@@GarthvanZyl-Medicare-EMR I've been on a helicopter ride in a 206 Jetranger in Alaska and that feeling is now one of the reasons why I want to become a helicopter pilot for a living
@@GarthvanZyl-Medicare-EMRi love sound of big two blades and turbine engine ! Remember me old films about Vietnam that used kind of helicopter during 60’s
I was a Maintenance Test Pilot (retired/veteran) in a UH-1H/V, Marine UH-1N (twin engine), UH-1H-11 (Super Huey) in Colombia South America (drug interdiction program) and unless you've flown one or had a family member or friend give you the low down, you should probably keep your comments to yourself. It has a sound and vibration that you come to love. I have flown nine different helicopters (Bell 427, 430, 412EP, OH-58, 206 L1/L3/L4, TH-57, not including the above) in the past 30 years and I would rather fly a UH-1V and Super Huey before any of them.
No, it does not my friend. Could you imagine a M/R blade moving at 6600 Rpm. Hehehe It goes through a reduction gear which reduces it to 324 RPM. Hope that helps! Don't know how old you are, but the U.S. Army increased the age limit to 33 to enter the Warrant Officer Flight School Program. Might want to toss that around to some of your friends or family who thought they missed there chance. I can help them to pass the Flight Aptitude Selection Test (FAST).
No, it isn't, my friend. Could you imagine a M/R blade spinning at 6,600 RPM. Crazy! It is reduced to 324 RPM with a red line at 339 RPM. If any of your friends or family were looking at going to flight school and thought they missed the age limit of 27 years old, you can tell them that it has been increased to 33 years old.
Michael. Are there 2 different types of power to the main rotor? One is from the main shaft of the compressor turbine and the other is from the exhaust gasses turning the hot turbine section? The first one you cannot hold the rotor still while the second one you could hold the rotor still and throttle up the engine? I think it's the Cessna Caravan turbo prop that you can hold the blade still while the turbine is running, up to a certain point, as an example.
Awesome vid.. brings memories when 4 of us (SAR) were hanging from a Huey using McGuire rig technique back in the 70.. the wind blows tears out of your eyes.. thanks
All these whiny movie director critics: The creator of this vid is probably not expecting an Academy Award and he is probably not crying about your disapprovals.If you actually rode a Huey, you would appreciate this vid as it visibly demonstrates the vibration of the engine wind-up/warm-up. It's a UH-1, not a Buick.
Dallas I've flown (ridden) in two of them. On top of that, my dad flew (actually flew) them in Vietnam. Yes, amazing machines and they vibrate like a '64 Chevy pickup doing 40 mph down a washboard road. All the more reason to use as wide of a lens as possible to reduce the camera shake effect - AND to be able to have a better perspective of what's going on. All that aside, thanks for sharing your experience, Garth. Hindsight, 20/20. I hope to one day get a third ride in one.
What a wonderful bird, just love them, the sound, the looks, everything. Don't give two hoots about the so called video recording. Good vid all the same.
Hold the camera still !!-----I chugged around in UH-1 H/ M's/OH- 58 A''s. for 12 years as a 'crewchief' ; holding a 8 mm wind-up movie camera----Maybe you should hire me......67N20/ 67N2F/ /66N20/ 66N2F........USAR/ CA NG full-time civil tech---Ft. Devens, MA / CA NG Flight facility, Los Alamitos, CA (Huntington Beach-)---The very best years I ever had.....76th Training Division, Ft. Devens------1/18 Cavalry (AIR)--Troop 'D' -----Los Alamitos-----Chased 'druggies' all over the place; East of Tijuana/ San Ysidro areas.....strapped into a 'monkey vest'-----holding my 8 mm/ doors open......Best times ever had........No crashes; but some almost 'head-on's on cloudy days......They scared me (almost) to death..........The 'opposition' Cessna's were painted 'cream white' (perfect camo for cloudy days) with a green stripe--------I am sure you have run into the same scenario.....BE CAREFUL OUT THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish I had a $ for every time I have done that, first time 1968, last 78. Had a lot more starts than most pilots as I was maintenance type mostly. Lots of tracking and runups, etc.
Really don't understand the harsh words about the video quality. OK, it sucks, but the guy that took the video doesn't owe anyone who watches it anything. The entitlement of some of these comments as if you actually deserve a high quality video of a Huey takeoff, and are being let down, is ridiculous. 99% of us would never have any sort of idea of what a chopper takeoff is like except for RUclips vids. Nobody is paying to watch this. You aren't entitled to cinema quality footage. So either watch it and glean whatever enjoyment you can from it, or frown at the quality and press the back button on your browser and try to find a different video. Taking the time to disparage the video quality as if you are personally offended that the quality isn't up to your exacting standards is just...kind of pathetic. If I was being given a ride in a Huey, and took a video, I'm sure my perspective would have been the same - just trying to document a cool experience in my life. Thanks for posting.
thanks for the support, this was a dream for a vety long time, 2 missed opportunities before this, and when i got the call i was there like a bear, faster than flash, blackberry on hand
For future endeavors: Small corrections with camera work. Smooth and methodical. Take 2-3 seconds to traverse 90 degrees. Cameras are not as sophisticated as the human eye.
Need a gimbal mount for that camera the shaking is horrible do you have the camera mounted on a spring so it shakes more need a Dramamine after watching your video.
It was my cellphone in my hand. It was a short notice opportunity and could not give a shit about all the negative comments people made....or make. The RUclips stabilisation feature fucked the video up....maybe I'll upload the original sometime
Use the digital/paper checklist aviator!! Took this pilot looonnng time to pull through effective translational lift...per the filming...runs on luck maybe? sayin'..
Wow. I hope anyone who has epilepsy doesn't watch this. This will trigger an attack. Gave me a headache. And it could have been so epic. I suppose a thank you is is order for posting in the first place, but take this advice: Get some camera lessons
why do you twist the throttle back and forth? are you finding a central position or a start point and what is the little gear shaped ring at the top edge of the throttle? Lots of questions sorry :)
from very good to very bad---if the transmission breaks off; everybody on the forward left side of the fuselage cabin area is dead------the torque will due you in.......
I stand by what I said - and if I'm ever fortunate enough to enjoy such a flight, I'll be damn sure to make a better job of the camera work and editing!
Well that's the thing Steve. This opportunity was literally called through 30mins before take off....They called me. I jumped into the car drove straight there and climbed on board with mobile phone in hand not a freaking camera! Get over it

