As a helicopter pilot myself - only one thing I would have done differently…that pizza box would have been put on the left seat for easy consumption!! Love your videos brother!! Fly safe.
Fun, fun. At 71, with some health issues, I cannot pass the physical anymore. I hold fixed and rotor wing certs, and miss the helo most. I flew for 30 years, out here in the west. I loved canyon carving in an R44. I owned an old Cessna 172 for a while, but never could afford a helo. One of my favorite things about helo, as apposed to fixed wing flying, is when you gotta pee, lol. Thanks for sharing.
rant to OP- re piloting ... im had a friend join military. became an attack heli pilot. now he travels the world driving heli (maybe cargo), but it's not stable work, that's why the travel
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO!! Im currently pursuing my CDL's & PPL's atm, and watching your videos just gets me more inspired to get in the air. Flying a helicopter for a pizza run and ending it with lunch on your own little private island? Now this man is LIVING !! Keep up the amazing content my brother , nothing but love and support from my end !!!
That is impressive! Here in Europe, in Germany, that would be unthinkable. There are so many rules and regulations here. Here, a helicopter is only allowed to land at aerodromes, with the exception of rescue helicopters. In Germany, it is generally forbidden to land outside of aerodromes. Under German law, there is a compulsory use of aerodromes. That's crazy. In the USA, there is still freedom. Best regards!
He gets permission from private land owners to land in their fields so it’s a little less free than it seems. He wouldn’t be able to do that without it.
There is sometimes freedom. There are tons of limits for national parks, national forests, wildlife areas, near critical infrastructure, in noise abatement areas, around animals, or crowds of people that complain, etc.
Beautiful views on a perfect sunny day! Your head band GoPro gives a great view of what you see as you do your observations. Really fun stuff and easy to watch because you have a really chilled approach to flying. Aviation is a real passion of mine. Keep up the great content! 👍
You inspire me to get a helicopter or Cessna to myself and doing things that you do like you got pizza from it and you are a huge inspiration. Love ur videos! :)
I am the chosen one (the first one and not bragging) I love your videos bro. And i'ma suggest a place you should go to. You should go to a Water park with your helicopter!
No doubt you will be the reason helicopter instructors get booked all up in the next few months lol This is exactly what recreational general aviation is about going out enjoying the freedom of what u can do with the aircraft Id say bring a little tacklebox and a dockmaster pole beautiful fishing banks for sure on that bar
I had to chuckle when you put the pizza into the space below the seat. That's one way to keep the seat warm ... lol Doing errands in a helicopter looks like fun, but try to find a landing spot around your favorite store that isn't somebody's fiercely defended property...
"but try to find a landing spot around your favorite store that isn't somebody's fiercely defended property..." That might be easier than you think but, by way of complete transparency, The helicopters I flew the most sported badges and were labeled "Sheriff's Office."
I always thought it would be wild and funny if I hired someone like this to take me to work one day and land on the grass outside of the parking lot area as I get out and wave back to the pilot as he takes back to the sky, as I'm running back towards the building while my coworkers everywhere give me their astonished looks and want to know what's going on, as I just ignore and go passed them acting like it's no big deal.😅
Great flying ,reminds me of people who have multiple exotic cars in there garage with a living room and bar enjoying cigars/drinks/food looking at there pride and joy ,good for you brother ,keep up the great videos. Could you do flying and talk about how became interested in flying helicopters and a little about costs/maintenance of owning one. Cheers and Blessing
grew up in STL. 1983 - whenever I left I can't remember 2005 maybe haha. Used to work at 1H0 (Creve Coeur) as a line boy. Now I live in Pittsburgh. I love your videos.
Brother, your videos bring a very good experience, I don't miss any of them! I live in Brazil, and although it is much more difficult to have some things here, my biggest dream is to have a helicopter, and I have faith that one day I will get there.
An old friend, who runs a helicopter service in Louisiana, was asked to do a freebe by the local sheriff's department and it wound up costing him a Bell 206 and some time in the hospital. Not cheap.
Love your vids man, keep it on! By the way, I think you should put an e-scooter in your helicopter if it fits. That way you don't have to walk that long distances from where you park.
I am planning to start training on helicopters in the next few months. This is very cool and I’m super jelly! 😂 Do you have any tips/what resources do you recommend for PPL FAA Test?
Lived on Scott AFB 1988-91. Worked downtown St. Louis. Used to take my daughter to baseball and hockey games. Great and huge Zoo. Mid-west had nice farms to visit to buy fresh produce.
👍HaHa :-) ..thanks for sharing Matt. ,,The sand-bank pizza : Epic scenery 👌 ..pizza hunger suddenly crept in on the other side of the pond, here in norway. ..Have nice upcoming weekend. (,,pls remember to take along heli.starter-keys after landings in urbanAreas. Just to avoid crazyIndivids trying some funkyIdeas)
When I was a kid back in the 1970’s there was this magazine called Popular Mechanics and there was an ad for a RV helicopter it was so cool it had everything on it . The helicopter was the same one used by the president of the United States. At the time the price for helicopter was something like $340,000.00 dollars 😂😂 just think if the price was cheaper people would be comping anywhere they liked up in the mountains.
0:37 I can see that gap lol. Maybe try finding some sort of cover almost like tape that you can use to seal the gap when you fly, but easily remove and put back later. Im sure you can put like a velcro on the top frame, and on the bottom for the door, and attach something to both sides to cover the gap, so that way you just unvelcro a strap each time easy peasy
Picking up pizza and taking it out to a giant sand bar in your private Helicopter to eat by the water, is this one of those rare instances of the American Dream?
Do you ever fly down to table rock lake area, I think your by st Louis mo. How many flight hours do you put on copter before rebuilding or major service to your equipment great videos I'm subbed 👍🏼
New to the channel but I have a question, you have said twice tower to my left in two videos I have seen, do you intentionally fly so the towers are on your left for visibility or just a coincidence? 😁
As for the comment about going to the theater alone, I too do many things by myself as my free time may not mesh with anyone else's. In addition, if an outing is a spontanious decision you can't expect people to drop everything to satisfy your whim. Cheers.
Great video. You know, if you " run" as fast as you did with the pizza back to the getaway vehicle, you wouldn’t really need the "22". Heck even sounds like a helis rotors churning. 😂 Are you only certified with heli or can you fly fixed as well? Follow up if you can do both - what would you recommend doing as far as licensing procedures? I'd like to learn helis, but then I think I won't have the money to purchase one. So what do you do as far as flying once certified. It's not as easy as say with Cessna where you can rent almost anywhere to go flying for a few hours or what have you. Thank you. Be safe and have a great 2024 !! -- Matthew

