Taking a helicopter to pick up a new plane | Hughes 369 trip

  • This was a very exciting trip for myself and my new 'plane friend', Nick Buckley. After taking him up in a Mainair Eurostar in January 2019, Nick bought his own. The only issue was that Juliet Romeo was based in a danger area near Salisbury and he needed to bring it home. This is part 1 of our adventure bringing her back to Arclid International Airfield in Cheshire. Part 2 features a tour of Kemble airfield and our remaining three legs to Arclid via Halfpenny Green and Otherton.

    Great vid. Nick is a lucky guy. Lots personal cues for me. I fly from Clench Common immediately north of the Danger Area. You can hear and feel the artillery when they are firing. Have flown the white horses many times. Even flown in a Hughes 500 several times when working in Canadian Arctic many moons ago.

    • @RoryOnAir
      @RoryOnAir  5 років тому

      MrAlwaysBlue nice one - plenty to relate to then! I bet the firing is pretty amazing - as long as you’re out of range!

    Wow, so much packed into 24 mins, a great boys and their toys episode. Subscribed to Ben.
    Nick thinks "you can be his wingman any time!"

    • @RoryOnAir
      @RoryOnAir  5 років тому

      Mikey's wings across the sky ha ha - live it! It was a job to edit it down but I think it gives a sense of our day up to Kemble. Ben’s videos are great so I’m glad you’ve subscribed to him too. See you for part 2.

    Loved this episode Rory. It was particularly good to see Dunkeswell and Kemble again as I last saw them on my qualifying cross country from Compton Abbas. Can't wait for part 2.

    • @RoryOnAir
      @RoryOnAir  5 років тому

      Roger Maynard that’s cool Roger. I hope I have pronounced Dunkeswell correctly? Is it dunks-well or dunk-es-well?

    Great video. I chartered a Hughes 500 at Shoreham eons ago for my sisters 21st. It was nice of you to jog my old memory. I wondered whether Ben would feature when you mentioned Kemble. He’s another UA-camr I’m enjoying on my daily commute...

    • @RoryOnAir
      @RoryOnAir  5 років тому

      Jed Wigmore thanks Jed and I’m delighted to be able to jog happy memories. I’ve been chatting to Ben since he started his channel so it was great to catch up with him. I’m sure we’ll do more stuff together.

    Hi Rory.
    Can’t believe I missed you at Otherton airfield where I’m currently learning to fly.
    I’ll have to pop into Barton once I complete my training this summer. Hop I can maybe catch you there at some point for a quick coffee.
    Your videos have been a great encouragement. Awesome video.

    • @RoryOnAir
      @RoryOnAir  5 років тому

      Roger Clarke thanks Roger. It would be good to meet you at Barton so definitely make a trip and let me know on Facebook. We were only at Otherton for a few minutes but I’ve been meaning to drop in there for a while. Good luck with the flying.

    I see a Hughes 500 helicopter and think of the baddies in The A Team or Airwolf. I think Lizi could be tempted if you got that PA46

    • @RoryOnAir
      @RoryOnAir  5 років тому +1

      Adrian Arnold yeah, I think there is one in a Nicholas Cage film called ‘wings of the Apache’ flown by the baddie. And yeah, I’m sure I’d get a few offers of passengers if I had the PA46!

    Last time I was lucky enough to have a go in a Helo was on ferry trip with dad and a friend to pick up a Cessna in a Scout. Happy days - 1990s. Around Thruxton, Old Sarum etc is some restricted and interesting airspace.
    I was very impressed with how you guys dealt with the first leg, exciting times! Good support from you Rory. I'm familiar with Kemble, busy place these days. Nice you met up with Ben.
    Looking forward to next installment.

By the way congratulations on qualifying as a helicopter pilot, that is some achievement. UA-cam is keeping me sane at the moment. All the best! 👍🏻
