Name them Daulf and Phina
Could of stopped in Cuba missouri and gave me a ride for my birthday lol
@heavydsparks when are you getting a Alpha CH-46 like North Carolinas beloved pedro rip lol
Great looking bird!!
U flip the bird like a 12 year old girl lol
Parking your Dauphin next to your Blackhawk is one heck of a flex!
A different level of flex
Reminds me of scene in, I am legend. Such a beautiful bird.
He deserves it for sure.....💪💪💪
What does bro even do? How did he get there?
@@BMXfreak92 Not the P Diddly way.
as a fellow heli pilot, i salute you brother. well done. RIP to all the camera men left behind on this trip.
Wtf you mean? Camera men never die.
@@wood8577they don't, they teletransport to the other destination and waits for the helicopter there
Windscreen cleaning 101 from a 16 year veteran working GA operations. When clean a windscreen (not a windshield) one does not clean in circles. This causes swirls in the glass, causing a halo effect. Over time hard to see out because of the refraction of light. The correct way to clean a windscreen is vertically, straight lines from the top of the windscreen to the bottom, or bottom to top.
What if you wiped horizontally?
Love the Dauphin and your great content. I am an ex-Coast Guard aviator and spent many hours aloft in your recent acquisition. Unfortunately cancer has clipped my wings so thank you for letting me live vicariously through your eyes, ears and feet which used to feel very comfortable on those rudder pedals. Please keep the adventures coming! Jay
Delta guy here.
Best of luck with your treatment🙏🏼
@@Natedz Thank you!
With all these planes and all i wonder how long before HeavyD buys an airport to store all of his and his buddies planes and helicopters.
people would fly there just to see heavyd and the crew lol
Something very much like that happened with a friend of mine here in Florida! He started out with powered paraglider's, then gets himself a helicopter, next thing we know he buys a big chunk of land just north of me puts up a huge hangar building shed and is now building and modifying and painting helicopters and I think he's up to having two or three of his own LOL.
his shop is right there in woods cross ut at the airport--he has a retail shop there and you can stop in anytime
"Today on OffTheRanch, me and HeavyD buy an abandon airport."
That would be awesome.
To me the Dauphin may be the most beautifil helicopter out there overall...but that Blackhawk OMG!
To me, the only helicopter that competes on looks with the Dauphin is the Bell 222 and family.
does he still have the black hawk ?
@@littlebigkickeryupp
@@Brian_Puma oktyvm havent seen thats all for a while
Personally my favorite helicopter is the old Magnum PI helicopter.
MD500D. As far as looks go that’s my favorite. I’m sure that there are better helicopters out there.
But based purely on looks I have to go with TC’s 🚁 helicopter.
Hey Mate, great video. Just a friendly tip at 20:25 when cleaning the helicopter windscreen. Instead of wiping it in circles, try up and down motion because if the windscreen is getting scratched, they are vertical line scratches not horizontal. Learnt this tip at my Helicopter Flying school who also have a large fleet of squirrels for Power Line inspections here in Australia and horizontal scratches can make spotting of powerlines difficult. Hope this helps and love the helicopter content, always very inspiring.
Glad someone said this. As soon as I saw the circular motion I was like EWWWW NOOOOO!!!!!
Being a Coast Guard Veteran I do love the sound of the Dolphin Helo's! A very distinct sound always made my ears perk-up when I'm at the beach.
Same, as a DWO on a 378 I loved doing Helo OPS watching the Dolphin fly off the deck of the ship.
AirstaMia what company were you in?
Hamilton 715 from 92-94
DAUPHIN!! Pronounced DO-FAN or DOUGH-FAN Its French. Dauphin 2 this type was Operated in the Search & Rescue role over here in Ireland with the Irish Air Corps. The Irish Air Corps is the Military Aviation Element of the Irish Defence Forces.
Called them whistlin shitcans before the faring swap stopped that distinct sound.
💯 one of the coolest helicopters out there. 20 years wrenching and crewing them in the Coast Guard 👍🏼 congrats @HeavyDSparks
I’m a great grandmother but love watching Dave and his crew, always fun and something new going on.
