Thanks Jerry. I spent two Med Cruises with the 46 and always wanted to hear the in-cockpit transmissions. The pilots and aircrews were always the best.
We maintain and fly this aircraft every second weekend of the month at West Houston airport Hangar C-1. We will be out this weekend 2/8/2020. Tell the gate attendant (if there is one) that you are going to C-1. Drive straight down to "Charlie" and turn right. You'll see us. We would love to have him come out.
Those aren’t pilots cuz they’re not wearing jump suits.and the rotors were briefly engaged then cut. Probably a crew chief in the pilots seat and the rest bubble chasers or jet mechs, testing for leaks.They’re hooked up to a flight line power supply.
@@markdresslar20 those are definitely pilots. I don’t think enlisted marines are ever authorized to actually turn the thing up. Pretty sure it’s in the 4790.2
Okay, who is in the lefthand seat?....... There's an O-5 flying co-pilot and the guy in the commander's seat has already admitted "it's been a while" as the O-5 is coaching him through procedure. Some Admiral (brown boots)? or a Navy Captain?......and a host of support staff feeding all kinds of aircraft system data to the two up front. Was this a "lame" '46 going for one final flight? A Flag Officer "joy ride"? Yea, I'm on to this...
The CH46 has a rotor brake that keeps the rotors from turning until it is released by the pilots. It's necessary for efficient shipboard operations. On these helicopters, we start both of the engines before engaging the rotors. It's a much quicker run-up. On helicopters without a rotor brake, the rotors start to turn slowly when the engine is cranking and increases as the engine RPM increases.
@@suryatejas3013 More like the brake in a car. When you push on the brake with the car in drive but the wheels still don't turn because you are depressing the brake.
@@suryatejas3013Most helicopter gas turbine engines have what’s called a free-spinning power turbine. The This keeps the drive shaft to the rotors separate from the actual core of the engine. This allows the engine itself to be started without having to spin the rotor. That way you have more power available to start the rotor.
This is from the crew seat of a retired USMC CH 46. We are a bunch of old Marine pilots and crew who maintain and fly this old bird. We train for SAR in the Houston TX, area and we attend events and airshows. This video specifically is from a training day a few months ago. The aircraft belongs to the National U.S. Armed Forces Museum located in Houston TX.
@@evileyes1775 that is awesome. Was showing this video to some former phrog guys at work yesterday. Was wondering who beside Columbia and state dept was still messing with these.
@@evileyes1775 How can I follow up with the tours, I would like to see this old bird once again. I was in one of the last classes to train to maintain this birds. We all knew we wouldn't do it for long and it was bittersweet to get to work on them.

I miss the Phrog so much. I have been searching for a video of start up and shut down forever. Thank you for the video.
Wow, that cockpit is much more modern than we had in the early '70s!!!
Yea , FMC?? Didn’t have those in my day.
My dad flew these in Vietnam. He’s 100% disabled from Agent Orange. We’re in the Houston area and I’d love to take him to see it.

This is awesome to see and brings back so many wonderful memories from my time flying this fun aircraft! Hoorah H-46!
I was in a Navy H-46,,, however, I did deploy with the Marines on USS Wasp in 1995.
@Jimbo It is a shame that they did away with them...they were so much fun and so much faster when it came to maneuvering.
You’re not making that comparison to the Sikorsky CH-53 are you?
WOW. Flashbacks to my time in HMM-162 (70'S)
I don't remember it ever being that quiet in a Phroggie. From D & F models to the E and SR&Ms, that was almost like a simulator.

That reminds me of the good old days of HMM 362
I just figured out the remote control for my tv.
WOW. Flashbacks to my time in HMM-162m (70'S).
Great vid! Awesome audio. I miss it very much.
My best year in the Corps was with HMM-165.
Yes this i what I want to drive on day
So many memories
HMM-165 / HMX-1
Thanks for posting it :)
I was a 6112 and AG.

It came out of the boneyard
Why does the rotor start spinning so fast in the beginning, unlike other helicopters? Please tell.

@@evileyes1775 It is similar to a clutch in a car, right?

What's the story behind this video?

I wish I could could still be a troubleshooter on the flight line for this baby. 2011, 13th meu

Must be Navy guys, no gloves, wearing bracelets and PCL in the map case on startup...LOL
