    Former helicopter pilot here . I flew in the Argentine Air Force the Hughes 369 HM /500C /500D series then I flew the Bell UH1H "Huey" and the next couple of years I flew the IA58 "Pucara", which is an antihelicopter twin turboprop aircraft. Some years latter I was assigned to the UN Minustah (Haiti) for a six -month tour. I flew there the bell 212. I swear for God that my initial training in the Hughes allowed me to fly later fully focused on all aspects of Flight . Thanks to the Hughes & Pucara experience I learned coordination and spatial orientation, as well as maintaining a steady and natural flight and how to fight anti-helicoter aircraft . Thanks for your video!

    I saw one flying yesterday and parked today at my local airport.. was excited to see it as I mostly see Bell 412s and Jetrangers where I live. The 500D is still my favorite helicopter after 38 years although I prefer the original Hughes bubble canopy. I guess they’re made by Boeing now after they acquired McDonnell Douglas years ago?!.. So I had to search videos to hear that great sound again and this was the first that came up! Nothing sounds like that 5 blade main rotor system!.. The 500D is used a lot in New Zealand where I’m from for deer hunting and mountain flying...my first helicopter ride was in a 500C.. then I flew in a 500D from a skifeild doing heli-boarding..sadly the pilot was killed a few years later searching for another crashed helicopter in heavy fog. Alan Bond was a respected pilot, one of the best pilots experienced in mountain flying in NZ.. Years later I did lessons for a while in R22s and his daughter was in my class learning to fly.. helicopter flying is a lot of fun especially low level...we used to fly at 50 feet / 50 knots following a curvy river in one exercise...great fun!...thanks...

    these helicopters can do what most other choppers cannot, and that's loops and barrel rolls.

      Bo 105 can also do this as it is a fully rigid rotor system

    • @nocalsteve
      @nocalsteve 3 роки тому +2

      Actually, there are a lot of helicopters that can loop and roll, even CH-53s have done loops and rolls. The issue is that it is illegal for a certified helicopter to do aerobatics.
