Like Joe, I flew a heli on a milestone birthday (40th). That's where the similarities end. He has more flight knowledge in his earlobe than I have or will have.
The Bell was not the first helicopter used in combat. That honour goes to either the German Foke Achellis Drache FA223 or the Sikorsky YR4B, you can argue over dates.
When I first tried flying a helicopter I said to myself, "I'll never get this right". Then before I knew it after going up a few times it became second nature to me.
That voltage was so low there had to be something wrong with the electrical circuit itself, not just cold batteries. I am no pilot, but I can analyze that much. Taking off with that bad indication is something in a pattern at Buffalo: they play with danger to the point where they are going to hurt or kill themselves. In other words, they never should have taken off from Norman Wells without a full electrical system checkout. Another thing: Why can't they install a canvas curtain (in addition to the hanger doors) so that it can be opened and closed quickly, just big enough to get a plane in or out, thus saving heat? Final step, close solid doors, and move canvas out of the way. Those people are stuck in a stupid and downright dangerous pattern and refuse to think things out like this. I'm starting to lose sympathy with the bunch of 'em.
Esta vaina es un robo a mano armada, un engaño, una estafa. Compre la tal caja misteriosa y me llegó una cajita pequeña, del tamaño de una caja de galletas, en ella venia unos audifonos ordinarios, que en el mercado valen unos veinte mil pesos colombianos. No se dejen estafar.
Seeing this smile on Joe’s face in that helicopter was priceless
Hang on to your hats boys!

That's also a MUCH easier helicopter to hover than smaller pistons, or even smaller turbines.

In later episodes there are curtains hanging.
Why is it so complicated let the engine idle for a few minutes
fuel prices
awesome video, but please... they are not yaw pedals, they are anti-torque pedals... 😎👍
