Next video , I bought an airport with Cleetus to store all our copters and planes 😂.. hanger rentals in the description...
We can only hope.
More like, They found a way to buy the property all around the FF and Bradenton. To turn it into the ultimate race facility and airport.
I'm pushing for a used aircraft carrier

Demo Ranch Matt has been teasing a new project. Renovating an Abandoned Airport has a ring to it. 🤔 😂
I have the utmost respect for flight paramedics, they have saved my fathers life twice and countless others. They are underappreciated life savers
I think your father needs to be more careful lol.
@@teddyroosevelt79 You should think before commenting.
@@teddyroosevelt79 you dunno wtf even happened .. probably just a medical emergency in a remote place they've been to my father-in-law's farm more than once for him because there's nothing but dirt roads to get to it, and a hospital is an hour and a half in perfect conditions so in winter double it or it won't even be possible as the roads aren't plowed the whole way , not everybody lives in a shitty city with people everywhere and clinics on every corner...
Glad they made it time. Not sure if they're underappreciated. Just think they're so rare nobody knows one until they need them. (Maybe that is exactly what under appreciated is..)
I used to work on a children’s helicopter in Ohio. Was a great job!
I’m a broken person, in my soul..,and physically, superPTSD IM NOT A VETERAN. But what I have suffered thru the last 23 yrs would destroy most ppl. I watch ur channel religiously u have an old soul as well as ur crew does also. I’m not looking for anything I just wanna say u give ppl like me hope in humanity Ty guys god bless u.
Just watched a couple of videos, about the Blackhawk and the dauphin helicopters. As a retired veteran, who spent years working aviation, this thought came to me. If you are really looking for something to do with the third dauphin helo, turn it into a simulator and charge for the experience. Who knows maybe you can even give under privileged teens lessons to help them towards their dreams of flying.
😇😇😇😇👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And you can NEVER have enough spare parts...
I know I’m 2 months late. But he actually is going to do that. Expect. He’s going to do it with the black hawk and instead of teens he’s gonna do veterans
I was flying 293SV earlier this year, it’s a great helicopter. The N model “SJ” is 1 of 2 N models still flying in the world. Aaron is great guy to work for. These are legit aircraft and up until this video- they we’re out saving lives every day and night. Treat them well!!
May God bless you all.
Thank you for what you do
I unfortunately had a ride in a lifelight after a bad car accident and because of that flight I'm still able to walk
You and your team and all the teams are heros thank you
What does LIFE FLIGHT fly now?

Hey I’m a Canadian helicopter mechanic and worked 10 years on offshore Dolphins, AS365 C1-C3, N and N3. They are awesome aircrafts. Just watch out with the 11 blades type fenestron tail rotor assy. The blades tends to have issues. I’m also working on Super Puma, AS332 L1, Sikorsky S-61, doing heavy lift and fire fighting in Canada, USA, Australia and Chile. incredible work horses. Cheers from Canada! Enjoy your flights!
Chile! Thank you for your work. I miss Chile so much
Yeah, time for a 10 blade upgrade for sure. I'm not sure if the N model is worth putting anything into these days but that N2 is a nice machine.
"Fenestron" tail rotor : A tail rotor mounted in a window (fenêtre) instead of in the open (like most).

❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😂😂😂Lol 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
The story about the child and the lawnmower made me tear up. Thankful for the service from these men and women that helps everyone in the worst times of their lives.
Thank you for your service to all the flight crews and especially my brother Veteran coastguard pilot.. you all be safe on every flight!! Thanks Dave for showing these hero’s !!🇺🇸🇺🇸
That weird guy left me with a feeling that he didn't own any of that equipment, I really feel you dodged a lot of trouble on that deal.
That guy in Arizona was shady as hell. He was directly linked to the drug cartel in Mexico and probably linked to the Chinese Communist Party
Sketchy AF.
Never trust a meth head.
Just imagine if he went through with that first deal and then had to watch this deal pass him by. Things will always work out. Glad he got this deal since these are ready to fly, no work needed to get them off the ground.
He wanted to take his money plus his own gear to set up his militia overseas...
Those helicopters have been like angels for many people,gives me goosebumps to think of all the life they have helped preserve
This hits close to home, being a born and raised Columbus native and very familiar with Children's Hospital Aaron's story was a tearjerker. Great video fellas. I hope you enjoyed Ohio, we're not just a flyover state, I promise.
Great video!! Mercy Flight Buffalo saved my life in 2006, flying me to a trauma center after a motorcycle accident. These helicopters have a very special place in my heart.
