    What a beautiful veteran bird, still in service! OH-6A ..with all the latest fixin'z!😄
    I love these early 369's, so simple, so smooth, "more right pedal" LOL
    I'd love one, meanwhile I can appreciate them & your respect for the bird..but there were some things we missed..preflight, STARTING! EVERY lightoff is a moment of truth AND consequence, & moment of "IT'S ALIVE!!!"
    THANKS FOR THE VID, AND GOOD AVIATING!

      @Aero_Snout Me too! Howard had good ideas for the Hughes 269, safety and control authority, passive antitorque..compact size.. 369 was stellar performer and engineers built for weight reduction without sacrificing strength, capturing bonus performance.. the evolution has been amazing!(I love looking back @ it).
      But for personal flying, I'd love me a 369HE/Hughes 500C!😎👍🚁

    I work in a chemical factory in Japan🇯🇵
    I was impressed by your careful work.
    In particular, it is the part where you point to the finger👉 that was going in the 6:55 part to confirm.
    I was impressed by the action that factory workers often do in Japan, and that they are also doing it overseas.
    Safety first, good luck ✌️

    Not going to act like I'm a pilot, because I'm not. I'm a retired Architect, but my story involves the OH-6A. I retired as a civillian employee of the National Guard in Tennessee. I was in charge of construction and maintenance all over Tennessee which is over 600 miles from end to end. We had a versy aggressive Adjutant General towards construction. I had a construction inspector working for me that was in the National Guard and was also a pilot who flew the OH-6. The General gave us permission to use the OH-6 for traveling to construction sites since I could visit multiple sites in one day instead of just one or two sites in a day. It saved a lot of overnight per diem in the process and kept his hours up. We would fly about 3 times per week and in the process I got about 300 hours of stick time. Quite an experience for a lowly Architect. I also flew in the UH-60, UH-1 and had some simulation time in the AH-1. I loved that time of my life and will always have a soft spot for the OH-6.
