
Looks like those tire tracks are from bushwheels of and airplane ? Somebody having fun way up there ?
Oh that makes sense.

I have to agree. The music is cheesy, but the narration and photography is great.

Do you have a link to your pricing for training and refresher courses? Also a transition from Hughes 300C to R44.
Thank you
Tim Morris yes just visit www.bchelicopters.com. If you don’t find the pricing you are looking for just email us.
Wow, BC is so beautiful, what part are you in? What camera are you using?
When you title it LOST BELL I was thinking a lost Bell 47 helicopter or something.
I was thinking it was an abandoned JetRanger.
Where you saw the tracks in the gravel, do you think it might be someone flying a Cuban or something? I would love to be there in either a helicopter or a plane!!!!!!!
Ya it could be.
There's Gold in them there hills
"I think that is iron, but i am not much of a rock guy"... uhm yeah, the music gave that away already ;-)
helicopters are so much better than small airplanes
That's one thing we warn all the fixed wing student pilots, get your private, instrument and commercial in fixed wing, (used to be cheaper) , then transition to rotary wing and it's done, but once you start landing in your own backyard, and the minimart parking lot for a lunch snack, you'll Never go back to fixed wing. 😁
Is there a story why they brought a bell up to the Alpine area? How many years ago did this occur?
Ohhhhhhhh. ..you meant a Bell helicopter?? lol.😊
Oh. ..as in Bell helicopter. ..not as in bong bong!😅
See much wildlife up there?
Mischa: Just curious, have you or ever considered flying fixed wing?
Not really no. Nothing about it really pulls me. Plus I'm way to busy right now. Maybe someday I'll change my mind.

Can a student of 10 grade be a private pilot in your country? ??
You can get a student pilot permit at the age of 16 and fly solo but from what I remember you have to be 18 to get a private license and 19 for commercial.

8,000 hr helo pilot now, thanks to an early start.
Did the student pilot realise he had a caterpillar below his chin during this flight?
That should be, a Cub. I hate this spell check at times!
.....while you're engaged in filming I should have added.
Forget the bell....Have you seen Bigfoot???
Anyone know the name of the second song playing in the background?
Muted the 'music'