Ditto!
I am just going to say it Dave. That scammer sent you in the right direction and to see "Life Flight" on the tail section. That seems somehow very fitting for you and your crew!! Keep up the great work!!
What is the link to your channel Maria Cancer
Do you think he got his $250k back?
@@KutWrite what $250k? He lost the $10k deposit that's it
@Maria CANCER SCAM!!!
I thought it was too good
Very nice video, and a salute to those heroes out there saving lives with these helicopters. Thank you for doing what you do.❤️❤️
Both my grandfather's needed a mercy helicopter in their lifetimes and they both had their lives saved due to one. Love and respect to all the pilots saving people. True hero's ❤
Man that blue one is stunning. What a beautiful piece of equipment. Crazy to think it's from 1979 when you see how cars were built in the same years. This this looks so futuristic in comparison
My dad was saved in a lifeflight Dauphin a few years ago. These helicopters and their pilots/crew are true heroes
As a former 1st responder, I had chills watching this video.
I applaud you Dave, for purchasing these ships and showing the emotional attachment they carry to the communities.
I left law enforcement and currently work with Lockheed Martin, painting the C130J.
Aircraft are incredible.
So are 1st responders.
I have much respect for the life flight workers. I so appreciate what they do on a daily basis. In 2009 my husband wrecked his 4 wheeler and was transported from a hospital in Ohio to. Pittsburgh hospital in like 15 minutes….where if by ambulance it would have been an hour. Hubby came home in a week and if is fine. I can’t wait to see what Dave has in store.
This video warmed my soul. I have three key similarities with the two employees from Life Flight: I am in the profession, I share there name, and I have an unbridled love for the job. This video warmed my soul because for a brief moment the shadowy veil was removed and much of what we stand for was placed in the open. Thanks dude
Shadowy vail? 😂
@@chrisdeck6802 You have no idea what they see or have seen. Being a retired ICU nurse I’ve taken care of what these guys bring in. You can’t imagine what’s behind “the veil” and you don’t want to, trust me. It’s not funny.
Thank you Dave for buying these helicopters and giving them a loving home! I have always wanted to fly in a helicopter. My most HEARTFELT gratitude goes out to every EMT who has flown in one of these! When I was 15 I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident and was transported in one of these. I wish I could remember it.
Ditto!
Bro I just commented about my similar story. 16 and wrecked during a motocross race on my CRF250. It’s brought tears to my eyes seeing them. I was in and out but I’ll never forget being loaded in and looking up at the EMTs. Every crew on these choppers are absolute studs and my thanks goes out to all of them.
seems there are a few of us with similar stories.. 1993, 19 yrs old, riding my Ninja 600 with no cares in the world ;) that all changed quickly that day.
Wanted to fly for Uncle Sam, but the first test after finding out I could walk into the building, was an eye exam and that was kind of it for THAT idea...
Love it! I wouldn't be here myself if not for Life Flight! Utmost respect and gratitude to everyone who makes this service possible! Life Flight picked me up in a semi remote area where I got an 8 min flight to local trauma hospital after being involved in a serious motorcycle accident. While this was many years ago, I wish I could have thanked them personally for saving my life! Support these amazing folks any chance you can! Love this channel.
Congratulations Heavy! I am happy you were able to see your dreams fulfilled due to your hard work and kind heart! Good things happen to good people!!!
Life Flights got my mom and myself out of our small community hospital, in ARIZONA! to bigger hospitals in Mesa and Tucson. No accidents involved for us, just very serious medical issues that needed emergency care. I'm so grateful for this service. The birds leave our hospital every day. Sometimes, I hear them up to 5x's a day. They are a blessing to those in serious need. I say, "God help all in that chopper," when I hear one take off. Good on ya Dave and your crew!
The air pilot and nurse are truly heroes thank you for what you do
That white helicopter saved my life it is absolutely crazy I stumbled upon this video. I would never think you would come to Ohio. Especially 15 minutes from my hometown. Thankful for the pilots and the helicopter and I’m glad it’s going to you.
👌👌✌️✌️
@@rollin3480 You must live near me. Sylvania here.
How did it save your life
@@outlast1248 brought me to the hospital when I broke my rib cage and punctured my lungs? Lol
@@GenXApex ottawa
Dave, you are such an inspiration. When you guys helped the ppl out in San Bernardino I was like… “I hope I get our Vegas route while you guys were out there.” In hopes of running into you and your crew. Didn’t happen though. I got the San Fran route. A joy to watch your show and all you guys do. Especially your charity work. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽🤙🏽
I live in northwest Ohio where both of those helicopters probably have flown to and from our local hospital and accidents. You never know when Heavy D and his guys might end up in your neck of the woods. It's good to see that he finally has the helicopter he was looking for.
