Helicopter Flight Up the Wenatchee River
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2019
- COME FLY WITH ME as I celebrate the launch of channel membership with a flight up the Wenatchee River to Leavenworth and beyond. You'll see the Columbia and Wenatchee Rivers, Malaga, Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Monitor, Cashmere, Dryden, Peshastin, Leavenworth, and Icicle Creek with a glimpse of a waterfall in the Icicle Gorge. I make a sharp turn you can't do in an airplane before starting back.
Note: I just realized that both this video and the video of the first half of this flight ( • Helicopter Flight: Ici... ) have the wrong date on the opening screen. The flight was done on August 27, not July 27. Sorry about that. Can't change it now without re-uploading the videos.
About Me and the Helicopter
- I have been flying for about 20 years. My nearly 4,000 hours of flight time is in Robinson R44, Robinson R22, and Bell 206L (Long Ranger) helicopters.
- The helicopter is a 2005 Robinson R44 Raven II -- the same one that appears in the photo at the beginning of the video. You can learn more about them here: robinsonheli.com/r44-specific... I own this helicopter. It is the third helicopter I've owned since 2000.
- My helicopter has ADS-B Out and is picked up by radar facilities. You can see my track for recent flights on Flightradar24: www.flightradar24.com/data/ai... This is a great site for tracking any almost any flight, including the airlines.
About the Video
- The video was recorded with a pair of GoPro Hero 7 cameras (amzn.to/2Lxyzwl), one of which is connected to the helicopter's intercom system with an NFlightCam audio cable (amzn.to/31syLTm). Both cameras record audio, but I dialed down the helicopter sound to about 25% of normal volume so it wouldn't be annoying. For this video, I also had a GoPro Hero 3 mounted on my Jeep to record my departure from the ground. The audio from that was dialed down to 25%, too.
- The video was edited on a Macintosh using Screenflow software. Learn more about it here: www.telestream.net/screenflow...
- The intro music is by Bob Levitus, famed "Dr. Mac." You can find him here: www.boblevitus.com/
I try to drop cockpit POV videos every Sunday morning and "extras" with more info about owning and operating a helicopter midweek. (Some channel members get early access to some of these videos.) I also host occasional livestreams with Q&A chats. Subscribe so you don't miss anything new! And tell your friends.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful flight Maria. Fabulous seeing all that area.
Isn’t RUclips just a fantastic medium, I can jump from one of Maria’s videos to watching Musk on SpaceXs update to Alec Steele forging a sword, to Sam the Cooking Guy, to watching Stinnett Sticks carving one of his awesome walking sticks. This is how Sunday’s should be 👍😀
Yeah but Mr Steele left your country. TRAITOR!!! he is. I thought Stelter was his lil brother at first.
Water Mouse yeah I know, bit disappointed since the move he used to do daily videos, lucky to get a couple a week now and with Will there now I would of thought we would get the same uploads. Anyway still love it, missing the Pilkington too.
Wow! What a flight! Enjoyed every second! Greetings from Germany (Bavaria, Erding, 20 miles from Munich).
Wonderful place to live Maria!
Cool! Beautiful country! Thank you ♥️
I love that flight. Another nice one is up the Entiat River. Maybe I'll do that when the leaves are turning. It should be amazing.
Thank you for that beautiful flight!! When I was younger I would travel the roads from Wenatchee to Cashmere and sometimes to Leavenworth and beyond but seeing it from the air is so much better!! The freedom you have with your helicopter is so awe inspiring.
It's great to see out the whole front window! Really shows the meander and the uplift being cut by the river.
Thanks for the quick startup and takeoff. I REALLY like the new jeep cam. 😎 It shows your expert skills. Enjoyed the ride. Thanks for taking us on a funday ride. 👍
Awesome awesome video! Loved the scenery especially seeing Leavenworth from the air for once, keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing you flight really enjoyed it. The camera position is perfect making you feel that I was sat next to you. Your commentary just at the right level not too much and still able to enjoying the flight. I have always flown fixed wing but this inspires me to have a go at flying a rotary wing aircraft. Thanks again
Awesome as ever Maria 👍👍👍
Nice scenery
I moved one of my old girlfriends from southern California to Ollala canyon by Cashmere and she just wandered around for months with her jaw dropped lol
Great video! Thank you!
Absolutely magnificent views. Loved the video. Thank you for sharing this with me. William Lane Northern Virginia U.S.A.
Great tour, thanks
Watching 😊😊😊😊
A little trivia about Snow creek where the waterfall is. The Snow lakes have a dam on each lake. The water flow is regulated to keep the water temperature going into the fish hatchery below 60 degrees
or so I believe.
You will have to show your viewers the distance that the embers blew from the sleepy hollow fire to take out the warehouse behind Les Schwab. I think they also evacuated Walmart when that was going on.
Thank you for showing my commute or most of it from Plain.
One last thing for people coming through the area. have breakfast at the Take a break Cafe in Dryden. Awesome place ,good prices
I'll second that on Take a Break. Best chicken fried steak and eggs. But bring your appetite!
Wonderful ride! I have driven up through the area for many years going over Stevens and Blewett passes but this is my first view of it from the air! I'm totally impressed! Thanks for the ride!
Thanks so much for the tour of some beautiful country. I love these tours! Thanks again, Maria!
