#SikorskyS58 #SikorskyHelicopter
Great video, and thank you for Not adding music, just letting us listen to the machine!!!!! 😀😀
Thanks!
The most amazing sounding helicopter in the world, bar none. Thanks for sharing!
I do like the sound too, thank you for watching the video!
What a beautiful machine… her sound, her shape, her movements… love her so much! A dream for me…
How are the tuna fields treating you?
I've finished my contract finally... still alive, looking forward for the next dangerous job all around the world! @@femdufoctar9048
Would you recommend it?
If you need to build hours yes :)@@femdufoctar9048
isn't that the coolest chopper ever build? great video :)
Oh, yeah!!!! Sikorsky's final piston design. Produced from 1955-1970.
This is awesome, to some it's not a pretty price of equipment but to me it is. What I like about it is it holds what an adventure would need for a work horse enviorment.
Pure soud. Great video
Great and nice video : I like hearing the real sound of a helicopter, and what a nice old sound this piston rotary one. What's more, we really attend the "show" from just a minimal distance... what a pleasure. Thank's very much.
Thanks for watching!
Mi amigo piloto de helicópteros manejó en su juventud este modelo para rescate y otras misiones, en el que viaje por trabajo en varios viajes por Asturias España, con los años la empresa se moderniza con tres más nuevos de dos marcas y última tecnología en 2023 prestan servicio público a los asturianos en toda sus variantes de utilidad, salvamento, rescates de montaña, marítimo y traslados de heridos a hospitales. Un buen video para el recuerdo. Un saludo.
Wow, I have never heard a radial engine in a helicopter before. I have seen them, but not heard them run. Awesome.
Do a search for "ka-26" for more videos of quirky radial engine powered helicopters.

There is a universal joint in the drive shaft that bends slightly going up next to the pilot that drives the rotor. The engine is in the front mounted at about 45 degree angle. The Army calls this a CH 34. The stabilization system is predominately vacuum tubes
From my point of view, whoever is flying has a good control touch... nice to see and hear!
Love and Hate this Helicopter.. It looks Ugly like a tadpole.. But loved the sound and legacy of the helicopter.. Nevertheless its only Helicopter that you can pop the Hood and check engine while engine running and Rotor spinning.. Try that on new turbine jet helicopter. 😮
I choose to be the camera man on the ground
Screaming Mimi, but only nearly as the mimi was turbine driven!
Love to have one. Absolutely perfect
It's so ugly; it's beautiful
Haha👍

Let's talk about fuel consumption...
Wow! It's a long time since I last saw one of those with that big Wright radial up front, and even then it was a highly-polished "preserved" example, not a working aircraft like this one. Must by type conversion or similar, since whoever is handling it clearly knows what he's doing. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching the video!
Ya got to love any helicopter that sounds like that.
I agree 👍👍👍
If only they could put a Merlin in it!! lol Cheers!
Not bad for a 66 year old bird. 19 July 1957
I, too, love radial engine sound. I was a Thai aircraft engineer working in AIR AMERICA, Udorn, Thailand during the secret war in Laos. UH 34 was later changed to a new turbine engine, S 58, at the time I worked there.
👍
Add this to my wish list.
Great video! Never gets boring watching a startup! That sure is a big helicopter, and although noisy, I bet it's a very smooth ride!
No, not so much of a smooth ride, if I remember correctly.
I used to live near where this was at.....those things always looked kinda sketchy to me.....they hover over cherry orchards after a rain to blow the water off the cherries so they dont split.....woke up to the sound of one of these many mornings.
👍

I guess these had a gearbox/transmission? it sounds like there is a gear change at startup.
👍
All helicopters have a transmission. But they are single speed.
Piece of Art that flies
ESTO ES LO MÁS EMOCIONANTE.
Epic equipment. Harley of the helicopters. To fly one of these is pretty Sik 🤙🏻
This is screaming mi mi with white paint.....still love the radial sounds....hope the centrifugal clutch was inspected!....the size of clutch it takes to hold up to 1800 h.p...must be immense.
Oh boy that don’t sound to good
Haha, sounded normal for a good old S58
Awesome, flying grandfather
Thanks
Nice...! Where...? Not basic Rotor Wing training... Must be transition acft training...? NICE Vid... Thanks, Gordon
Would love to learn to fly one of these 😍
It’s the helicopter version of the VW beetle van
Yes!
Now, I want to build that 1/48th scale Revell kit.
Don't! The Italeri or even the Trumpeter/ MC kit is far better! The rotor head on the Revell is too small among things.
Impressive. Has 1st class and economy cabins! lol Cheers!
Haha, yes
Such a cool aircraft
What a good video bud!!!!! I enjoyed it so much,thanks,
Thank You!
How much and were is this school at ....?
It's not a school, they have to do recurrent training before the season starts.
Fantastic video, I used to watch H34s fly around Stout Field when I was younger.
Where is Stout Field ?

I wonder how much water would the S-58 haul in a Bambi bucket
Not sure
I have worked with them on forest fires, years ago. I know they can lift 8 45-gal drums of fuel so that's at least 3000 lbs so at 10 lbs/gal that would be a 300 gal bambi.
I wonder, how many hours of maintenance for 1 hour of flight? I wonder, what does it cost per hour to rent/fly the H34?
A lot
Cheap to buy and operate compare to turbine engine powered helicopters
They must be cheap enough to fly/maintain if these guys are drying cherries with them.
Shifting gears??
maybe😁
Wow! Amazing video!
Thanks!
Is it normal for this aircraft to have multiple start attempts? I don’t think I’ve seen a video where it started up on the first go.
its a piston radial engine, so yea its normal
+ Cold, probably.
Here at the city airfield there was an Antonov AN2. It was beautiful to see it work. After all the oil has been replaced ... 💪
There are many cylinders, the ones upside-down need to have the chamber drained .... That's why this initial difficulty. But it flies majestically.
😄
Since it was a radial, oil could pool in the lower cylinders, there is no prop to use to rotate the crankshaft to make sure there was no hydraulic lock. They ran the starter with the mags off to make sure the engine was free to start. They had to be careful when doing that. It did take a few tries to get it to idle right.
They didn’t exactly have digital EFI or coil on plug ignition (or ANY sort of solid state ignition for that matter) back in those days. We’re talking carburetors and breaker points here. Much like old carbureted cars (particularly before any kind of electronic ignition), they didn’t always start right up on the first attempt and stay running. That’s just the way they were.
Screaming Mimi^^
yes
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome ❤️
Thanks
good شكرا
👍👍👍👏👏👏
👍
in the military it would be referred to the H-34 UH-34 Choctaw as its still powered by a Wright R-1820-84 radial engine 1525 HP. some were converted to turbine power with two P&W Canada pt6t engines twin pack. this aircraft in current piston engine form will meet the collection requirements of Kermit Weeks of Fantisy of Flight in Polk City Florida as his collections for aircraft are up to wwll and after wwll for airliners and early helicopters. as he has three Sikorsky S-55 Chickasaw helicopters a Sikorsky S-38 replica in restoration a Sikorsky S-39 Spirit of Igor rebuilt by Dick Jackson 40 years 40,000 manhour restoration. and a Sikorsky S-43 formally owned by Howard Huges. as this S-58 would be great for weeks collection as he is the sikorsky king.
Who cares?
I love that thing. Hence it is running on a pistion engine, it could be kit aircraft based on a chevy engine, I think.

i love this bird
