HELI-EXPO 2024 GAZELLE SA341 flight through Disneyland TFR into HAI (Startup, Flight, Landing)

What an amazing experience! It's not often you get to fly right by Disneyland. This year HAI HELI EXPO got all of us participating pilots Clearance through the TFR and into the Landing Zone at the Anaheim Convention Center. This was a Bucket List Flight! Thank you HAI and to nv3foundation.org/ for making it all happen.

This is the Astazou IIIC2 engine that can produce 650HP, not 600. I sold that engine to Gilbert, the previous owner 🙂

[@BlackBeardAP]

I said Around 600 :) I have the original invoice for this engine, I will reach out to you for another spare

Did either of you know Bruce Zeier?

How cool is that to fly over Disneyland! I watched you come in and land. I am one of many electricians that worked on the set up of the show. I hooked up power for your booth.

[@BlackBeardAP]

Awesome Matt! Thanks for getting that power hooked up, I appreciate it bud

[@Bucketroo]

My favorite helicopter, and helicopter sound.

[@williamedmonds9581]

I work at the Riverside airport and I remember seeing this helicopter when it was parked on the ramp back in September of 23. I was surprised that it looks so much smaller in person. Still a beautiful helicopter.

[@BlackBeardAP]

Nice! That was when I was there meeting with the FSDO

[@EddieSLX]

There's no mistaking the turbine sound of a Gazzelle, still the best sounding chopper.

[@Zeaiclies]

It's the Helicopter that was modified into "BlueThunder" 😁😎🍻

[@BlackBeardAP]

Yes it is, also was in the movie Rambo 3 where he shot it down with the bow and arrow

Aero-Spatiale no emphasis on the E at the end ;) Great vid, thanks for sharing.

And original SA 341 for Sud Aviation. These days, just call them Airbus. So many name changes.

[@itsjustbonnie6418]

Hello sir I have had interest in this helicopter lately ,is it possible to insulate that high pitched transmission noise,I have watched many gazelle helicopter videos and they are loud

[@BlackBeardAP]

It’s called a Screeching Gazelle for a reason :)

[@itsjustbonnie6418]

Too bad

[@jamesstirling3792]
