These should have about a gazillion views..... maybe try not cutting out the best parts? ALWAYS show (with sound) the engine start, and always show the landings... and maybe tell us a bit more about yourselves so the viewers can connect a bit more. Also, looking forward to the thoughts about R66 vs. 505, pros, cons, thoughts, feelings, etc. From both of you. Safe and enjoyable flights to you guys :)
As awesome as those pinnacles were, there's just something about the Great Plains. Probably the most underrated and overlooked landscape in America - amazing work capturing those sunset shots!
The fun in the wind is a scary situation. My experience was in a UH-60 Blackhawk east of Tooele. We cut short a mission because we could see a squall line coming towards us from Wendover. I dropped my pax off and took off into the wind and as I turned crosswind the squall line hit us and our indicated airspeed went to zero. I decided to turn back into the wind because we were being pushed towards the mountains by the wind and the controls felt like mush. Once we finally got turned around after being pushed for about two miles the airspeed indicated 100 and I was moving slowly backwards over the ground with no power. Only when I pushed the nose over to try to land did we stop going backwards. It took about two minutes to go from about 150’ on the radar altimeter to the ground almost all of it with zero power. When the wind indicated about 45 knots we took off and flew north towards the great salt lake with the nose facing west towards Wendover till we got around the mountains back to West Jordan. My biggest fear was trying to land while indicating 100 knots with zero power. If the wind stopped we’d probably pancaked the landing.
Indicated airspeed does not change by turning. Change in altitude yes or change in ACTUAL winds does. Getting knocked around in any case is not pleasant and best to avoid.
It seems to me that you edited out the helicopter’s story, in order to make this about you and your emotions. I hope that you have many enjoyable hours of safe flying.
One of the best helicopter videos i have seen, nice job!
Dude we need more of this bell 505 !
Beautiful scenery, I would freak out not being able to see the ground. Great video 😊

I realize I'm kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream new series online?
@Nova Terrance Flixportal
@Titus Arthur Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!
@Nova Terrance you are welcome :D
You sound very weird
Wow. That was beautiful. Especially the buttes on the reservation. Stunning. I get why people love flying helicopters.
Worth the wait on this one too

Thanks so much for sharing

Hey Matt
Just wondering if your still vloging? Don’t see anymore 505 vids. Really enjoy your videos and would love to see more on the Bell 505.
Just found your guys channel, interesting stuff, thanks😁
Surprising these don’t get more views so far..
you guys are making the fixed wing pilots jealous .. what a ride .
Do you still like the 505? How come no additional videos (on another channel?)

It's scary in a helicopter to have that happen. No fun at all.
Is that the Spanish Forks airport?
It seems to me that you edited out the helicopter’s story, in order to make this about you and your emotions.
I hope that you have many enjoyable hours of safe flying.
Where in Iowa?
Where in Iowa did you land?
Good call the home-itis.
You should paint that new helicopter red, it stands out so much better against nature like your R66... my humble opinion as a youtube filmmaker.
