An officer’s final radio call at retirement is probably one of the most emotional moments after a long career. He was a well liked and respected school resource officer by the send off he received.
This is the kind of cop we need more of. The fact that the school kids were running back and forth to say bye to this man, that should speak volumes about the type of character he is. Kids are good at sniffin out bs, and this man appears to be quite clean. Hats off to the both of you

We actually lost my old high school officer to a car crash and Dep definitely would’ve deserved this send off. One of the best cops I’ve ever met and he was known for making sure everyone was ok and not being a hard ass, especially since we were a very low income school. I wish he would’ve got to do something like this because I know even some alumni would have shown up to see him off.

You know that they're not familiar with the situation and you're letting them know ahead of time just to ease any sort of worrisome thought before it even appears. That's professional right there
Even at the end, I'm just speculating, but it seemed like he changed his mind last second and pointed his nose towards the direction he was going to depart from so there was virtually no chance he would be in danger of the tail rotor. Really detail oriented pilot
An upstanding man. A young one who was clearly not in a good headspace tried to take his gun, likely with the intent to hurt the officer and many around him. Yet the officer still showed compassion and restraint in a tense and highly dangerous situation. Good man.

@@davidbroadfoot1864 I went to middle-school and high-school outside the U.S. not only did the schools have one officer, they had several officers at every gate - even though civilian gun ownership was absolutely prohibited in that country. Its not a "deficiency" ... When you have a bunch of "sitting ducks"; be it in a school, a mall, a hospital or whatever. If you're going to prohibit the adults working there from lawful self-defense, the least you can do is provide them with armed officers for their protection.
Just found this channel, very happy it showed up in my recommended feed. Great video, great piloting, in particular how you kept your passenger updated on what you were doing. Great officer, I hope some of the kids he's mentored over his years see that being a cop is still a great option, and become officers themselves. Or pilots.
Wow, what a cool last day "on the job." I wasn't expecting to get teary hearing the "10-42" call out, but as a 19 year military veteran, I have huge respect for his service and the emotion of the final radio call. Thank you for taking time to do this for the police officer and putting the video together of his last day's ride.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I kept thinking...."Why am I so emotional right now?" Eventually it kind of hit me. There's something special about that final radio call when they retire from service. But more than that, I had a good friend who was a firefighter who suddenly died of a brain aneurysm, and during his funeral they did a final radio call for his number, and it was the most emotional part of the funeral for me. (And most others.) I can't think about that part of the funeral without getting emotional. So when they did this final radio call in the video, I believe subconsciously that emotion came back up quickly. I'm just glad this one was under much happier circumstances.
Congratulations on your Retirement Officer Inserra. You spent many years as a LEO & SRO Serving & Protecting your community. Thank you for your service. Thank you Matty for your Honor Flight for this officer. I'm sure it will be one he will remember.
What a positive video. There is so much negativity going on and police officers are all thrown together into one pot as imbecile, power-obsessed oppressors. Here is an officer that clearly earned the respect of the kids, teachers and his fellow officers and it was a dignified, warm sendoff. Good on you!
YOU are part of the problem, and YOU don't want to fix it. You sponsor the "power-obsessed oppressors"... by turning a blind eye and attempt to shame people for talking about it. Yep, going to be that guy. Absolutely throw any and all vitriol at me. I know how you justify your "good guy" crimes, murder, and vengeance. YOU are part of the problem.
@@benedictcumberbatch4275 How many times do I have to watch them murder someone with a wallet in their hands before its on them? Have you been murdered for watering your neighbors yard? the water gun...does look like a gun. Why doesn't the murdered person press charges? I can tell you why the police department doesn't press charges. Individual experiences is how you rationalize murder, rape, and sending people to the hospital.
if you were a smart individual you wouldn't say its someone else's fault for murdering someone. so ignorant. get out of your little opressed mind.@@markstewart4501.
What a bang up send off for this Officer. His story about the trash can was really smart thinking. The helicopter pilot was awesome. Happy Retirement Officer!💙
CONGRATULATIONS 60, Having 3-sons who are police officers I can certainly relate to your life and experiences . Best wishes for a wonderful retirement 🚔
