The helicopter is already beautiful by itself, and the orange color is even more beautiful. Do it justice with an honorable and courageous American coast guard.
In my opinion, the Sikorsky S-70 family (Blackhawks, Seahawks, Pavehawks, and Jayhawks), is one of the most beautiful helicopters in the world! Great bird!
Yeah, my shared number one favorite spot belongs to the H-60's (pretty much all models) and the Soviet Mil Mi-24D, and then the second spot (also shared) belongs to the UH-1 Huey and the Mil Mi-8 "Hip". Those are my favorite vehicles ever, but there's one non-helicopter vehicle that goes above all, and that's the F/A-22 Raptor!
My Uncle spent 30+ yrs as a civilian for the USCG and also was working on these when they were being upgraded to the Tango models, as well as frequently spent time at Coast Guard aviation training center in Mobile, AL and was also frequently at CGAS Elizabeth City, NC, he is one of many people who made the conversion to the new model a great success!
For those who are curious, this paint job is the Coast Guard's ceremonial "Centennial" paint job. Though make no mistake. This bird sees plenty of action.
Hoping they didn't buy too much of that color and plan on sharing it with the other A/S. Wasn't a fan when they painted the 140's black instead of leaving them white much less red (as the icebreakers they are). Hey, if they can justify painting the Mackinaw red when it's as much a buoy tender build as anything else, they could have painted the 140's red. Just my opinion of course.. :-)
@@tc1uscg65 I'd want black paint while flying around ice. The slight extra warmth from the sunlight can only help keep the sheet metal skin in better condition. But that's purely a practical standpoint, not an asthetic one.
Thank you kindly for posting. And a SPECIAL thank you to all the brave men and women of the Coast. Thank You for your service. What a marvelous sight and sound. Its funny = as the rotor speeds up - it looks like its stopping. What a strange optical effect.
I was one of the first factory trained Army Blackhawk Repairers. I was stationed at FEVA for six years training AIT students to be Blackhawk Repairers. Excellent film footage and sound.
I beg to differ. The HH-3F was the only true Work Horse helicopter the CG ever had. A real beast that could do it all. Sorry, but I had to say that. I was a Flight Mech. on them and as all aviators are concerned, whatever they fly is best. Actually all military helicopters are very capable of doing the jobs they are assigned to. With a few exceptions,....Ahem (dolphin) cough cough!!
This clip brought back great memories. My first ride in a helicopter was when a Air National Guard UH-1 Huey landed at Fort George in Castine, it was in the fall of 1989, my senior year at MMA, they asked if we wanted a ride, Hell Ya!. Working offshore I've flown well over 100 chopper flights now, not as fun as the first time though.
That's a serious ride. So well preserved. I haven't seen this livery before. Clearly not an emergency lift off here - but this outfit must see a lot of water rescue from the fishing industry.
Bob Boberson I can’t tell you the name because I forgot how to spell it but the comments above yours say the name... but it’s some sort of memorial livery, if that helps
Used to be stationed at the Sandwich Canal Station up the road from the AirSta Cape Cod. Did a few basket drills with them out in the bay. Nice paint job...looks like something you'd find over in England.
how the hell can you even concentrate on any job surrounded by such beauty? Sometimes I fantasize creating my own Art excursion, to include some writing and photography and painting. I could only imagine how wonderful it would be to lose myself there for 2 or 3 weeks and just indulge in my passion. I tried really hard to get stationed there when in the Air Force. Not sure if we even have a station there anymore. I envy you so much!!
Great video! I really enjoy watching turbine helicopter procedures. Your camera work, fall colors, framing, and the bird itself makes this a spectacular video.
These birds went through vulnerability testing at White Sands Missile Range, NM after some hard elevator commands which couldn't be over ridden caused crashes. I flew in one of these amazing choppers back in the late 70's or early 80's at Fort Irwin.
After reviewing video . I understand now what he was doing running his hand underneath the front on cockpit . Heat signature from his hand ... cool shit
Looks like the preflight checks take time for completion.as the rotors pick up speed the mechanical whine gives way to characteristic chopping sound.takeoff is effortless.
I honestly feel like they could save anybody from anything. You could call these guys and say I’m in actual hell and they would save you no problem take 20 minutes then go get lunch. Amazing.
Class of '00 - Knew it was Castine from the thumbnail! We had the 6001 bird - the CG's first Jayhawnk - stop by while I was student. Also got to direct in a ME NG UH-1 on the same field!
Tremendous weight to carry, not to mention a nightmare of keeping up with the (sometimes regular) unanticipated turn of events that come with this job!! Much respect for the man you are blessed to call Dad!!! Much respect!!
Loaded my share of PTs from car wrecks onto helos on the highway. Bird is always light on the skids and ground EMS and FFs have to beat feat, only people near the bird are one ground EMS personnel and flight nurse to load PT.
can someone explain to me, the specific tone starting to develop at about @4:40 and culminating at about @4:50 and beyound, what is it? Most if not all helicopter take off videos, regardless of type/model have this sound and it's something that, from childhood, represents the "helicopter sound" for me. I realize it's smth related to the speed of the blades cutting through the air but is it smth "special" happening at that moment that is common to most/all helicopters ?
I saw one of these Yellow Seahawks awhile back and had to look it up. They are painted that way for the Anniversary of USCG Aviation when all their Helos used to be that Color. He was flying out of Clearwater International
I have never seen that paint scheme, normally it is orange white and blue, or just orange, but I have never seen yellow, though I think it looks better in yellow.
Question. In the event of an emergency where minutes can cost someone's life. Do the crew and pilots take this long to get up in the air? I don't know anything about helicopters. That is why I'm asking.
In an emergency it can be done faster. But this is a normal start up and takeoff procedure. When there is no rush, slow and easy is the safe way to go.
there exists a such thing as a checklist, which can take a lot of time. during this (especially with heli pilots) you'll see them flicking loads of switches to do stuff like trimming, toggling batteries, generators, engine starters, etc. then pilots typically have to establish comms with some form of air traffic control or navigation. all in all it can take a lot of time yes
The helicopter is already beautiful by itself, and the orange color is even more beautiful.