Paulding ohio here!
We live in the country and have a racetrack behind our home. Its really sobering to see these birds have to land there knowing someone is in a real bad spot. Much respect to the pilots and others involved. Thanks to all.
Birds?
@@MysteryClown life link helicopter.
I’m an ex CG helicopter crewman/hoist operator and mechanic with 20 years on the dolphin. What an amazing and capable helicopter. Congrats Dave!!!🦾🍾
I love how D takes and cares for his whole crew... what a great guy...
Dave God bless you and your crew. Your living the life.
The one thing that always comes across is your love and respect for all those around you. Love the videos, glad you got the helicopter you searched so hard for.
I’m a first responder in northwest Ohio. Those life flight choppers are out of the Toledo area from mercy health. I guarantee I have help land that bird on scene quite a few times. Awesome to see you guys end up with them! I’ll have to see if I can find pictures for you guys !
Special people. Utmost respect for EMTs. Angels in the midst of absolute horror. Calming, helping, healing.
Another shoutout to the camera work and editing on your videos! You guys are killing it!
This helicopter used to fly to my tiny town in Ohio all the time, landed at a park for a convention one time and got to climb inside as a kid. It’s awesome to see that it has a new home with you. My dad is also a firefighter and has probably landed this bird a couple of times.
I love the the unique sound from the dauphin. You could definitely distinguish it. As a former Crash and Salvage member in the Navy and former LEO, I say thank you to all first responders including Life Flight crews that continue to save lives day in and day out.
Dave, I am so glad you finally found the helicopter of your dreams that wasn't "Too good to be true"! No man deserves it more than you with your passion to help others in need. I hope she fills all your wishes for her and gives more joy than you can stand! Thanks for the ride along!
I flew medivac for about 9 years. I certainly loved the mission while I was doing that. I'm glad you had a chance to get some interviews with people who are still doing this. There is definitely a passion with these people (nurses and pilots, etc). I'm glad you might also be able to help the other medivac company out and still make a little $. Good deal all around and certainly less drama than the scammer guy.
My brother-in-law is EMS in a small town, and his experience with massive trauma situations is similar to what they were talking about.
Within his first year, he had already responded to a multiple car pileup on the nearby freeway with nearly double digit fatalities, including children. He also did CPR on a patient who was the victim of an alcohol + ATV user. She was so disfigured by the crash that he had no idea it was his coworker from his second job. She didn't make it.
Thank you EMS everywhere for the vital work you do.
My sister lives in northern Ohio and these are a pillar of the communities. Every time one flies over people look up and say thank you. Couldn't have been passed on to a better person
Hansey, your doing a great job at analyzing the situation, thinking about it, and you are close enough to Dave to possibly keep him from a huge mistake like in Arizona sketchy guy. Dave Sparks gets excited and tunnel vision of what he wants, you are his silent protector, keep doing this. You know how to keep the guys fed and look out for dangerous situations. 👍
-your- *you're* (you are)
I just want to say, that I absolutely love the helicopter content, I'm glad you guys got the deal that you are happy with and deserve. Stay safe and I look forward to the next video!!
The helicopter and ems workers are just amazing people. Its crazy what they have to see and deal with and how they hold it together through all of that i dont know. But that you to all of you who are in some kind of life saving field.
As a former Coast Guard member they are meant to be Coast Guard Orange. I can't wait to see what you do with these two beautiful birds. I hope to get to see them in real life some day.
They look red when they are flying over the ocean here in Honolulu
We have our version of life flight in Australia, along with another special service unique to Australia called the Flying Doctors service. I'm so glad you are able to help yours by buying these beautiful helicopters. Absolutely love them.
Great to see your dreams come together while also helping out the air evac community. Huge respect goes to both Aarons featured in this video and the rest of their team. I am looking forward to seeing what Joe and Thoroughbred Aviation does with Dave's Dauphin. 😎🚁
Dave, You're truly my #1 inspiration when it comes to business! you've got so much drive and energy it insane. I own a trucking company and fly a cirrus
Good on you Dave. I'm sure buying those choppers did more for the life flight than they get from all donations. Living in a rural area , they have saved countless lives.