@@issasnipe8824so a guy has three sons that has a good income jobs. And you are sitting on your Couch saying rude comments to this guy . Get better things to do bro💀💀💀💀🔥🔥🔥🔥
Reminds me vaguely of my own high school officer. He is the kindest, more compassionate guy you’ll meet. He had his last day on the job, and on the way to the station to retire his gear, an emergency call of an active shooter that was able to steal a police car from a downed officer downtown was called in. He decided to pick up the call, when he did not have to. He assisted chasing down the shooter, and helped take him down. He was shot multiple times, including once in the face. Luckily, he made a full recovery, and was marched through the school being praised by everyone, and the school districts and town made huge donations to him and the families of all injured and killed officers and their families.
@@JordanMcKee I think video based media will be better about getting good summaries, as I looked up articles and they are pretty vague. But the incident was on March 8th, 2022, in Joplin Missouri. My high school officer is Rick Hirshey, who was injured but made a recovery, and the other two officers on the scene passed away. They had their memorial service at Missouri Southern State University. I believe that is enough information to find all that you are looking for 🙂
The most touching thing about this is, the involvement of all those students. Clearly they all know him, and feel a connection with him. This is a man who was more than just “the cop at the school”. He was part of its community. I hope his replacement will live up to his example.
It makes me so emotional to hear their final send off, they risk their lives everyday and never know what they'll face or if they'll make it home to their loved ones. To know they made it out safely and made it home from that final shift. Thank you LEO'S and families!
Just seeing how much support he got from the staff and students at the school tells me he was a great SRO. Thank you for your years serving the community. And thank you Matt for helping give him a great memory to close out his career.
Unless they got out early for it :p. No kid is gonna sit as his desk when he could go be outside, no matter the event. But I suspect he likely was. And it was a very nice guestre all the same. Edit: gesture*
Brother, I have been a deputy for 19 years here in Florida and seeing you do this is awesome! Thanks for supporting us (LEO) and doing something amazing for that retired officer!
From one retired officer across the pond. Send offs like THAT! is what makes the American people and America great. Fabulous memory for him to take with him :)
Mattylp, you are definitely an asset to your community! Thank you for your help in making this officer’s final day as he retires! It’s a day he’ll never forget.
I remember my schools D.A.R.E. officer, Dpt. Kuhn (can't remember the spelling) over here in Clifton Park NY at Shenendehowa school district. I vaguely remember this man, but I do remember him being friendly and clearly being that over 35yrs has passed, he left an impression. I thought for sure at the beginning of this, the police were going to ask you to help search for something in a hard to access area. Nope....they wanted to give this retiring officer a cool memory before he starts his new path. I would love this, and I'm sure he did as well. Awesome "last day" ride! Congrats to you officer!
Thank you officer Inserra for providing a safe high school at FHC, you will be missed after all those years of letting the kids out of the school, being in the hoco parade etc. It was a pleasure to have you for so many years as our SRO. Hope you have a good retirement. :)
Im a retired TX LEO and I just want to say that it was a beautiful gesture on your part to do that for the officer. God bless you sir. Welcome to retirement Officer Inserra!
That was an amazing sendoff. You could tell how loved and appreciated that officer was. Thank you for taking the time and resources to give him a sendoff he and that class will never forgot. Side note… excellent job explaining the phases of flight and explaining the noises etc. you’re an excellent pilot 👍
Great Piloting. From one pilot to another. I like the way you explain your intentions and actions to your passenger aswell as asking him if he's Ok. My late Father was a flying Orthpeadic Surgeon and he used to say" How do you know if a pilot is a good or bad pilot? If someone has never flown and gets on the ground and says I will never fly again that is a bad pilot and the opposite is true for a good pilot" Job well done🛩
From an interested non-pilot to the two pilots: I have to agree: The way everything was explained, especially during the last landing: Excellent. Did enjoy the clip!
"If someone who has never been on the ground before falls off the ground, and says they will forevermore stick to having their own two feet on the ground - then that is the sign of a good pilot." Did I invert it correctly?
@@4dshowthank you, i'm german aswell and it makes it hard, especially cause they are (most of the times) the ones that walk around with a knife and threaten people (happened to me many times). i'm all for everyone having a home and being able to live safe, but only if they don't destroy our lives. Anyways, i wish you the best of luck in life!

