This brings back memories. I spent my first 2 summers out of high school running a nurse rig for a man who sprayed crops with a 47G-2A. That was 1980 & ‘81.
You will see this more often than you think when a helicopter is kitted out specifically for one job. The reason is that when you’re spraying, weight preference is biased towards the product and your flights are short, so you don’t need fuel range. Usable fuel will be around 24 gallons which is well over an hour, manoeuvering like that nonstop for an hour is very tiring, believe me! The left one is the one removed as it’s the one on the pilot’s side, for balance.
My first job was loading fuel & AG chemicals into a Rockwell Thrush Commander, and even w a 600 hp radial (T-6 engine), we had to choose either full fuel or 350 gallons in the hopper. Spray season was hot AF, so max weight was very critical. Bell 47 has much less hp to work with, so every pound they can shave off counts. Noticed it too & figured it might be a weight saver.
Love the thud thud sound of the rotor blades makes

Magyarországon már elfogytak a Kamovok? ☺
I start with that one in SimCopter
I think the air filter on that Bell 47 needs to be cleaned.
Nice. The sound of peril in so many spy movies.
А мені цей вертоліт подобається, просто клас!
Muy buena performance del Bell aunque el Antonov lo supera con soltura , gracias x el video , saludos .
Antonov no creo kamov si pero da igual toda la razon
Show 😎😎😎
Disculpas ... digo Kamov ...
Me gusta ese modo de fumigar
ഞാൻ എപ്പോഴും ഓർക്കാറുണ്ട് ഇ bell 47 ഹെലികോപ്ടർ ഞാൻ പഠിച്ച സ്കൂൾ ഡ്രിൽ ഗ്രൗഡിൽ പരത്തി ഇറക്കാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ എന്ത് രസമായിരിക്കും.
Why carry passenger ?? When you could ease the weight on the unit ?? Less stress ? Hmm
This is Helicopter.
⚘🌹❤👍
Only one fuel tank? Never seen that before.

Bell 47 flight july07
What's the smoke blast for? Marking purpose?
Yes, when he wanna modify something, or go around, he gonna now where to continue
As an Ag pilot myself, we use the smoke to have a visual reference of wind direction and speed to understand how much drift the spray might have. 👍🏻
well, the thing at least looks the same...
Windy Wagner it is the same model.
The tv series mash used the 47 d1
wait... he's the little bugger from mash!!!
