    Nice! That’s a rare helicopter in the USA. Back in 2012 I saw a Gazelle in person for the first time, I never thought that I would see a Gazelle in Tennessee. It belonged to a guy that owned a local paving company.

    The Gazelle is one of the most beautiful and elegant looking helicopters EVER made - it looks way better than many contemporary helis IMHO, with an unmatched history of use throughout the world and performance that'll match or surpass a lot of the current crop of helis too. I see it's for sale at a terrific price considering its pedigree - whoa, if I had than kind of $ available I'd buy it in a heartbeat and work toward getting my license to fly it : ) In the meantime, I'd just park it in the back yard and drool over its looks every day : ). Lucky that you FLEW in it !!!

      Hello Anthony, They do not use these Gazelle helicopters, they are to old and have no room inside for transporting a patient. That I know of they use the Airbus EC130 / H130 This is what they look like www.airbus.com/en/products-services/helicopters/civil-helicopters/h130 the Gazelle & H130 / EC130 look very similar.

      @EdWhisenantAviation  2 года назад

      Thank you for watching my video also, I don't have the exact answer I know the Robinson Helicopters are the same way, the engine starts and then they can engage the rotors. Great question hopefully someone can answer us or I will try and find out.