I really enjoyed this, glad it came on my feed. Very wholesome, you're a good dude for doing this and the video quality was fun to watch everything. I love helicopters.
As a retired soldier from the 101st Airborne, I've worked with some amazing chopper pilots. I have some memories that nobody else in the world will ever have as a soldier. (yeah, we might have done some sketchy stuff that was way out the rules) This is awesome! Good job sir, and happy retirement for the officer!
A great way to give back to an officer who dedicated his life's career to the community. God Bless him as he starts his retirement 🙏 Good call and great Job.
Thank you officer, you were a big asset in the community of cottleville mo. You kept the kids safe for many years. Way to go on the kid who tried to disarm you. I can't even begin to fathom what was going through your mind. They say you can't change the whole world, but you have changed so many young students world and that's all that matters.
So many people say "Thank you for your service" and that's always great to hear but, what you did with your skill set is above the call of duty for this fine officer. Job well done Mattel.
SROs lead to high expulsion rates and often refer "problem students" to the criminal justice system before they even are out of high school, leaving a scar on their records and hurting their opporuntinities. It's too bad he's getting replaced.
It's called good community policing. Instead of trying to help only after something happens, they try to fix the problems before they happen. They live and work within their community and that has a big impact on the community itself as they care, instead of officers who live outside of the community, that don't care to much about the community they protect because it's not their community.

@@GardenGuy1943 My apologies I should wrote this differently. I’m sure the Police officer is well and healthy, what I meant by that I like the whole idea of giving him a fly by to say goodbye from the air above the school. Sometimes typing quick the sentence make no sense;) Cheers
@@MikeLRGCarabsolutely not. You’re absolutely allowed to use “was” in that sentence. The officer was not the subject of that sentence, the event was (and the event is now in the past). And I am clearly using “was” as well because your comment is also in the past. Please don’t apologize to someone who has the nerve to nitpick your comment when they themselves can’t be bothered to pay attention. Btw, you seem like a fan of this channel. Can you tell me what video the pilot is referring to? The one he assumed the police were upset about (which apparently made the cop viral)? Thank you.
lately I’ve been looking for feel good news to get away from doom and gloom news.This fit the bill…. thank you for doing this and may that officer be blessed in retirement 👍🏽
This was an awesome send off for this retiring LEO. Great job! Do you not worry you’re going to lose items out of the no-doors spaces?! I had my phone bracket with suction pad fall off my dash once, so I’d imagine you’d be miffed if your nav pad fell out! The officer’s radio was a close one, too! 😂 Also, when you first approached the school there were doors on there! I could see light through a gap above each door… unless that transparent panels are so transparent it looks as if there aren’t any on… but, the officer’s shirt was blowing around in the breeze… 🤔
@@mattylp8 I noticed the same thing and was wondering where you stored the doors for the flight. Is there a spot on the exterior of the helicopter to fasten them?
@@Strahan740i That was one of my first thoughts too, but then he's got to sit there waiting for the cop car to show up at the landing site since it would take a lot longer to drive there than to fly. If that were the case I'd have probably just left them off for the whole trip and worn a sweater if needed and simplify the logistics. (and it's not out of the realm of possibility that there could be external stowage for them)
@@the_omg3242 yep. Notice though that there was a cut in the video between landing and taking off, so that's probably what the cut was for... To remove the bit where nothing happens as he waited for the doors to arrive. That'd be my guess.
Hey Matt, you had me at "hello"! I hit that subscribe so fast! 💯 I already commented below on the content, but what you did for this deserving LEO deserves AT LEAST my subscription! If I could hit the button a thousand times I would! Thank you! Keep being kind.
I love that the kids all cheered for him. We had an officer at our high school that everyone loved. He'd talk with the kids about their cars and was generally a stern but really nice guy.
That’s so Awesome! I spent 12 years local LE then the next 15 as a Federal Agent. I can assure you, I Didn’t get a send off like that, how Special and Kind! Enjoy your retirement brother in blue! BIG Thank You to the gracious helicopter pilot, fuel, and other expenses! You seem like a really good guy, def need more like you!

