    That never gets old. The best sound ever created by any machine! I can smell that jet exhaust from here! Lovely flight, thanks for posting.

      @@HollywoodConnection-jast I used to refuel Jet Rangers and Augusta 109's a lot during the 1980's/90's. I loved the smell of jet exhaust then and now! I also hated to have to wash out my overalls.....the feint smell of Jet A1 clinging to them at the end if the week was rather good! (People just think I'm weird! 🤣)

    Was this temporarily set up for right seat pilot or is it permanently like that? I thought the 500 usually had pilot left seat.
    The left collective looked basic and I presume the left side person was the passenger (filming and feet off pedals)