Grandma Jo cook how ya doing
@85testarossa22 great grandmothers can be 50 because slag runs in the family in many cases.
Who told you you're great?? We just gotta take your word for it?
I have 2 great's myself, and a pilot, or was.. I am out of my medical. But I do like my wings being still, not flapping around
Im a russian spy and I too love watching this man.
As a helicopter flight mechanic in the Coast Guard who works on these everyday. It is cool to see dave and the team love the 65! It is an awesome aircraft with many different capabilities and I’m sure they will love it for a long time!
Our local trauma center flew these and they have such a distinctive sound. I can recognize it instantly. Back in the 90's many of the pilots were Viet Nam vets and were amazing. The nurses and flight MD's were the best of the best. It was always a thrill to watch them land on some random road or highway. Sadly, I don't have "good" memories associated with them, as the scenes were usually very traumatic. I would say "vivid" memories. I know they saved countless lives and they were your best chance of making it in a truly awful situation. Glad this one will live on in "retirement".
I've seen Augusta/Eurocopter/Airbus Dauphin helicopters with over 15,000 hours on the air frame. Hands down, one of the best civilian helicopters ever built.
Our local Medivac units use to fly the Dauphin 24/7, 365 days a year. With the increases in medical gear constantly added, they are being phased out for the AugustaWestland/Leonardo 139.
The Dauphin is a Aérosatiale helicopter only, nothing to do with Augusta.
But Aérospatiale made the Lynx with Westland, which then became Augusta Westland.
Ok it's safe to say someone needs to set up an intervention for heavy D this mans got a helicopter buying problem 😂
But how good it is!
We all care for Heavy D, but if we really care, we can't step in with an intervention until he has a ch-47 and an ah-64. Anything else is an unnecessary purchase🤣🇺🇲🇺🇲
@@thelonewrangler1008 Damn it now I wanna see him fly the AH-64 good point we hold off on the intervention untill after he makes that purchase 😂🤣
@@thelonewrangler1008 **cough** Ospray **cough**
Heavy D collects helicopters like transwomen collect shoes..
Applaud to the editors of this. Nicely done, loved the music pause before mounting the heli. Hats off to you, this was pleasant to watch.
I rode in one of them helicopters as a patient. I don’t remember much. But I do know it saved my life. The whole crew from the helicopter visited me a few weeks later in the hospital room I was in. Can’t thank them enough for what they did for me and what they do for others.
Did you or your insurance pay for the ticket, if I might ask?
@@wood8577 not at first, I was sent a bill like 2-3months later for 117k, just for the life flight. Then I sent in my insurance information and it dropped to 8k lol. And yes I paid it off. Cause when this happened medical bills affected your credit. Now they do not.
Petition to call this helicopter Belle Dauphin
😂😂😂😂
@@chrismarinaccio4981that’s the point, it’s sounds like Belle Delphine
🤣🤣🤣
Had enough people in it I guess
@@SafexscapeI’d bet money on that lmao
It's amazing how much the movie Tommy Boy still gets quoted. RIP Farley.
@HeavyDSparks I used to work EMS in northern ohio and that blue airframe is absolutely a legend in that world. 93SV responded to scenes i called them on. That Dauphin sound was always nice to hear orbiting a wreck on the turnpike or some other critical incident. I was so sad when Mercy went to the Augustas but I am also so excited to see these two warriors getting a second life. This makes my day
As a former Toledo Ohio resident this brings back memories! I used to watch N293SV takeoff and land at the local hospitals. Did you know your new bird was previously owned by Penn State Hershey Medical Center and also saved lives through MercyHealth in Toledo? N293SV was one of the classic birds in MercyHealth Life Flight’s fleet. I used to see this bird all the time. Loved the video! Thanks for giving these birds a new home!
Great video who else thinks he needs a Huey ? 😂
The music clips he plays are from the vietnam Huey days
Ch-47 chinook
Huey with machine gun still fitted 🇺🇲
and a Mi-8 , LOL
Bell 412 newer .
That Dauphin whine is so distinct gotta love it.