i saw one video of something falling and getting lodged between the rudder pedals so hard pass for me xD
Okay
Hai 😂😂😂😂
Same here, my rotorhead brother!
This way it stays warm )))

I think anyone who dreamed of owning their own helicopter has probably pictured themselves doing similar things. Maybe a fishing or camping trip.
next vid!
Or pickup his gf like Prince William
@@mattylp8i picture myself taking off just in time because zombies grab onto the skids, preferably in a r44 . but yeah i got r22 license
100% I want to pilot SO damn bad. You're an inspiration. 10/10
Agree
Wait for flying cars on 2026
Takes 2 Weeks to 4 Months Self Study Unless You Want to Piggy Back Off Of Others
@@ishanishkc214that will be more like 2126 I'm still waiting for full driverless cars for all. that will be 100yr++ time

Dude's living his best life ever. All you need is a helicopter, pizza, and the great outdoors!

not sure if anyone owns those sandbars and if it's the state government they're usually very lax about it.@@Mawyman2316
There is sometimes freedom. There are tons of limits for national parks, national forests, wildlife areas, near critical infrastructure, in noise abatement areas, around animals, or crowds of people that complain, etc.
So sad that you had to fly to the drive-in alone, but more sad that you are on a deserted island with a yummy pizza all alone.
Plus side, more pizza to himself.
No lady wants to eat pizza on that table, sitting in that chair LOL
Beautiful views on a perfect sunny day! Your head band GoPro gives a great view of what you see as you do your observations. Really fun stuff and easy to watch because you have a really chilled approach to flying. Aviation is a real passion of mine. Keep up the great content! 👍
So effin cool. Ever since "Airwolf" I've always wanted my own!