Thanks for these great videos. I've never been to Wenatchee, but after watching these videos, I feel like I grew up there. Such beautiful country. The geology is fantastic. Thanks so much.
wow... gorgeous! ... you know, I actually feel like I really KNOW the Wenatchee area
thank you maria, nice job once again
I love your videos. So awe inspiring and narrated perfectly
Loved it. Thank you
Such interesting scenery; thank you Maria, for taking us along... good video!
Thanks for bringing me memories from when i used to live in Leavenworth.
And my commute to Wenatchee!
Still have families living in Wenatchee and Malaga
Best one yet Maria, really loved this one...reminds me of when I flew my Cessna 140, i'm sure you familiar with those, but I would fly up rivers around this area!..the 140 was a two seater, 85 hp taildragger, really loved it, wish I would have kept it!..Thanks for this beautiful ride!..
A helicopter is the best way to study the geography of a region. The scenery resembles SE Spain with the arid hills and irrigated orchards. Great video, Maria!
Nice video. Great scenery. I flew my RV-8 into Wenatchee (Pangborn Memorial) in mid-July this year. The Wenatchee area is a very beautiful part of the country to fly around.
You should see it with a fresh dusting of autumn snow!
@@FlyingMAir I'll bet it's beautiful. Gonna have to put that on my agenda. :)
Color me jealous. Just go and jump in the old helicopter and go for a ride, too cool.
Great video!
Nice relaxing flight. I like those from time to time.
Salut tank you vidéo magnifique super merci
Nice 👍 Thanks
Thanks for the awesome ride, Maria. You’re getting good at these tours. Hope the recent weather isn’t causing problems there!
34D - That was beautiful. That tourest attraction city I would LOOOOOOOOVE to live there. Oh my gosh so pretty.
Gorgeous country, little different to what I’m used to in the UK it truly is ‘big country’ everything about it is epic. So different to Dartmoor in the UK.
Love the canyon turn! It’s totally possible though to make a canyon turn that tight in some of the small fixed wings that I fly! Some of them can get slowed down quite nicely for a very short radius turn without needing an extreme bank angle (e.g., Rans S-6 with the extended wings). One does have to worry a bit more about mountain waves though in small naturally aspirated planes like that. It’s easy to get into trouble and not have the power needed to climb out in a strong leeside downdraft.
Loved this trip having grown up in Leavenworth. Well narrated. Keep up great work. Would love to see you go to Lake Wenatchee one day.
I just discovered you! I'm a seaplane pilot in Western Washington and want to start my helicopter training soon! I love the videos
So very relaxing to watch! Thank you so much for sharing. Doug Dillard from Wenatchee. Ps trade ya some excavation work for a ride. Dillard Excavation.
I might take you up on that one day.
Beautiful. I love it so much (especially when under 1500ft). hehe. edit: loved your narration "Boeing/Kansas where I'm from. Keep up the good work.
Super nice tour, as always I enjoy a lot your helicopter video rides. I hope you can catch someday in video one of those trains with B737 fuselages... that would be cool to watch... thanks and happy flights
How green, plentiful are your valleys.
when u realize theres a dog in the chopper hahahaha
these videos help me sleep
Odd. I use Bob Ross videos for that.
Nice video! Enjoyed the scenery. Thanks for sharing! An upgrade to an R66 in the future? Have flown both but really love the turbine.
Growing up here was so tight
Interesting sound effect of continuiois propellers
Красота
Aircraft noise can be brutal for a dog's hearing. I would use Muttmuffs to protect his ears. Might also want to have him in a harness while flying.
The bridge is over the Columbia between East Wenatchee and Wenatchee is the "George Sellar Bridge" named after the late state senator George Sellar.
Always fun to watch, sorry it took so long for me to catch up .
Maybe you need a co pilot to watch your camera gear ? 😀 I'm available lol
Again, another wonderful film and the clarity of the images makes it brilliant to watch. Can I ask, just as a point of interest from my view, could you tell us how high you are flying, at different points, possibly when clear differences can be seen. The reason is, whilst I can seen the Altimeter, it only give above sea level and we can't see the digital read out of the above ground reader..
I'll try to remember to call out my elevation over the ground once in a while. No guarantees. I don't use the radar altimeter.
@@FlyingMAir Just the odd time , doesn't have to be exact but from your experienced eye, a guesstimate would suffice. Thanks...
You are a master on that take off turn. How many hours did it take you to learn the spin turn? There's 3 channel on You tube that I watch everyday. You are one of them. I need to learn this how to fly. Thanks for the share. Be bless every time you fly.
Thank you for the flight.
Have you thought of keeping the current camera position and adding one directly looking forward through the windshield ? Would add a lot more to the experience. Maybe edit occasionally between the two
You should watch a few more of my videos. I use all kinds of camera setups.
Nice Video.... your own helicopter?
:)
Do you do most of your flights when it’s cool in the morning?
I prefer early morning flights. Nice light, calm air.
Looks like your door is slightly open?
Maria, I’m unable to use the ‘support link’ in my country the UK do you have a Patreon I can donate too?
Sorry. I don't have a Patreon account. I went with RUclips because I was told it was universally supported and it makes it easier to deliver perks. Are you clicking the Join button? It might only appear in a desktop/laptop web browser.
FlyingMAir it’s not appearing on iOS, I don’t have a desktop, will see if appears on works desktop.
@@FlyingMAir all sorted 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
And do you fly everyday?
Nope.
The voice track came out entirely on left side speaker, was kinda annoying.
do you hire pilots?
Sure. www.flyingmair.com/info/help-wanted/