I love that you fly different types of helicopters. Each with their own unique handling. That's going to make you a much better pilot over time.
You guys are my hero's! Doing all the things so many of us wished we could do.
The guys did a beautiful job refurbishing the helicopter. Thing that I noticed immediately was the detail on the surfaces in control areas.
Because of everything I've been through in the last year, I've started making a bucket list. Flying in a helicopter is at the top of my list. I think it's so cool that you bought these, tricked them out and are flying them. Awesome.
It's a cool experience. Flew in one over the Grand Canyon.
It's definitely a awesome fun experience. We got to see all the Christmas lights in the city and up the canyon and back to the airport. It was great. Couldn't complain it was also free lol.
Great experience, flew over the Swiss alps. You get some unbeatable views, wherever you fly
I stumbled across your channel yesterday and I am so thankful I did. Your show is amazing but what you so selflessly do for others is so inspiring. If the world had more people like you and your team it would be a much better place. I cried like a baby watching you recover the gentleman’s remains off the side of the mountain in Oregon and I just wanted to say thank you and God bless you and your team. The Lord will bless you for all your blessings you give others!!
Thanks for taking us along on the flight. Love the views. God Bless. ❤🙏
What a magnificent country we have .
It will be better with Biden gone and inflation lower.
Love your vids and as a pilot myself I"m envious of your growing collection of aircraft. If you ever get yourself a Little Bird, though, my envy will become outright jealousy. Love your work and fly safe fellas.
Congratulations! Well deserved. You live an amazing life!! Glad your hard work is paying off for you and your family!!
Thanks for sharing Dave. i am a former USCG AND USAF SAR PILOT. MY AIR CREWS AND I WORKED ALONG THE OREGON AND WASHINGTON STATE COASTLINE AOR . WE HAVE BEEN ON MANY MISSIONS USING THE DOLPIN AND BLACKHAWK. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. HOO YAAA
Diesel Dave is just the best.
I love the drop down steps that say no step.
I thought the same at first, but I wonder if that's just a warning to not step on that one hinged piece in the back, not in reference to the whole step itself.
You don't step in the back, it bends and can damage the step actuator
I love watching every success story Dave it makes the journey so rewarding for you. Its wonderful you can do this journey.
Great Video guys!!! You and your crew do so much for so many people that you deserve all the blessings in life, weather your helping to recover a boat that almost sank at Lake Powell or when you organized a crew to come up to our local mountains in Big Bear this year to help so many folks that were stranded in their homes due to the snow.. You guys are awesome!!!! Keep making these awesome videos wish you all and your guys the best in life.....
If you're looking for Hans haters, you won't find one here. Hans in an amazing asset and valued member of your team. I genuinely appreciated his interview on the Heavy D Podcast. Keep up the great work!
Weird not seeing them flying over NW Ohio anymore... Glad they have a good home
Used to see it flying from Bluffton to Van Wert to Lima.
In the same area. I was wondering where they went lol. At least they got a decent home. Now it’s just the H135 euros skid rocking potato looking birds around here. Though the power company is rocking a nice bell 407
Hey! Nice shots of my favorite reservoir for camping & fishing. That view of the mountains makes the trip worth it every time, and it's only better from the air. Enjoy the new bird!
seeing u fly this is just amazing, inspirational. congrats
I've never flown on a Dauphin, but it sure seems like a sweet bird! No wonder there are so many HEMS outfits that have used this machine over the years. Enjoy your newest helicopter, guys!
They should have kept the 365”C” model going for HMS work. When you land the “N” on soft ground (frequently required for HMS work) the wheels sink in. The “C” had skids.
I’ve only flown in Astar there pretty cool too and quick
Dave’s Fortunate Son vibes are incredibly reckless… I love it!
Nice. Great helicopter to keep around. You give utility a whole new meaning.
HeavyD couldn't be living my dream any harder. I'm going for my cpl start of next year. Can't wait to join the club of amazing people in aviation and see the world from the best seat on earth
Great to see y'all again Happy and safe Sunday brothers 👊🙏🇺🇸😁😎
Ive been waiting for months for this video. Congratulations.
