    Great stuff. A couple recommendations, have a GoPro on a fixed mount facing forward, another facing you and add the audio feed from your headset so that you can narrate and we can hear radio calls. It would make it more interactive and enable a fixed video versus one on your head looking all around as the only feed. Some views from your POV is good for sure. Just adds some dimension to the overall video and takes it to the next step. You could mount a camera over your head to give the POV view of you controlling the helo. Love this kind of stuff. I agree going places like you go makes me want to go back and finish up my training. :)

After watching you fly I think I'll finally rent a ride somehow, must be a pilot service around here somewhere. It won't be cheap but well worth it. Thanks

    Two words of caution, although you probably already know the first one, be very careful coming up against walls. They can do fuck you things to the airflow under those blades… The other thing is, I'm not sure the people who had their cars parked right there appreciated you flying over the gravel. Definitely try to stay over the grass but seriously, this is very cool. Apparently they just let you put this thing down wherever you want where you are :-)

    I wanna buy an ultralight heli, something "Cheap" (considering helicopter prices), but still get my license to fly one. I've flown in sims but never irl, even in sims they're difficult to fly (Like DCS for example). The amount of control you have over the heli just shows how experienced you are with it, nice.

      Good idea lol, as a rated helicopter pilot I'll have you know that even if you buy an ultra light helicopter, you will absolutely get yourself killed if you don't go through the normal training to become a private helicopter pilot at the bare minimum.
      You need to have a decent feeling for autos if you wanna survive, especially in light or ultralight or homebuilt heli's

I would bet he had permission from theatre owner and where he would land and it looked like he landed well before many people arrived .

    Bro went in Solo expecting to get a piece but found himself with an entire pie immediately firing up his air stallion right in the middle of the show, spraying rocks all over the pee'ons ground wagon's, taking off into the nights mist so he could eat the whole pie all by himself back at the hangar.

    Never in my life did I think you could pull a helicopter with your bare hands. It just seems impossble.

      The R22 barely weighs around 900 pounds, with the wheels that attach to the skids you can move it around with ease. The average weight of a car is around 3,000 pounds and most adult males can push a car in neutral.

    This is somebody's dream in 1968, landing a helicopter at a drive-in movie theater.
    Ah, reliving the glory days, huh~?