Such a VIEW! Thank you for sharing! Love flying with you guys!😃😃😃
Incredible concept! You should do more "exploring", go on adventures and show us some beautiful scenary. Best regards from Sweden :)
Looks like fun. Getting an hour of helicopter dual is on my bucket list. Flown in them several times but never actually been the pilot.
I am the chosen one (the first one and not bragging) I love your videos bro. And i'ma suggest a place you should go to. You should go to a Water park with your helicopter!

Fixed wing pilot here, but have always been interested in choppers. Great videos, and keep flying pal.
Safe flights, brother! Love your adventures.

Loved seeing where you stored your pizza. Loved the video.
Rick vibes from rick and morty episode called The Old Man and the Seat. Basically a seat in the middle of nowhere just like this.
When it comes to pizza, this guy does not mess around. Great job, well done! 🚁
Just stumbled across this channel and have seen you fly over multiple times. Great to finally know the story.
I loled so hard when you just sat down and started nomming. The best in life right there.
I wondered if you were going to sit on the sand! When you pulled the table out , i laughed my arsh off! 😂😂😂
MOD: The perfect mini pizza for that mini chopper!
The $100 pizza! Love it! You’re amazing brother. I’m a fixed wing pilot but I would consider my rotor license if I can do this!😊
You can’t it just costs 4-5x as much per hour, for training and rental.
Great video. Your videos remind me of the memories of when I trained in one of those.
reminds me of family guy where peter has the 'peter copter' and joe says to him , 'How can you afford all of this stuff ?' :)
This is so peaceful but somehow feels sad like you’re all alone in this world there’s nobody left but you. Fly safe
Hahah my videos are just raw but the next couple will be with people
@@mattylp8 Name your ballast like Tom Hanks did that volleyball!
That's how it is for me 24/7 😢
Brother, your videos bring a very good experience, I don't miss any of them! I live in Brazil, and although it is much more difficult to have some things here, my biggest dream is to have a helicopter, and I have faith that one day I will get there.
No Brasil e impossível ter isso se não for político, com a quantidade de leis e impostos isso é proibitivo praticamente
Dope vid! Just started working on my CFI
This is so cool! You're living out every little boys dream!
This guy is the definition of retired
i like your videos so calm and nice enjoying flying with you even i live in morocco, keep going and Safe Flying bro :D
dude these vids make my day every time i see them
Im scared of heights so i'd never do that but bro that looks rad af. Love the video !!
You are livin the dream! Thanks for taking us along
$75 to pickup something they deliver, and that you don’t need. And one hour closer to an expensive overhaul. Nice job.
What an absolute gigachad, picking up pizza in a heli
You are very talented at flying the heli
You should try delivering pizza with a helicopter😂
I would love to see people's reactions.
That backshot of justing sitting there, eating the pizza... badass to say the least
An old friend, who runs a helicopter service in Louisiana, was asked to do a freebe by the local sheriff's department and it wound up costing him a Bell 206 and some time in the hospital. Not cheap.
Love your vids man, keep it on! By the way, I think you should put an e-scooter in your helicopter if it fits. That way you don't have to walk that long distances from where you park.
That would be the ultimate lazy . Hahahaaa!! He needs to work off the calories from eating a whole medium pizza by himself.
@@ModelA Lol you have a point.
A Definite bucket list, but I think I want something better than an R22. Good Video and piloting!!
This pizza is quite expensive.
Good thing of being a helicopter pilot, no one will try to steal your helicopter.
I had a friend from St.Charles I met in L.A. His name is Mike Rutherford.
Also met a few people who attended Washington University.
Bro ur vids are fireee 🔥🔥🔥💪💪
Love it! All the way from South Africa
A helicopter pizza run/delivery?, ok now you're just showing off 😂
All I could think is how cold that pizza was by the time he ate it. :) Great vid
5:03 you might just start an air pizza delivery. The whole 30-mins-or-less-or-it’s-free slogan might become a thing again! Lol!
Love the videos keep it up 🚁🚁
This is fab. The helo equivalent of the $100 hamburger.
I am planning to start training on helicopters in the next few months. This is very cool and I’m super jelly! 😂
Do you have any tips/what resources do you recommend for PPL FAA Test?
Love the videos !!!! They get better and better thinking about buying a helicopter for my 22th birthday! 🙏🏽
Lived on Scott AFB 1988-91. Worked downtown St. Louis. Used to take my daughter to baseball and hockey games. Great and huge Zoo. Mid-west had nice farms to visit to buy fresh produce.
That's one way to get a heated seat in a helicopter. :)