Always loved seeing that helicopter fly over the farm here in NW Ohio when it did hospital transports and flying to trauma scenes.
I’ve flown in that N293SV a few times as a volunteer firefighter in northwest ohio. Saint Vincent’s hospital In Toledo Ohio had a fly along program for first responders. The crew was amazing. Seen a few people having a very bad day in that bird. Good helicopters! 👍
I truly admire your ambition and just how you chase after your dreams!!! This is awesome and should set a fine example for all to follow. We all have different dreams, but we are the only thing that hold us back…..if you want it, go get it!
Congrats on the new wings. You sure do show your love of flying. Very cool machines.
Definitely looking forward to seeing you get some more content with that thing!😊
I appreciate the trickle down effect your purchases have throughout the country.👏👏
Thank you for sharing.
As a Deputy, I had occasion to call for UW Madison Med Flight. At the time, they used Dauphins. They Scream when approaching!! Loved it!!
What an amazing way to see the country! Awesome video!
When you pick up the other one, not sure if its allowed, but it would be cool if you could put camera mounts on the exterior like you did the Blackhawk for the trip home. Great video!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. That baby is sleek.
Difference between this, the N1, N2 and M3 Dauphin's are the fenestron tail rotor. This has 13 blades, N1/N2 has 11 blades and N3 has 10 blades. Engines are also different between each model, this one having the Arriel 1C which is basically an early AStar engine. Your birds are awesome, glad to see them get a new lease on life
The Dauphin has always been my favorite sounding roto wing aircraft.
My brother said he saw you guys flying over head in SLC! Nice work!
"Another cool thing about this helicopter is that it has drop down steps" but the "step" says "No Step". Love it!
Back in 1990 i took a ride in the Maryland State Police Dauphin medic vac when I broke my neck…15 minute ride to Baltimore from western Maryland!!!! Respect
RIP to all the camera men left behind on this trip
When he flipped the cameraman off at the hotel, I died!
@thejunkyard5695 so true
GLAD TO SEE EVERYONE TAKING CARE OF THEIR HELIOS
❤ loved this episode! It all intrigues me and although I love to see the "blooper" moments I also really like seeing heavy D when he's focused doing smart people stuff. Great content yall!
I am retired and have about 12 years in the 365 N1 & N2. The most fluid with finger touch twin that I have ever flown. All rescue and medevac work. the 365 was smooth, quick, and most dependable, Of course U need a lot of coin for schedule maintenance. 3000 hrs in this aircraft and it was sweet.
Awesome helicopters, they sound so unique...congrats!
as a fellow heli pilot, i salute you brother. well done
ALWAYS a treat to adventure with you guys!!! THANK YOU, BE SAFE, GOD BLESS. 🙏😍😍😍😍😍
That is a beautiful dolphin inside and out. Love the colors. Since you have one of those and not many still in use you will be noticed.
Probably not as much as the Blackhawk. I have ALWAYS liked the Blackhawks.
Thanks for sharing your this flight with us.
When they left the hotel and Dave just flips off the camera I about lost it laughing 😂😂
Happy Birthday Hans. I don't care what anyone says you are one of my favorite persons on Dave's team. You look tired, maybe Dave is working you too hard.
Hands is my favorite too!! Idk what it is about him but I just love him! & him pulling up in that car had me in tears!!
@@hayleeedwards3072wow you cry easily 😂
@@mwatkins2464 lmao I think I related it to my cousin who bought a hoopty just because & me & my best friend took a spin in it & we were in the floorboard dying laughing bc of all the ragged noises 😝😂
@@hayleeedwards3072 that’s funny 😂🙏
Congrats on the bird Dave! And happy birthday Hans!
That car really just cracked me up! Thank you I needed that laugh after a rough night at work. You guys just ROCK!
Congratulations on getting the beautiful BlueBird safely home!
Need more aviation content!
Dave, props to you and your well deserved successes bro !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the sound of the Fenestron rear fan !!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on your mission. MUCH LOVE
i feel like the next video gonna be a wild one for how chill and zen this one was
Sparks Heli Skiing all day long!
