Helicopter Nose View: Wenatchee to Hillsboro, full length with Music
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Looking for something to play on the TV in the background while you gather around for the holidays? Something that isn't a ball game or Hallmark Holiday movie? I've got you covered! Here is the full length nosecam video of my July 2012 flight from Wenatchee, WA to Hillsboro, OR.
This is one of my earlier efforts and lacks the cockpit POV or narration you'll find in other videos on this channel. Instead, it's just the entire 1 hours and 22 minutes of my direct flight, from takeoff at a friend's house in Wenatchee Heights to landing at Hillboro Airport. Along the way, you'll pass over forests hillsides, snow-covered mountains, craggy peaks, fogged-in valleys, lakes, rivers, and farmland. You'll get a good look at Mt. Rainier in the distance and a much closer look of Mt. St. Helens, which I fly right by. I've added music from UA-cam's royalty free library, but if you don't like it, turn down the sound and listen to your own music.
Any way you watch it, I hope you enjoy it.

About Me and the Helicopter
• I have been flying for about 20 years. My nearly 4,000 hours of flight time is in Robinson R44, Robinson R22, and Bell 206L (Long Ranger) helicopters.
• The helicopter is a 2005 Robinson R44 Raven II -- the same one that appears at the beginning of the video. You can learn more about them here: robinsonheli.c... I own this helicopter. It is the second helicopter I've owned since 2000.
About the Video
• The video was recorded with a GoPro Hero 3 camera mounted on the helicopter's nose with a proprietary mount.
• The video was edited on a iMac using Davinci Resolve 16 software. Learn more about it here: www.blackmagic...
• The intro music is by Bob Levitus, famed "Dr. Mac." You can find him here: www.boblevitus....
I TRY (really!) to drop cockpit POV videos on Sunday mornings and "extras" with more info about owning and operating a helicopter midweek. (Some channel members get early access to some of these videos.) I also host occasional livestreams with Q&A chats. SUBSCRIBE and turn on the notification bell so you don't miss anything new! And tell your friends. I'm trying hard to deliver good videos and grow my subscriber base.
Some links on my channel are affiliate links, including all links to Amazon (amzn.to/32PLHTD) and MyPilotPro (mypilotpro.com.... If you click one of them and buy something, I get a small referral reward. It doesn't cost you anything so I hope you'll shop with one of those links. Thanks.
_"Something that isn't a ball game or Hallmark Holiday movie?"_ - indeed!
I'm a couple of days, picking this one up, though it's working quite well, for this Sunday (26th), late morning, coffee, and cinnamon-spirits, with snow frosted conifers, surrounding me. Many thanks @Maria, cheers!
Beautiful Flight as always Maria...!
That was absolutely wonderful.
Thank you!
Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holiday's Maria!!!
Merry Christmas! Have a safe & happy time with your loved ones.
Nice pace to the music and visual. Thanks, Ronn
HEY, MARIA JUST Wanted to stop By And
Wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's
And I've really appreciate and enjoyed
Your videos and the channel and realized
How much time, effort and personal sacrifying
You put in to it so thank you take care stay safe God bless and will see you on the next video project
thank you very much, May your Christmas day be Great.
Wat a magnificent blast from the past for this Pacific NW native and child of the Cascades. Crossing the Crest via Goat Rocks was a definite highlight. My only regret was that you passed to the east of St. Helens, but I'm fully aware of the flight restrictions on the northern side and around the caldera, so the choice is understood. For what it's worth, the "dream flight" I hope to see one day will be another installment of "Nick Over the Rocks", circumnavigating the Stuart Range from Malaga... ;)
Lovely video and images just the music made me full asleep ☺️
Beautiful video!
Love your channel so much I hope this channel has a lot of subscriber

Nice and Interesting.
1) a comment: For those non-helicopter riders watching, the swaying motion seen on the video is not really apparent when flying in a helicopter or light plane. While both the helicopter and camera are constantly moving, as a human you mostly "adapt", compensate and don't notice.
2) a question: Much of my flying was from Falcon Field, Mesa to Douglas Muni on the Mexican Border in a Cessna T210 at 5-8k AGL at ~ 150 kts. The route taken always had numerous nearby airfields in gliding distance. In this flight, AGL seems to be ~ 1k AGL and speed ~ 100kts, typical of light helicopter usage. While this gives a more detailed view of the ground and terrain, I could not see a lot of "set down" opportunities in the 1st 1/2 of the video, especially given the low glide ratios available. How do you deal with this?
Merry Christmas and thanks for the videos.
