I'm sorry, I guess I don't remember them having a problem, these fly all the time so I can only assume it has been corrected. Thank you for watching & maybe someone will comment that knows.
@@EdWhisenantAviation I saw another video that did a forensic break down of a hub failure on one of these I thought. I think some soldiers were killed.
@@rael5469 WOW! thank you for the video, I don't remember this, I watched it and commented. RIP to all 13 crew and passengers that died in the crash & feel so bad for all the family & friends. Kudos for explaining what happened and for the continuous improvement to prevent it from happening again.
I'm just wondering how that particular sheriff's department's budget can afford such a machine. Unless it's subsidized by the local or state government. Nice helo anyway
Ya I'm not sure how all the money stuff works but they sure are cool to watch in action and they save several lives a year so that's a good thing. Thank you for watching.
LA County is bigger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined and has more people, 10+ million, than 41 states. It has a bigger economy than a number of countries. The Super Pumas replaced their Sea Kings they used for many years.
We had four S-61's in the inventory. However, due to their age and heavy maintenance requirements they needed to be replaced. We looked at the Sikorsky S-92, but it was cost prohibitive. The AS 322 Super Pumas were available and we purchased them. I wish we had S92's, but they were out of reach.
@@frost7724 sorry for the late reply, but most law enforcement agencies, require you to be a patrol officer for a number of years, before you can request to be put in an air unit, you will first start out as an observer, and some agencies will help you get your pilot's license.
Great question. I've herd that they get a great price and maintenance contract and find out later that they should have gone with a Bell or Sikorsky. Note: this what I've been told.
@@EdWhisenantAviation The U.S. Army has a supply of Black Hawk helicopters and they're trying to break into the civilian market by converting military aircraft for civilian use like Bell. The New Jersey State Police had a frustrating time in selling their Sikorsky S-76s because they were considered too big. My Uncle and I aren't fans of Airbus helicopters and jets.
"what sheriff's office can afford a Super Puma," puts glasses on, "oh LA."
I think they have three of these Puma's, thank you for watching Randy. 😎
That's one awesome helicopter, I've love to spot a Super Puma some day. Great footage Ed!
Yes, I love watching this Helo in action, at the rate your going you will see one soon :)
If you got about 30million $ laying around you can buy one yourself

Have they fixed the rotor hub problems on the Super Pumas? Was that on the Super Puma or another model?

Ed, can we use your first shot of this helicopter on the ground on NBC News platforms with an onscreen credit to you?
I'm so sorry, I just now saw your comment. It went into spam.
Nice. I wonder if this one was manufactured in brazil or Europe?
I'm not sure, I searched but couldn't find anything, Thank you for watching 👍
Man I wish they had gotten hold of some old ch-46s.
Hello Casey, thank you for watching. I like the CH-46's 😎👍

Thank you for your comment and for watching :)
Their aviation unit is huge, they have about 18 helicopters in it. As noted by Serious, they have a LOT of area to cover!
Lol....we have a total of 22 aircraft..20 are helos...
the super puma is such a badass heli
Yes it is, I wish I could see it more often, Iv'e only seen it three times, thank you for watching 👍
Ed Whisenant np :)
Why would the LA County Sheriff Department buy a French chopper? Why not buy an S-61 for instance? Where did the crew receive their training?
Ya I'm not sure why this happens. Thank you for watching and for your comment & maybe someone will have an answer for your question.
They do have a S-61, well they used to. It got replaced by AS-330
Registration: N950SB
They used to have a S61 but changed to a Super Puma
We had four S-61's in the inventory. However, due to their age and heavy maintenance requirements they needed to be replaced. We looked at the Sikorsky S-92, but it was cost prohibitive. The AS 322 Super Pumas were available and we purchased them. I wish we had S92's, but they were out of reach.
One of it crashed today(N950SG). So far all of the deputies are in critical condition
Ya, I was very sad to hear the news, my phone was blowing up. I pray for all to be ok.
That helicopter in long Beach because is LB
Yo got it - Thank you for watching 👍😎
how can i become a LA County Sheriff Helicopter pilot? don’t they do training so trainees can learn to fly the helicopter?
I'm not the person to ask, you would have to check with the LA County Sheriff what the procedure is. Thank you for watching & I wish you luck.
Ed Whisenant ok thank you

Why a Super Puma when there's plenty of products from Bell and Sikorsky helicopters.

@@apolloniaaskew9487 I would have to agree with you, I wish they would purchase these Army Black Hawks.
Super puma is much more advanced helicopter than its American alternatives. For its size its performance and capacity is unmatched.