Ahh yes the jayhawk one of the most coolest coast guard helicopter my favourite helicopters
6042. Crewed it many times at Clearwater. Nice to see it got the anniversary paint job.
I see them all the time flying over Clearwater. Always makes me happy.
325 A.I.R. 4th battalion
Flew on her during Deepwater Horizon incident. Many flights, only one issue, a rotor brake caution light .. turned out to be a faulty sensor.
I love the scenery up in the North, you have these place that are schools and business and they look like people's homes.
That's so North East, Shaker style homes.
man, that's pretty. it looks great in yellow.
Such an amazing take off
I'm digging the ochre livery. Sempur Visibilitus.
that is just amazing what a paint scheme
Beautiful video. Stunning
I really miss flying on the Big Iron. I flew on the 42 in E-City back in the day.
AMT2 medically retired from AIRSTA Cape Cod
I did my time in E-City from '73 to '77 in H52s and H3s and a short time in U16s.
When I approach the helicopter I'm always🤣😂 instinctively bend my head down
A very nice stable machine, best one CG has had yet.

Over here in England our Coast Guard choppers are painted white and orange, usually, not the most interesting
@@krysler1490 but the RAF has S-70's in all-yellow livery. Mainly used in SAR missions.
@@krysler1490 They just recently changed the color scheme for some aircraft.
Yellow looks really good on that thing
That Jayhawk looks so thoughtful

I loved this paintscheme.
And it’s the retro scheme bird! BRAVO ZULU!
Nice video dude! And nice chopper too , I really like that special paint scheme
Its flat yellow
Jayhawks get the coolest paint jobs 😎
That paint scheme is so tasty.
That's a nice sound, so relaxing.
Thank You Sir, Beautiful sound and chopper. Hats off to our Heroes. U.S.C.G
Wow!! good to have a Helicopter in back yard
It is cool :)
How bout a Harrier Jump Jet?
@@AquaSerpent9001 even cooler!
Nice video, excellent paint scheme on that aircraft. It sure is clean.
something about that yellow and black nose colour scheme that makes it look so good

Back in my days,('74-'80) all the choppers were white with the exception of the ones on the breakers..they were orange.
Were your copters HH-1N aka Bell 212?
Nice fall colors...on the helicopter.
such a beautiful helicopter. its got beautiful lines like a 51 merc
Beautyful and sounds mighty👍🏻

Man, I love that yellow. I wish we had one at our airsta.
WOW!!! What a magnificent machine!
I think that what y'all do is so awesome to me and so heroic too 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Ohh love the sound to it
What an awesome capture, I've subscribed! 🚁💯❤
That is a awesome helicopter and very nice colors 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Those are nice homes at the background
Now that is one beautiful heli.
Interesting to see the cewmember looking underneath at the powerplant drains.
I like the colour scheme.
I Love to see Helicopters starting since i was a Child
its just Insane to Lift Tons and Tons with Air
My dad is the flight mechanic on these :)
NO I AM YOU DAD!!!
Perhaps he will find the lost watch of the guy searching for it somewhere?
Ask him what engine is used? My guess is CT7 _ 9B

US COAST GARD CAPE COD MASS!!!! BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!!! OMG WHAT A BUNCH OF BAS ASS'S WITH A BAD ASS CHOPPER!!!!
I thought they helicopters were all white with red
They come in any color you choose!!!!
Cool. Haven’t ever seen an orange one like this though, I wonder why it is orange rather to red and white
PEppA they decided that orange sticks out the most
PEppA rather school bus yellow same color
Its painted yellow to celebrate the coast guards 100 years of aviation
I wish I had one of those in my backyard. I would be flying all over the place lol
what a beautiful helicopter .
Pure gold heli.
Great wagon wheel effect
Carl! Get in the damn chopper!
you have more comments than I have views! fab vid!
This man wakes up And Takes His Heli While Millions Just wake up and Drive their Compact cars 😂😂😂
With that paint scheme it would be difficult to misplace.
Nice video! Thanks for sharing
The H-60 variants will be in service for probably as long as the UH-60 variants. Especially with today's insane price tags for new hardware.
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down??
Very nice catch! I like the white paint scheme better but it still looks nice.
it is a special paint job to commemorate 75 years of coast guard aviation
Keep it that way, looks cool!!!
Loaded my share of PTs from car wrecks onto helos on the highway. Bird is always light on the skids and ground EMS and FFs have to beat feat, only people near the bird are one ground EMS personnel and flight nurse to load PT.
I was curious how fast a helicopter could take off in an emergency. Would a helicopter with a piston engine be any faster?
It is the original color of Coast Guard aircraft and was painted this way to commemorate the 75 anniversary of Coast Guard Aviation!
great video! thanks for posting!
The sky is where it's at!
how do they disengage the rotors from the engines. great video.
Sooner Jon The Conservative like a blade on a riding mower
Sooner Jon The Conservative a clutch.

Yes thats a beautiful Machine and a great Take Off
One day I’ll fly one of these 🙂