There's a special place in my heart for school officers. Thank you so much for your service sir and thank you Matt for making his day even more special.
That’s awesome brother. What a great parting gift to that officer. Thank you for keeping your community and our kids safe for 27 years officer Inserra! And thank you Matt, you’ve earned my subscription. Very cool move. That man and those kids will never forget this day for the rest of their lives.
As a retired officer myself, I always find these videos moving. This one is extra special. The pilot is amazing and a special congratulations goes out to the officer. Enjoy your retirement Sir. God bless and and be safe..
Awesome! Great job! A word of advice, and something I saw EVERY day as a CFI...don't favor a perfect headwind at the loss of available landing areas- ESPECIALLY in a low-inertia rotor system like the R22. You flew over the trees on your approach to the school, an action which I imagine is because we are trained "always perfectly into the wind". If you would've taken a path over the football and softball fields, for example, on approach you would've had perfect, flat areas to land in case of emergency/engine failure. Instead, you chose over the trees (and NOT the fluffy kind) presumably because it was "into the wind". I'll take a slight crosswind any day if it keeps me over good forced landing areas! Just some words of advice from years landing in remote areas as a HEMS Pilot. Fly safe!
Matt, thanks for doing that man. Great people like you in this world make the place better. Showing appreciation to a man who dedicate his life to helping the community and a small, but very impactful way. Sidenote, Matt, I hope you know that a response time for you if there is ever a need for the police will be much faster now lol. The police department will always be in debt to you!
Just the way the kids gave this law enforcement officer such a loving send off was amazing to watch. And kudos to the pilot of the helicopter for doing such a great job. We need more of this kind of love in our dying country 😢.
Was not expecting to kinda get emotional when he said his last send off. Congrats to the officer for serving his town and those children I know you probably impacted a lot of kids in some bad times and I thank you for that because I remember our officer at my high school back in 2006 and man he was like a 2nd dad to me. What a great send off and video much respect from Orlando Matty!
I’m an Arizona Deputy and this brought tears to my eyes. Sir, thank you for sending my fellow officer off in such a way. You are indeed a hero in my eyes. He will never forget. Officer enjoy your retirement and always watch your six.
Great job The R22 i worked for Frank Robinson in the 1970's when we were building the R22 in a Hanger and Torrance California. Then moved to a warehouse to go in to production of the R22. Keep up the good work.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I kept thinking...."Why am I so emotional right now?" Eventually it kind of hit me. There's something special about that final radio call when they retire from service. But more than that, I had a good friend who was a firefighter who suddenly died of a brain aneurysm, and during his funeral they did a final radio call for his number, and it was the most emotional part of the funeral for me. (And most others.) I can't think about that part of the funeral without getting emotional. So when they did this final radio call in the video, I believe subconsciously that emotion came back up quickly. I'm just glad this one was under much happier circumstances.
What a beautiful send-off - thank you both for your service and sharing it all with us.
Just to know that you are that respected within the community has to be such an immense amount of joy.
Congratulations on your Retirement Officer Inserra. You spent many years as a LEO & SRO Serving & Protecting your community. Thank you for your service. Thank you Matty for your Honor Flight for this officer. I'm sure it will be one he will remember.

What's funny emo?@@DonnieDarko727
What a positive video. There is so much negativity going on and police officers are all thrown together into one pot as imbecile, power-obsessed oppressors. Here is an officer that clearly earned the respect of the kids, teachers and his fellow officers and it was a dignified, warm sendoff. Good on you!
YOU are part of the problem, and YOU don't want to fix it.
You sponsor the "power-obsessed oppressors"... by turning a blind eye and attempt to shame people for talking about it.
Yep, going to be that guy. Absolutely throw any and all vitriol at me. I know how you justify your "good guy" crimes, murder, and vengeance.
YOU are part of the problem.
Depends on each individuals experience with police.
@@benedictcumberbatch4275 How many times do I have to watch them murder someone with a wallet in their hands before its on them?
Have you been murdered for watering your neighbors yard? the water gun...does look like a gun.
Why doesn't the murdered person press charges?
I can tell you why the police department doesn't press charges.
Individual experiences is how you rationalize murder, rape, and sending people to the hospital.
if you were a smart individual you wouldn't say its someone else's fault for murdering someone. so ignorant. get out of your little opressed mind.@@markstewart4501.