(,,pls remember to take along heli.starter-keys after landings in urbanAreas. Just to avoid crazyIndivids trying some funkyIdeas)
Definitely to cute to be at the movies alone!!
All right, going to get a pizza and landing on a small island for a quick meal is waaaaay cool!
you should go geocaching with your helicopter lol

That's really cool. I'm at that beach almost every weekend during the summer. That's 522 beach.
I’d be really nervous flying a helicopter, or any aircraft for that matter, over a golf course anywhere below that altitude.
My guy played GTA.... and thought you know what, why not?? Love the content from 🇬🇧
This is gunna be a very successful channel.
Great UA-cam algorithm. I live a half mile away from where you landed. You actually flew over my house.
0:37 I can see that gap lol. Maybe try finding some sort of cover almost like tape that you can use to seal the gap when you fly, but easily remove and put back later.

Its nice they include a pizza box holder in those

No drink?
Would love to see someone Uber dinner to me in that. 😅
Do you ever fly down to table rock lake area, I think your by st Louis mo. How many flight hours do you put on copter before rebuilding or major service to your equipment great videos I'm subbed 👍🏼
That franchise restaurant is definitely pleased with this, they should contact you with an offer😅 before somebody else will
GTA 6 better be like this...
With no restroom in sight? Id never eat with no way to wash my hands and get that grease on my nice stuff
Nice video
New to the channel but I have a question, you have said twice tower to my left in two videos I have seen, do you intentionally fly so the towers are on your left for visibility or just a coincidence? 😁
I didn't know you could free fly in urban areas so low and land in populated areas.
One of the most dangerous aircraft in the fleet.
Hate to lose a good pizza.. . .
The fact he listen to the comment on th vid of when he went to the movies. Now you need to mount the 360 outside
Certainly a unique way to enjoy some pizza on the beach, but honestly, what's not to like about lunch with a view?!
As for the comment about going to the theater alone, I too do many things by myself as my free time may not mesh with anyone else's. In addition, if an outing is a spontanious decision you can't expect people to drop everything to satisfy your whim. Cheers.
That is a amazing and kind of serene piloting w/ Pizza Hut !
피자헛과 함께 하는 정말 놀랍고 고요한 조종입니다!
Pizza Hut is one of the best tasting Pizzas. 🍕😁🥤
I'm local and hope to run into you someday. Glad I found your channel.
This is like the rotary wing version of the “ Rate My Take Away “ UA-cam channel. 😁
The fact dis man picked up a pizza in a helicopter is insane I'm waiting for someone to pick up a pizza in a private jet
i'am your newest subscriber how come you dont wear sunglasses when flying and driving in the car ?
Love ur vids PLEASE do more vids
Just wondering what is your total flight hour cost with helicopter maintenance factored in. Looks like fun... 👍👍
In my younger days I installed 500'-1000' radio towers for over a decade. I really miss the scenery from up top. Thank you for the great views.
i dont blame you for being by your self i have been by my self for 55 years and i am extremely happy
I enjoyed your videos ❤
We've been to that location several times, only never in a helicopter.
Great video.
