- So you wanna fly helicopters?? We talk a bit of about how Chris got OBSESSED and what his pathway to flying was. Consider this the first of a few videos we're going to do on how to get into flying. If you guys like this video we're going to do some followup videos on cost and how to afford to fly.

Haha, my wife is the same way, thinks she will probably die every time she gets in my plane. Had to show her that part of you asking Becki that
Trent Palmer hahaha they should start a support group 😂😂😂
I fly a 1950 V tail Bonanza and my wife thinks she is just going to fall out the bottom. "It's so old, its just going to fall apart!"
Same here - but as with the rest of you, she still flies along! :)
Ok so how did you get Haley to go flying with you? My wife still wont get in the kitfox... she is like promise me you will take me flying then we get to the field and she is like no not today, ill sit here and watch you!
@@BeckiandChris I think it should be called "wives of youtube pilots support group"
I can't believe youtube finally recommended your channel to me in 2022, immediately fell in love and binged 100+ videos of yours. I don't get it, I watch Peter McKinnon's and Matti's channels when they start and you are literally in that office but youtube never bother to recommend you guys to me until now. Anyway, love everything you did, love black toned videos, I have constant fight with my wife to put more blacks and grey to walls, yet you two are all on board with lots of black and gray. Love it.
Oh my god you guys are seriously like my favorite vloggers now, no offense pete and Matt but you guys got me cracking up at the end haha!! I’m premiering a video at 6 pacific time I know you guys will probably never have the time but even if one of you just stopped in and gave the video a chance it would mean the world love you guys!
Really interesting video. I know nothing about flying a helicopter, but I could see how much respect, caution, and care Chris puts into it.
I like how your videos are high quality.
Keep up the good work guys!
LezOmY I aspire to bump my videography to this level
You guys consistently put out in my opinion the purest form of content of RUclips. Thank you.
You guys rock!! Love this video so much. So nice to see Chris flying with Lyle.
And Becki saying ‘physics’ at the end is the best part! 😅😅
Pilot Luana such a great guy!
Just found your channel a few vids ago and you guys are cool af. Becki cusses like a Pirate telling it like it is and she's a total camera nerd, two good qualities and you Chris...you fly a freakin' Helicopter what more can be said..dude rocks. Looking forward to following your adventures. Cheers
By far one of my favourite of vlogs yet. Love how you played with the transitions at the beginning I watch that video too. Keep hammering you guys love everything you do
I love how you guys are doing this straight from the heart and not getting paid to do this. Y’all are my favorite. Keep it up
Update: I got a heart from Becki and Chris!! Life’s complete 😁
These videos on the helicopter piloting journey are great. Keep them coming.
I’m so glad I found this channel! I’ve literally been binge watching every video for the past two days!
The best part of your videos is the Tuxedo time in the end.. haha.. super fun..
SO EXCITED to hear more about your color grading work-flow...especially at what point, and where in the process you "bed" a REC 709!!!
You pack so much info into 12 minutes! I love seeing the sights around your home. Great vid. You should come to Sydney (OZ) and fly around the country. A video around the 12 Apostles would be a sight to behold. Awesome.
Kevin Brotherton yesss 12 apostles is on my list.
I've had a little bit of fixed wing stick time but never rotary--Looks like a lot of fun. Rock on.
Loved this!
Could watch these videos all day...
I’m actually an aviation student right now!! I just wanna say great video and can’t wait for the next in the series!
I have no idea how I got you, guys, in my recommended videos, but I checked a few videos and I really like it. Massive shout out from Moscow \o/
I don't know why but that intro got me so excited! Awesome video as usual guys!
Hello guys. I've discovered your youtube channel just a little while ago, and have been enjoying them. I too am a helicopter private pilot. Most of my flight time is in an enstrom f28f, which I really love. Your right it really gets in your blood. I also watched where you are an intervention radiologist, which is an exciting field. My ex use to sell radiographic supplies and rooms. Me I'm own a hardware store and am learning Adobe so that hopefully can look into creating a youtube channel. Anyway it's been fun following you with so much in common. Keep up the flying and great video. Thanks for the tips as well.
You two are by far my new favorite people on this platform, love the videos and can’t get enough!
I liked the radio talk.......Helicopter Three-Zero-Zero-Whiskey-Zulu........
Thank you for sending me to look at Destin's past videos on his Smarter Every Day channel, the series on helicopter physics is simple to follow and fascinating.
Smarter Ever Day is legit one of the best youtube channels besides you guys! Love all you guys
You are both so talented, and I really respect all the effort you both have put in to be able to do what you both love. I just had to write this comment, i'm sorry. ilu
I'm SUUUUUUPER excited for this mini-series. The series I've always wanted but never asked. Ever since I've flown in a Cessna 206 and 185 four years ago, I've always wanted to learn how to pilot fixed-wings. Then I started watching you guys and saw Chris slowly becoming a helicopter pilot. I became conflicted if I wanted to become a fixed-wing pilot or a helicopter pilot. Maybe this mini-series can ease my conflict.
Looking for to more videos in general!!!!
Helicopter obviously!! Going to do a video with our buddy Matt Guthmiller on fixed wing vs rotary wing
When my hubby and I were first dating, he told me that he wanted to be a helo pilot. We're both fixed wing pilots (he actually gets paid for it...not so much for me, HA!) and FINALLY in '17 he got the company he works for to pay for him to get his rotor license. So awesome! He flies the R44, R66, and HC135. It's been an awesome experience and he's living his life long dream without having to pay for the flight time himself!