💯👍
That was fun to watch... I'll be sure to note Ray FBO courtesy cars! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see what's next.
OMG D, The orange and white bell jet ranger 206 N67874 you walked by entering the hanger, I flew that helicopter at Fort Rucker in 2007 during my basic warfighting skills course (BWS before going Blackhawk).. How freaking cool!!! 153DB Retired U.S. Army
Always a good day when HeavyD uploads
One of the greatest trophy garage in the world!
I enjoyed the bird getting hot gas (refuel while running engines). Brought back fond memories of hot gas in Iraq. We would fly all day, hot gas numerous times, and only shut the bird down at the end of the day when the missions were complete. This was with the great UH-60, but hot gassed with the legendary UH-1 also. Even got hot gas from a C-5 once. Fly safe, fly smart. Love you machines, and the content.
"Duchess". Perfect name for the second perfect helo. The Satin Doll is still #1.
Man of the hour with my dream team👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎
The best part was driving a car about to blow up to get into your helicopter 😂😂
Sweet ride. 10 years flight dispatch / planning with some major U.S. carriers here and private pilot. Had a mentor once tell me once you get Jet - A in your blood its hard to turn back and ive found that to be very true. Ive always wanted my rotorwing endorsement. Enjoy!!!
As a long time luster of being a heli pilot. The Dolphine has always been my unicorn. You having one and just seeing it. I'm like, so pumped for you.
I’d really like to know how much revenue needs to be generated to support Dave’s life
I'm sure he makes more than he spends leasing his helicopters not sure if he does but most aircraft owners do to be able to fly for free or very cheap
Well let's see. He's got a net worth of about $8 million. One of his companies does sales around $30 million a year. He has numerous companies and partnerships... I think he's doing ok. Not bad for a self-made millionaire.
Dude the ammount of cash you must have in the coffers to run 2 dolphins and a Blackhawk must be insane. To strip them down to the frames and have everything redone is staggeringly expensive. Cudos.
UA-cam money and sponsors. I'm sure he's paid well.
Half of the video is an advertisement or a contest you have to buy something to be entered into a drawing to be entered into a contest that needs 10,000 subscribers to be eligible to even happen.
@@shanew7361 he is definitely paid extremely well. A used Blackhawk ranges from 15 - 40 million depending on the options.... a retrofit of that helicopter is another several million if you strip it down to the frame and repaint it.
A used dolphin is between 2 - 4 million. Before a retrofit.
Insurance, maintenance, storage (like a hanger) fuel etc are also all tremendously expensive... especially the maintenance part.
Rollin in cash.
Always such a treat watching your videos and learning!
Great bird Dave. Nice treating Hans for his b-day. Thank you for sharing.👍Happy for you. Don't leave the keys in. Be ware of the bare foot bandit 🙂🙂🙂
If you ever do a "what should we built" project for a helicopter or airplane, an Airwolf clone would be crazy. 😎
Personally, I'd like to see something that hasn't been done yet! For example, if it is even possible to build a VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) that could handle a lot of cargo and passengers while being able to handle at least a couple of times the speed of sound! Guess if that wouldn't impress every single one!!!
Classy Heavy D. It's so nice to see our younger mature generation taking life by the reins. Well done-
When I joined the U.S. Coast Guard, in 1987, your Dauphin was brand spanking new. It took over for the Coast Guard Pelican. I LOVE that helicopter. Dauphins are cool too. 😮 😊 😂 ❤
How friggin cool was that?! Had no idea you guys flew copters. I'm a retired USAF Air traffic controller currently working/controlling in Saipan. So it's great to watch your show again with different and content that surprised the heck outta me! Subscribed and looking forward to future content. Excellent!
i started watching you when i first found out about diesel brothers and i truly love your content
To further comment, the CG Dauphine is the H-65 either A,B or C. The C has the ability to do inverted maneuvers!
Stopped in Carmi IL! Love it!!! Old stomping grounds. Bet they had never seen one of those without a stretcher in it! Love the videos!
