I was lucky enough to serve and deploy with CJ in the Marine Corps and got to know him. Hes the reason i became a helicopter pilot. He was an instructor at my original flight school. Great man and an outstanding pilot. It's so awesome to see him kicking ass over at MD Helicopters!! Thanks for sharing this video!
My 1st flight as a kid was in a 500. Great episode guys. I was also looking at all those trails out there. Would be cool to be jeering out there and get buzzed by a MD helo.
Flying helicopters at low altitude, close to the ground, is completely different from airplanes. much more enthusiastic. It's a shame they're so expensive
I have no flight experience, only time I have been in a plane was a single engine Cessna at the Riverside Airshow when I was a kid, maybe 14 or so. My dad got me one of those flights where they go up and do a loop around the city and land again. That was fun, it was back in about 1998 or 1999ish. I also too a helicopter tour of the Crazy Horse monument when I was around 9 or 10. My dream one day would be to get my PPL and be able to pilot a helicopter as well. I have been watching videos on the MD factory and watching other TH-camrs do the factory training. The scenery around Mesa and flying up the Salt River looks amazing. I would love to fly around Lake Havasu and go up around the river. I started out as an explorer in 98 with RSO and did some type of law enforcement ever since until 2022. I was a deputy last 10 years in a very rural county in Nevada. Was K9, FTO, rangemaster. LE is the best job ever, always wanted to do a fly along with RSO or RPD. Grew up watching Air-1 flying everywhere around Riverside when I was growing up. My best friend spent last 10 years at RPD as well. Happy flying and have fun in TN!
Great vid. Not sure about the announcer dude's overly dramatic voice at the beginning, but anyway -- is there a way to change the video recording framerate so that the MFDs don't flash? It's pretty destracting

Love it Ratt! Glad someone made one for MSFS and with 951RP repaint available
Man I have always loved the 5xx's the Ferrari of the sky. And the shock value of those kayakers in that first roll would be priceless 😂
CJ is the man!
Heck yeah! Great guy and great pilot!

Great flight, got to ride in Air 1 back in the early 80’s. 😊😊

I like it, nice twist on the format! BG
Thank you! Excited to continue this series as opportunity presents itself.
Cool video! Great job guys
Thanks Scott!
Sensacional.
Great flight in a beautiful area, not sure I would tell FAA that you teach your crew how to hover etc. Not being an instructor.

This is really remarkable!! the 530F is so beautiful!!! any possibility of posting the raw footage from this flight without any talking?

Riverside PD, go Air 1.
Most assumed ride flying around low.