What a bang up send off for this Officer. His story about the trash can was really smart thinking. The helicopter pilot was awesome. Happy Retirement Officer!💙

Having 3-sons who are police officers I can certainly relate to your life and experiences . Best wishes for a wonderful retirement 🚔

@@bobroberson9286 EXPLAIN the super high percentage of domestic violence committed by pigs, pig.
Reminds me vaguely of my own high school officer. He is the kindest, more compassionate guy you’ll meet. He had his last day on the job, and on the way to the station to retire his gear, an emergency call of an active shooter that was able to steal a police car from a downed officer downtown was called in. He decided to pick up the call, when he did not have to. He assisted chasing down the shooter, and helped take him down. He was shot multiple times, including once in the face. Luckily, he made a full recovery, and was marched through the school being praised by everyone, and the school districts and town made huge donations to him and the families of all injured and killed officers and their families.
now thats one badass cop
Whoa thanks for the story! Do you have something I could look up to read about this story? Sounds incredible to say the least
@@JordanMcKee I think video based media will be better about getting good summaries, as I looked up articles and they are pretty vague. But the incident was on March 8th, 2022, in Joplin Missouri. My high school officer is Rick Hirshey, who was injured but made a recovery, and the other two officers on the scene passed away. They had their memorial service at Missouri Southern State University. I believe that is enough information to find all that you are looking for 🙂
@@am3thysts came right up with the date city and officer name! Good stuff
Thats a good man right there!
The most touching thing about this is, the involvement of all those students.
Clearly they all know him, and feel a connection with him.
This is a man who was more than just “the cop at the school”. He was part of its community.
I hope his replacement will live up to his example.
It makes me so emotional to hear their final send off, they risk their lives everyday and never know what they'll face or if they'll make it home to their loved ones. To know they made it out safely and made it home from that final shift. Thank you LEO'S and families!
not gonna lie I normally skip these videos but something compelled me to watch this one out. Very wholesome of you , stay amazing.
Just seeing how much support he got from the staff and students at the school tells me he was a great SRO. Thank you for your years serving the community. And thank you Matt for helping give him a great memory to close out his career.
Unless they got out early for it :p. No kid is gonna sit as his desk when he could go be outside, no matter the event.
But I suspect he likely was. And it was a very nice guestre all the same.
Edit: gesture*
Brother, I have been a deputy for 19 years here in Florida and seeing you do this is awesome! Thanks for supporting us (LEO) and doing something amazing for that retired officer!
thank you for ur service.
Service to the state. Be sure to pay those property taxes or they’ll be doing their “service” by kicking you out of your home.

Thank You, Thank You for your years of service. May God always smile down on you and your family!!!
Tears of joy! Thank you for all you have done for the kids and the community!
I held the tears up until I started reading the comments
this was awesome, very nice too see how the kids cheered for him. thanks also for the ride, the officer wont forget this ever.
From one retired officer across the pond. Send offs like THAT! is what makes the American people and America great. Fabulous memory for him to take with him :)

you are definitely an asset to your community! Thank you for your help in making this officer’s final day as he retires! It’s a day he’ll never forget.

