    The "part time pilot" put the skids on the middle of the uprights of the H as if he was parking a very small car in a very big parking space. Man those skills are something else!, Much respect to you sir! :-)

    I'm a crew chief on a 1969 model UH-1H our department has that we use for search and rescue, woodland firefighting and personnel movement. She was called "Crazy Horse" and served in Vietnam. We played host to several of the pilots that flew her in combat. It was an honor and pleasure to meet and talk with these guys. What we use her for is child's play compared to their missions.

    Excellent video Mover. I'm retired with nearly 30 years in law enforcement and flying as a TFO was the most fun. I flew mostly in the OH-6 while on a narcotics task force in Southern California. Thank you for putting this together, especially for all the young people who aspire for a career in law enforcement.

Just a really refreshing change from most comments sections. So thanks to you and thanks to Brandon.

    So good. I actually got a speeding ticket from a helicopter. I pulled off the interstate to get gas when a State Trooper came up behind me and lit me up. He had a ticket already printed up with aerial photos and a description of my infraction. Those thick white lines you see on the interstate just at random? Those are speed tick marks. When you cross one they hit a stopwatch and time you to the next one, which corresponds to a chart that tells them exactly how fast you were traveling. 78 in a 65. It was only one point and a mail in ticket, but that revenue is what funds all those helicopters. They had a closeup photo of my plate on the ticket! Like you were standing there reading it. Crazy shit.

      @@1981troublemaker They don't have radar that can be operated from aircraft for speed enforcement. All the use is a gold ol fashion stop watch and two known distance fixed points on the ground. Usually painted white lines at fixed points, very common on interstates and are put there by DOTs specifically for speed enforcement from aircraft. The distance is the same no matter where at in the state they are. So when you see signs that say speed monitored by radar, it means radar from the ground. When you see signs that say speed monitored by aircraft, it means they are using time and distance equations. There actual stop watches and devices for law enforcement that has a spot to enter the distance and then when a vehicle passes the first point its started, and then stopped when it hits the second point. It automatically does the calculation and displays the speed.

This was a great glimpse into a side of aviation we all know is there, but never really have an idea how it works. I also note the theme, if you want it, go for it, and you can achieve it. This video like others are great motivators.

    Another awesome video Mover. That helo is in immaculate condition for its age. One of our sons is a former Naval Aviator. He flew the SH-60 then went on to be a flight instructor at Pensacola flying the Bell Jet Ranger. No offense to fighter pilots, but I believe a helicopter is a lot harder to fly. I fly the Bell 407 on my x-plane sim and love it! Troy’s landing on that platform was pretty impressive. Our son did an Iraqi Freedom deployment assigned to a Frigate. Not much room on the back of the smallest ship in the battle group to land a Seahawk either. He has a T-shirt that I love. It says, “Maverick Cant Hover”. Thanks again for a great video. Troy is a very humble guy and an asset to the law enforcement community. (Bill from Slidell).

I too could not afford it and assumed their would be no other way, besides the military. Your videos are proof that there is a way , and it can be done. Stay with it , if you cant afford it just be around the aircraft and get involved. Doors will open, just keep the faith.

    Nice interview with the Lt. Pilot and beautiful ariel footage. The map with GPS ident was wonderful to see in use and what a helpful piece of gear that is to help ground based units that can receive ariel footage.