That low level departure looked great! Must've been quite thrilling
Best part of the flight actually, that feeling of having your intestines depart out the floor, bucket list....check
@@GarthvanZyl-Medicare-EMR I've been on a helicopter ride in a 206 Jetranger in Alaska and that feeling is now one of the reasons why I want to become a helicopter pilot for a living
I also working towards piloting my own HEMS
@@GarthvanZyl-Medicare-EMRi love sound of big two blades and turbine engine ! Remember me old films about Vietnam that used kind of helicopter during 60’s
@pimuce yes they were very popular due to the fact that one could hoist the engine out the heli with a built in crane apparently
Reminds me of the time when me and my future wife were riding in a Huey Helicopter several times over in Germany in the Army.
Perfect camera operator...

Amen, preach it brother, one of the most incredible experiences in my life and I have had many exhilarating experience and this one topped the list!
Michael. Is the Huey direct drive to the main rotor?
No, it does not my friend. Could you imagine a M/R blade moving at 6600 Rpm. Hehehe
It goes through a reduction gear which reduces it to 324 RPM.
Hope that helps!

Glorious. Just like I fly in DCS. I love it.
Didn't realize how much I miss that sound.
got that right
ME TOO NAM 68 69
Like shufflin' on a freight train,
Like rockin' on a hurricane,
Like sippin' on some champagne--Flying the Huey...
Garth, ya just made an OLD Huey IP smile big time. Flew OH-6A in Nam '69, Huey IP at Mother Rucker til '73.
CHI-Town Monk awesome! was an amazing experience. so much power!
CHI-Town Monk Mother Rucker👍🏼
Awesome sound of start-up thanks for not putting music in.
Thanks just had to hear that power!
Agreed - sound was good. Would have preferred steadier camera, and remaining focused on some key instruments.
A sound like no other. Whop, whop , whop!

Wow....I can feel the power.
Wish I had a $ for every time I have done that, first time 1968, last 78. Had a lot more starts than most pilots as I was maintenance type mostly. Lots of tracking and runups, etc.
Zoom out my friend, zoom out.....
What an incredible video!!!!!!!!!! Thank you soooooooo much for filming this! Great job! :)