Thank you. Thanks for showing just a small segment as to what we do as a medivac flight crew. I flew as a flight nurse for almost 12 year and am unable to now do to an injury but I miss it and miss flying so bad. Thanks again bro Keep up the great work.
Heros! Great to hear the stories of how these great machines help save lives!
So happy for you that you got your helicopter. That’s something I’ve always wanted to fly since I can remember. Flying in our old tri-pacer was a great time. But a helicopter that would be incredible. I hope that your 2023 year is much more than a successand that your blessings are met.
Congratulations! What a deal. You deserve this, you have earned it and you will do great things with it. I’m so happy for you. YOUR SMILE WAS REAL. YOUR HAPPINESS IS SHOWING 😊❤.
I can guarantee that I have helped load patients in both of these machines! I've been a volunteer fireman in northwest Ohio since 1982 and know the good that these birds have done for many many people! Congratulations on finally getting on (or two) of your own! I know you will treat them with the respect they deserve. Can't wait to see what you do with them! Keep up the great work 👍
Had a life flite land in my wet back yard and never left a mark. A few years later I was flown to hospital in one. I remember how surprised I was at just how smooth a ride it was. Super machine. Glad to see you found them in my home state.
Congrats Dave. Patience is a great thing sometimes and it paid off. Can’t wait to see the helicopter all fixed up 🙏🏼👍
You guys cease to amaze me. I'm a fixed wing pilot but have always been fascinated with helicopters. Congrats I look forward to the completed projects, my the games begin 👍🇺🇸
I had a ride in a life flight and not by choice. Just to hear the stories, the love for the Birds. You guys just bring this ol lady to tears all the time. Love you guys.
congrats - I have always loved French machines, starting with the Alloutte and then my all time favourite the Gazelle - have loved the Dauphin because it just looks so good and this week I had the honour of flying in its bigger brother, the AH-155 - what a beast!
I've watched them helicopter's flying around northwest Ohio my whole life.. people i know have rode in them and people i know have made landing zones for them. Awesome to see them live on through you.
As a Flight For Life recipient, please thank all those who serve in those situations that you come across, and two those who serve that watch this channel, I thank you all.
I know Heavy D will put this machine to good use helping people out because that is what he does. I am glad you found one, Heavy D!
May God bless you all.
WOW! This is sooooo cool, I've only ridden in helicopters in the Army and I loved it!! Good for you Dave, you deserve it. I know how hard you have worked in order to do this!
Brother I’m a Former Medic and Firefighter thank you for what you guys are doing! God Bless you guys and your family!
Hats off to the editing crew on this video excellent job you guys most people don't understand the amount of work it takes.
Again amazing job.
Dave you truly deserve this great find and your dream “ chopper” has been realized. Wishing you and your family ( extended fam too ) a blessed and wonderful 2023!
Always great content. Thanks for what you did for the folks in the california snow storm.
Watch the Sensors Heavy D the ones who don't wish to be known, can over ride & bring you down. Careful.....
@Tess Wrigley what are you even talking about?
@@corvette_jake7225 [DS] ?
Aaron is a hero. Thanks you for your services.
WOW!! Glad you found a way to turn a horrible situation into something REALLY positive!! Love the new helicopters!
Yeah thats funny if it woude hapen😂 but it aint gonna hapen i think cuz they are not realy close togedder😢
@@FamTech. what don’t you think is going to happen? Heavy D bought both of these helicopters. It’s all done.
Everything happens for a reason, has been my life’s motto. It seems to be fitting in this instance as well. By having gone through the AZ situation, and vlogged it, the helicopter (s) you were supposed to have came your way via Aaron. Who seems like a gem of a guy. BTW first class editing. Stay blessed.🌺
I've never been so jealous watching one of your videos! The fact that you guys flew them to my hometown of Lexington KY to have them customized is even better! Love everything you guys do and stand for! Keep the awesome videos coming!
Amazing video! Fantastic story and perfectly produced! Thanks for sharing and really looking forward to seeing them restored for their future use!
I love how enthusiastic he is about rotary aircraft, it’s a small community and there’s not many channels out there that highlight this branch of aviation, especially since he gets to show us the high end segment of powerful turbine helicopters.
HOORAY for those who fly flingwings!
That's awesome man - as a kid my dad was a minister but also ran on the volunteer fire department for decades and had a full on medivac landing zone set up in the parking lot and the local pilot was a Vietnam vet and I saw so many insane landings coming in hot and fast in the parking lot and local areas. Hope you all enjoy those beasts
You guys are heroes man I'm so proud of you guys car flying and rescuing people on their worst days much respect you guys and women
I know the Lifeflight one. Working fire and EMS south of toledo we this would be one of the birds we would call in. I have seen and been in and around that one quite a few times. That is a great find! Congratulation. I am glad it is going to a good home!