That is really cool!!! Always nice to see people giving someone a nice retirement send off for a life's long worth of hard work!
I remember my schools D.A.R.E. officer, Dpt. Kuhn (can't remember the spelling) over here in Clifton Park NY at Shenendehowa school district. I vaguely remember this man, but I do remember him being friendly and clearly being that over 35yrs has passed, he left an impression. I thought for sure at the beginning of this, the police were going to ask you to help search for something in a hard to access area. Nope....they wanted to give this retiring officer a cool memory before he starts his new path. I would love this, and I'm sure he did as well. Awesome "last day" ride! Congrats to you officer!
Thank you officer Inserra for providing a safe high school at FHC, you will be missed after all those years of letting the kids out of the school, being in the hoco parade etc. It was a pleasure to have you for so many years as our SRO. Hope you have a good retirement. :)
Im a retired TX LEO and I just want to say that it was a beautiful gesture on your part to do that for the officer. God bless you sir. Welcome to retirement Officer Inserra!
this was wonderful to see. Thank you for your kindness and thank you to this officer for the 27 years of service he provided.
Thank you for your service, especially protecting our schools. Enjoy your next chapter!!! What a send off!!! Way to go, Matt!!!
That was an amazing sendoff. You could tell how loved and appreciated that officer was. Thank you for taking the time and resources to give him a sendoff he and that class will never forgot. Side note… excellent job explaining the phases of flight and explaining the noises etc. you’re an excellent pilot 👍
Great Piloting. From one pilot to another. I like the way you explain your intentions and actions to your passenger aswell as asking him if he's Ok. My late Father was a flying Orthpeadic Surgeon and he used to say" How do you know if a pilot is a good or bad pilot? If someone has never flown and gets on the ground and says I will never fly again that is a bad pilot and the opposite is true for a good pilot" Job well done🛩
From an interested non-pilot to the two pilots: I have to agree: The way everything was explained, especially during the last landing: Excellent. Did enjoy the clip!
Did your dad learn to fly in med school? Or, was the flying incidental to his being a surgeon?
"If someone who has never been on the ground before falls off the ground, and says they will forevermore stick to having their own two feet on the ground - then that is the sign of a good pilot."
Did I invert it correctly?
This is one of the only not, brain rotting content on YT, and its probably the most wholesome thing I've ever seen too. Thank you man! 😊
Something tells me this year isn't going to be too bad, if kindness like this can happen so early in this new year, it can only spread.
Great job.
Don’t let others troubles affect you :) Have your own amazing year! I’m glad this popped up for me. Made my day

I really enjoyed this, glad it came on my feed. Very wholesome, you're a good dude for doing this and the video quality was fun to watch everything. I love helicopters.
As a retired soldier from the 101st Airborne, I've worked with some amazing chopper pilots. I have some memories that nobody else in the world will ever have as a soldier. (yeah, we might have done some sketchy stuff that was way out the rules) This is awesome! Good job sir, and happy retirement for the officer!
Grew up at Ft. Benning, Dad was 1st Cav, Air Cav. Go first team!
I graduated from there in 2000, my son will do the same next year. Really enjoy your videos!
Thank you!
So nice of you to do something like that for someone that has given so much to the people he has served!
A great way to give back to an officer who dedicated his life's career to the community.
God Bless him as he starts his retirement 🙏
Good call and great Job.
As a retired Officer, this was a fantastic send-off. Thank you for giving this officer the ride of a lifetime
Thanks for your service.
Thank you officer, you were a big asset in the community of cottleville mo. You kept the kids safe for many years. Way to go on the kid who tried to disarm you. I can't even begin to fathom what was going through your mind. They say you can't change the whole world, but you have changed so many young students world and that's all that matters.
It’s a great honor getting to be part of an important career and life milestone for people in service. Good on ya, buddy!

So many people say "Thank you for your service" and that's always great to hear but, what you did with your skill set is above the call of duty for this fine officer. Job well done Mattel.
This will be a sendoff he won't forget, that's for sure. Thank you for doing this for him.
LMAO the LEO talking about his funny story reminded me of that episode of "Hey Arnold" where they through the 5th graders in the trash
This folks is what you call a "good cop". Just look at the respect and love they have for him, well done !!!!!!
SROs lead to high expulsion rates and often refer "problem students" to the criminal justice system before they even are out of high school, leaving a scar on their records and hurting their opporuntinities. It's too bad he's getting replaced.
It's called good community policing. Instead of trying to help only after something happens, they try to fix the problems before they happen. They live and work within their community and that has a big impact on the community itself as they care, instead of officers who live outside of the community, that don't care to much about the community they protect because it's not their community.
@@jacobevans5832 Funny that with your explanation helped me to better understand why my uncle was liked a lot as a police officer until he retired etc....