i actually have to dig.out the original and upload, this is the effect of applying the stabilisation feature of youtube
thanks for the support, this was a dream for a vety long time, 2 missed opportunities before this, and when i got the call i was there like a bear, faster than flash, blackberry on hand
that sound...first thing in the mist...sounds like...VICTORY
especially if you were the Vietnamese soldiers
Love Hueys!!!!!
Оператор от Бога . 😂😂😂
Helicopters really don't fly. They BEAT THE AIR into submission!
Huey to land at my house and pick me up please!
I love aviation world
From Flenterskloof in Franschhoek to the Airport in Cape Town
I got drunk for free watching the video, thank you very much, Is weed time.
Bless 4:20
bird bird bird, bird is the word
For future endeavors: Small corrections with camera work. Smooth and methodical. Take 2-3 seconds to traverse 90 degrees. Cameras are not as sophisticated as the human eye.
Apologies for that, it was filmed with a blackberry cellphone
dam i would so love to be in that thing
Wow, great video! Can I use some of this for a short film I am working on? I'll credit you, and send you the link.
Sure no problem, I have the original somewhere that isn't so warpy thanks to youtube's stabilisation algorithm
Yes that sound, but as you and I know, we don't want a Hot start.
Hey I want a huhy to land on my land and pick me up
Need a gimbal mount for that camera the shaking is horrible do you have the camera mounted on a spring so it shakes more need a Dramamine after watching your video.
It was my cellphone in my hand. It was a short notice opportunity and could not give a shit about all the negative comments people made....or make. The RUclips stabilisation feature fucked the video up....maybe I'll upload the original sometime
Garth van Zyl I don't use their stabilization cool flight.
ya if I had only known how shitty the feature was
fantastic camera work
+Craig Tripney Thanks man!! A honest comment....
Use the digital/paper checklist aviator!! Took this pilot looonnng time to pull through effective translational lift...per the filming...runs on luck maybe? sayin'..
stylish take off ;)
Indeed, left my stomach on the ground
Does the Huey vibrate that bad on run up of the engine? I would certainly hope not as I would spill my coffee. Only kidding!
Yes very shaky when starting up to get those big blades spinning
Wow. I hope anyone who has epilepsy doesn't watch this. This will trigger an attack. Gave me a headache. And it could have been so epic. I suppose a thank you is is order for posting in the first place, but take this advice: Get some camera lessons

WestendAngst he was priming things if I recall
For priming if I remember correctly
Hahaha just a 70000$ mistake!!
party on Garth...
+kevin smith We are not worthy...
Some folks are born
"Warning " if u have diarrea do not even think abaut a ride in one of this ok
Got vc in the corn fields over?
Hahaha
Nice one, was this a VWS Huey?
it was indeed, was been flown in for a service
Correction, I think is was one of the DOG units, not VWS
Hey what's the survival rate if you accidentally crashed one of these thing? I love to give a try someday
Sadly one did crash last season and we lost a great pilot 'Oom Bees' that day.
from very good to very bad---if the transmission breaks off; everybody on the forward left side of the fuselage cabin area is dead------the torque will due you in.......
What State / Country was this filmed in?
South Africa
That was informative
whoever was filming this, let's just say...shouldnt
Roger that. At least the audio portion has redeeming value.
Them sure some straaaaaange look'n rice fields down thar.
Where?
time for new camera
was a cellphone.....and i did get a new one thanks
1779 Cole creek Rd Dallas Georgia
lol
Was the cameraman trying to avoid VC groundfire?! I feel airsick!
Hahaha, trying not to drop the phone outside the heli
wow
bonito
The filming made me feel sick. :) Such a shame the sound was amazing! still good though.
I feel travel sick already.Camera work by Stevie Wonder.....
That comment is just blind...
Truly the WORST camera work ever.
+Steve Clements you welcome to do it yourself next time....f you ever get the privilege of flying in one....
+Garth van Zyl well said ha ha ha
I stand by what I said - and if I'm ever fortunate enough to enjoy such a flight, I'll be damn sure to make a better job of the camera work and editing!
Well that's the thing Steve. This opportunity was literally called through 30mins before take off....They called me. I jumped into the car drove straight there and climbed on board with mobile phone in hand not a freaking camera! Get over it
+Garth van Zyl Doesn't change the fact that you filmed horrible.
TO MUCH SHAKY VIEWS ….. NO STADY HAND …. NEVER MAKE FAST MOVES BY YOURE HAND ….
tried the youtube video stabilisation feature, did work
Man this is so shaky! Next time buy and use a gopro hero3!
You welcome to sponsor me one....Dollar to Rand exchange ;)

This could have been very interesting but the camera work was horrible
pretty sure thats absolutely the worst huey clip ever. signed an ex huey crewchief
Chris Haug thank you for yor to useless commentary, my life has been severely enriched.
Best sound ever.. absolutely the worst camera work ever.. what a wasted opportunity. Zoom the thing out a little next time. - jus' sayin. What a brilliant ride though !!
bad camera handling...
+nymerie no it wasnt it was RUclips image stabilisation software that did this to the clip
What a worst camera work 🤦🏻♂️
Said no one ever....
The jerking camera action makes this completely unbearable to watch.
Huey forever !!!