My first ride in a helicopter was a med flight. When I had my motorcycle accident. I wouldn’t mind a ride in one where I’m not dying. Lol. You guys are amazing. I really love what you do. And I hope you have fun with your new toys. 💜
Sparks you finally made it to my neck of the woods Detroit. It's so nice to see the excitement and smile on your face. Thank you so much to all the life flight crews for saving thousands of people we would have lost with out you. God bless you all. With love and great respect for what you do.
Detroit here as well!
I so love that you gave credit to these vehicles histories and the people that have saved lives within them❤
Congrats! Glad to hear it worked out this time, Surround yourself with good people... and great things happen!
They are blessed helicopters and come with guardian angels. God Bless you guys for all the help you give 🍻🤙🏻
you can say that again! got chills hearing the short stories from the pilots, those pilots and helis are blessed
not everyone that rides in them deserves to be saved
I'm mighty happy for you Dave...you deserve having your dreams come to fruition buddy !
Been in life flight myself on the receiving end, I truly do thank them for what they do for people that do need it. Awesome people that do amazing work
I live in this area as a firefighter and have personally been on the other end of the radio and landed both of those birds at scenes that were not pretty. They are a saving grace for our rural areas. As well as been in the blue one. Glad to see they're going to a good home!
I’m pretty sure I landed the first one before we well. Pretty cool yo see!
Those guys have saved my life on two different occasions I am thankful for these pilots
Pretty cool to see the life flight that I watched fly over all the time as a kid (grew up about 5 miles from the Bluffton airport) go on the have a great life with Dave!
I've been on a life flight ride. You all are awesome people. I am breathing today because of the awesome crew. Thank you.
I about fell over when seeing this video because I learned to fly at this airport and the person whose name appears on the side of the terminal taught me to fly in the 90s. A decade later, while working as CFI at this airport, I managed to get a few rides in these helicopters. Their sound was unmistakable and very unique. Great video and glad to see these helicopters are still flying.
Congratulations! I know how much you wanted this to happen. Enjoy,be safe and God Bless you in all of your endeavors!!!
You rock. I’m so happy for you and Diesel with how far you guys have grown over the years
A Coast Guard Veteran here. When my recruiter asked me what was my reason of wanting to join. I looked at him and told him the Dolphin and the noise from the rear rotor. I felt in love with it. I flew on them every chance I had. Wish I was still active duty. A very very strong work horse. Enjoy my man. If I lived closer to you I'd be over to watch an hear them.
Such an awesome new machines to the fleet and it's amazing to see how dave works his way and gets what he wants..
Good for you!! You deserve the best!! Thank you to all who fly to save lives!!❤
i have a hunch they'll keep on helping people out, nothing but respect Dave...
Amazing.
To own a Dauphin and a Blackhawk both is INSANE. Props to you Mr. Sparks, love to watch your journey! Keep going.
It's al about himself and the money!
Sparks and the boys are always helping people to I'm sure these helicopters, at least Dave's will continue to help in recoveries and disaster relief!
The editing in this video is supreme. That intro was done so well. The cuts, sound design, story. All of it
This is so awesome I am so very happy for you and the law father. I know the are going to good homes and that they are being saved and not scraped way to go. It's so cool to know you were in Ohio. I live next door in Pa.
This was a fantastic video to watch. Congratulations. You all deserve this. Well done.
The Dauphin is such an incredibly versatile and capable helicopter, congratulations on your new purchases!
Isn’t the Blackhawk superior? If you know what’s the difference in capabilities? To be clear I know nothing about these just an honest question
@@ericstone8812 In terms of raw power and size, yes the blackhawk is the superior. The Dauphins are slightly smaller making them more capable at doing things like a stationary hover at 50 foot. The coast guard uses these exact models to rescue people from ships in the Bering sea.
@@sethstaley17 Thanks man. I know the capabilities of Coastguards copters just didn’t know what model it specifically was. If that’s the case I very much understand his enthusiasm as those are extremely durable rugged and reliable machines. ✌
Dude. Your film crew kills it every time man. Love that wide angle on the heli clip. 👌
I live in a rural part of south central Michigan. Life Flight was the first air ambulance to service our area. Due to our location, we now have access to about 4 different services from different trauma centers. Our local hospital is decent, but many have joked that it's best asset is the Heli-pad!