“was”..? Did he die recently?
@@GardenGuy1943 My apologies I should wrote this differently. I’m sure the Police officer is well and healthy, what I meant by that I like the whole idea of giving him a fly by to say goodbye from the air above the school.
Sometimes typing quick the sentence make no sense;) Cheers
@@MikeLRGCarabsolutely not. You’re absolutely allowed to use “was” in that sentence. The officer was not the subject of that sentence, the event was (and the event is now in the past). And I am clearly using “was” as well because your comment is also in the past. Please don’t apologize to someone who has the nerve to nitpick your comment when they themselves can’t be bothered to pay attention.
Btw, you seem like a fan of this channel. Can you tell me what video the pilot is referring to? The one he assumed the police were upset about (which apparently made the cop viral)? Thank you.
your a fkn LEGEND for that. What a sick way for that guy to sign off for one last time.
Thank you to the officer for his service. You are appreciated. What a send off. I’m sure he’s grateful to everyone involved. Nice!
lately I’ve been looking for feel good news to get away from doom and gloom news.This fit the bill…. thank you for doing this and may that officer be blessed in retirement 👍🏽
This was an awesome send off for this retiring LEO. Great job!
Do you not worry you’re going to lose items out of the no-doors spaces?! I had my phone bracket with suction pad fall off my dash once, so I’d imagine you’d be miffed if your nav pad fell out! The officer’s radio was a close one, too! 😂
Also, when you first approached the school there were doors on there! I could see light through a gap above each door… unless that transparent panels are so transparent it looks as if there aren’t any on… but, the officer’s shirt was blowing around in the breeze… 🤔
Haha good catch! I had the doors on at first and removed them for the farewell flight.(that way the officer could see outside better and get photos!)
@@mattylp8 I noticed the same thing and was wondering where you stored the doors for the flight. Is there a spot on the exterior of the helicopter to fasten them?
@@the_omg3242 I just had assumed the officers threw them in the car
@@Strahan740i That was one of my first thoughts too, but then he's got to sit there waiting for the cop car to show up at the landing site since it would take a lot longer to drive there than to fly. If that were the case I'd have probably just left them off for the whole trip and worn a sweater if needed and simplify the logistics. (and it's not out of the realm of possibility that there could be external stowage for them)
@@the_omg3242 yep. Notice though that there was a cut in the video between landing and taking off, so that's probably what the cut was for... To remove the bit where nothing happens as he waited for the doors to arrive. That'd be my guess.
Absolutely love this! ❤ Thank you both for your service!
Hey Matt, you had me at "hello"! I hit that subscribe so fast! 💯 I already commented below on the content, but what you did for this deserving LEO deserves AT LEAST my subscription! If I could hit the button a thousand times I would! Thank you! Keep being kind.
I love that the kids all cheered for him. We had an officer at our high school that everyone loved. He'd talk with the kids about their cars and was generally a stern but really nice guy.

Awesome! Great job! A word of advice, and something I saw EVERY day as a CFI...don't favor a perfect headwind at the loss of available landing areas- ESPECIALLY in a low-inertia rotor system like the R22. You flew over the trees on your approach to the school, an action which I imagine is because we are trained "always perfectly into the wind". If you would've taken a path over the football and softball fields, for example, on approach you would've had perfect, flat areas to land in case of emergency/engine failure. Instead, you chose over the trees (and NOT the fluffy kind) presumably because it was "into the wind". I'll take a slight crosswind any day if it keeps me over good forced landing areas! Just some words of advice from years landing in remote areas as a HEMS Pilot. Fly safe!
Keep those options open!
i was 39 when i went on a plane ,iv never been in a chopper 61 now lol,love your work

Sidenote, Matt, I hope you know that a response time for you if there is ever a need for the police will be much faster now lol. The police department will always be in debt to you!
Just the way the kids gave this law enforcement officer such a loving send off was amazing to watch. And kudos to the pilot of the helicopter for doing such a great job. We need more of this kind of love in our dying country 😢.
What an awesome thing to do, Matt! You made a lot of people happy on that day!

Congrats to the officer for serving his town and those children I know you probably impacted a lot of kids in some bad times and I thank you for that because I remember our officer at my high school back in 2006 and man he was like a 2nd dad to me.
