During my time in the Army in BAOR, I tried to transfer to the AAC. I passed the eyesight and hearing tests on my own dime but my OC wouldn't allow my application to go through. I was over the age of 29 when I found out he should have not done that. By then it was too late. My fascination with helicopters is still going strong at 75yrs old!
Never got to fly in a Gazelle. Been in a Wessex, Wasp, Scout, Puma, Sea king. The best though was a trip in a Lynx in Germany. One of the pilots was the brother of an armourer I worked with & he came picked us up on the camp football pitch. Took us out doing dummy attack runs down fire breaks in a forest well below the minimum height he was allowed to. Basically he threw us about in the back & we fooking loved it! 😍
I've been to some fantastic Helicopter Displays held at the British Army Helicopter Air Base at Middle Wallop, where this Gazelle is based! Watching a Vulcan Bomber directly above us going vertical and hitting the afterburners was unforgettable! It wasn't so much that the ground shook, as the entire planet was shaking! Seeing Chinooks doing bunny hops on their rear wheels, and climbing aboard one of the first AH-64 Apache's to visit the UK were also unforgettable experiences! The young (21 I think he said) Apache Pilot said it was like a Ferrari in the sky, and he absolutely loved it! It was at Middle Wallop that I first saw German Helicopters with German military markings on them. Being Jewish, it felt odd seeing the same German military marking that their planes had during WW2! That odd feeling passed after chatting with the Crew who'd flown in to attend the Show. The Army Engineers erected a footbridge over the main road that separated the visitors car park from the Air Base! Every Airworthy Helicopter the military had were at the shows, and its where I saw the strange looking Skeeter and the amazingly fast and manoeuvrable Lynx! Gazelles performed breathtaking air displays and it was a marvellous show for Helicopter lovers.
Growing up in n.ireland ...this is the sound of my childhood...seemed like there was always one of these high in the sky above Derry everyday,even though it was the brits and grew up in a nationlist area..was always fascinated by the different helicopters overhead most days,gazelle wessex puma lynx and the odd chinook
Now at 60 l recall this 1970’s aircraft coming into service in my early teens as a pads brat, during my service along with the Scout and Lynx it was the preferred ride and in the hands of some of the best pilots it was better than any rollercoaster ride. May the “flying chicken leg” go on to serve longer than any other hardware the forces of today correct me but she’s has served longer than most soldiers and Generals have some 47 years.
Merry Christmas everyone 🎅 🎄

If choppers were judged solely on looks this would surely be number 1
One of the most nimble choppers ever
Just missing it’s Gatling gun off the front ‘Blue Thunder’ 😅

She's a beauty!🤗👍🏼🇬🇧
love these aviation short clips 🙌
Thanks Cobra! ENGLAND 🇬🇧
Class!
And happy Christmas!
Beautiful helicopter!
This beast has aged much better than I have! 😍
It's a fine machine! It's amazing how aircraft age better than us. 😂 🥰
Without the Gazelle, there wouldn't be no Blue Thunder
Brings back memories from N Ireland with Eagle patrols.
Awesome video and Merry Christmas !!
Nice one 🐍merry Christmas @ happy new year 🎅🎅👍👍👍
Good job 😍

I 'fly' 3 Helo's in DCS. The 342 is the most fun. For what it's worth.
Well he certainly noticed and put on a show for you, that's for sure. No coincidence he lined it up with you multiple times..
What are the poles sticking out the fuselage any ideas?
Used for putting on cameras or lights(nightsun) etc.
Fiat
Apache is one of my favourite helicopter 🥰🥰
