    when I was a teenager I was in the LAPD Explorers and we got a chance to go wash and wax the LAPD choppers and go on a fly along. It was fun until We all started getting a bit nauseous from all the tight turns, but it was amazing and I still treasure that experiance to this day.

    The LAPD Helicopter Division is stationed on the roof of C. Erwin Piper Technical Center. The police heliport was brand new back in 1983, when the movie Blue Thunder was shot.
    It´s an old movie but a great one. In preparation for the 1984 L.A. Olympics, the LAPD receives an experimental new helicopter with a lot of
    high tech gadgets and weapons (for that time) built in. Near the end of the movie are fantastic helicopter Vs. helicopter chase/combat scenes.

It turned out to be an LAPD helicopter. They shined the night sun spotlight on us and then yelled on the PA to get back in the house. The only time in my life I’ve ever been yelled at by a helicopter lol

    Utmost respect for law enforcement!! As a long time pilot; rotor & fixed wing, this brings back years of memories flying in the LA Basin.
    Also reminds me of all the noise complaints from citizens from the "news helicopters". It's not the news, or VIP, or tour helicopters making the noise... It's the daily (and nightly) low-level flight operations as highlighted here that create the continuous noise problems. As an ex-military pilot and pilot that flew in the LA Basin for over 30 years I still ask myself the question, "Is there really a need to fly at 200 to 500 agl to conduct these operations?

    • @colt10mmsecurity68

    flying helicopters are very different from fixed wing aircraft. Your feet and hands are always on the controls and you become one with the machine. one hand on the cyclic, the other hand on the collective and both feet on the anti torque pedals.

      In the ASTAR, you can keep your feet flat on the floor flying all day, including landing without using the pedals. (Run-on landing with a tail rotor control failure or tail rotor drive failure, as the ASTAR RFM calls it). It’s really a non event once you know how to do it and practice it almost daily)😉

      @@spankyharland9845 No, not exactly. We have Garmin full 3-axis autopilot for helicopters! The system you’re talking about was “Helisas,” made by companies like Genesys (formally “Chelton”). Garmin has developed a full autopilot (GFC 600H, Google it) for certain helicopters and the ASTAR is one of them, I fly and instruct with them in ASTARS for a living. You can load up an instrument approach and the autopilot will fly the helicopter down to minimums. You can set it up to orbit over a location and go hands free. Garmin also has a “leveling” feature that in the event one goes inadvertent IMC, a push of the button and the helicopter will right itself and fly straight/level in the clouds and without the use of hands or feet on the cyclic or pedals. The only control that at this time is NOT controlled by the autopilot is the collective. However, Garmin will be coming out with that next, within a couple of years. They are working on that as we speak.

It's the FAA Registration number (similar to a car's license number) and is commonly called the N-number for obvious reasons. The serial number is assigned by the manufacturer, the N-number by the FAA. Thanks for putting in the blurry stills. They really clarified things. Also, this is America. There's no "u" in "harbor".