So dope to just take a helicopter flight to go on a date and catch a beautiful sunset... thanks for taking us along on the adventure even though Becki still doesn’t feel 100% comfortable on every flight haha
😂 she deals!
You've quickly become a fav channel. Great work both of you.
Ryan Hooper same! I just found them recently. RUclips may have guessed I’m super interested in learning how to fly a helicopter
Always curious how people find our videos!
@@BeckiandChris I found you you through that drunk Canadian Peter Mckinnon. ;) JK.
PS- Wish you were still in Vancouver.
Thank you Chris for sharing all this! Watching Dustin's videos actually blew my mind!
I noticed a difference in camera angles and speed ramps in this video...and I liked it.
That’s crazy. Smarter Everyday is here in my home town in Alabama. Love the channel.
Awesome video Becki and Chris!! As someone who is seriously considering taking helicopter classes, I'm definitely interested in the cost of renting one (like flying from one city to another city), the cost of fuel, and the cost of leaving it at another airport and/or landing area while you explore said city for a few days.
Heli rentals are hard to find and often have restrictions. If city to city travel via airports is your goal, fixed wing is cheaper, faster, and way more accessible with flying clubs/rentals etc.
Gonna make a video on this too!
Chris...in 1999 I took a helicopter tour in New Zealand and was so enamored I got my rotary license the next year in San Diego. Flew an R22 (baby brother to yours). I also had the "how does this thing work?" question I just had to figure out. Fly safe!
I fell in love with helicopters when my Mom got posted to a Army Aviation base here in Australia. It was a helicopter training base primarily and it lead to lots of cool experiences as a teenager, but i'm still just waiting for the day I start to fly too!
Thanks for making this! Always wanted to fly in one and maybe get license. Just found your channel from Pete, so I’m excited to see your perspective!
14000 hours ago on May 9, 1988 I took my first lesson at 9G0.
1000's of hours flying all around WNY.
That was Holiday Valley Ski Resort and Zoar Valley you flew over
You two have awesome chemistry together.
You two are so awesome lol Love watching your videos.
Love it guys! I have a love hate relationship with aviation (fixed wing mechanic) but I love the story and always look forward to new helicopter video's. As always be safe up there!
Hello from the Philippines! Awesome videos guys! You should have WAY more subs.
You guys inspire people! ❤️ love watching you guys do things and love them.
I love this video! Can't wait for more in the heli mini series!
Definitely looking into this. I'm stoked for the follow-up vid!
A great depiction of the joys of flying!
PIC qualified in R-44 & R-22. Yup, it's very different, but also very challenging. I found (left) slope landings with a right x-wind to be a doozie, always cognizant of a gust-induced left dynamic rollover. As a comm. multi. fixed wing pilot, coming over to the 'dark side' I had to UNlearn a lot, but I'm glad I added this CATEGORY!
(KISP & KHWV)
Have you ever dealt with mast rocking during shutdown or startup? And if so, is that something that can cause a catastrophic failure in the future?
I just love your guys personality ! 😊
I was waiting for this video! Thank you!
My Dad is also a helicopter pilot and doc, he also is a world record holder for gyrocopter longest flight and quickest round trip across the USA. If you are ever in Missouri look up Cape Copters!
Very excited to watch this! Was literally just debating on taking a tour of Charlotte with a friend for footage, photos, and the experience!
I have about 33 hours toward my fixed wing certificate. I’ve never thought about flying a helicopter until your videos. Now I wanna do it 🚁 Thanks for the great videos.
Yesssss come to the dark side
Chris you are a freakin rockstar. You guys make an amazing team. I am looking forward to seeing Becki 's aerial photos. I'd rather have a helicopter over a drone.
Law Atienza this. Most people think helicopters are cool. Most people think drones are creepy and annoying, haha.
Love this!!! Physics! LMAO.....dude that last bit was HILARIOUS!
You just popped on my feed and as aviation fan I am I had to check it and I was surprised that you are very good cinematographer as well. Remind me Peter McKinnon
You two were made for each other keep shooting love the videos. I wish I could come up there and fly with you guys God bless
Great video! Looked like a great view on your adventure. Love the tags at the end.
Yes!!!!! thanks been waiting for these videos. Thank you
ahaha this was fun! When I was 4 or 5 years old, I would say "when I grow up, I want to be an airplane!", so it was really interesting to listen to you talk about flying :))
That's some great information. Thank you. I've always wanted to go to flight school. Looking forward to more of these videos!
You guys are so freaking awesome!!! Just found your channel and I’ve been binge watching!! Keep the amazing content coming! Cheers!!!
I like all of your videos, but your helicopter footage is phenomenal!
You're my new favourite channel on RUclips.
great vlog...great editing (Becki)...beautiful scenery...nice one guys!
hey, if you ever make your way to SoCal, look up Apple Valley airport...great location near Big Bear & Arrowhead...we're empty nesters with plenty of room for guests - rates are reasonable (free) :-)
I love this channel. Such a great mix.
Awesome video you guys. Have a great Sunday, Andreas 🇸🇪
Nice video, defiantly enjoyed as a flight school student!
I think I've subscribed to 5 other youtubers because of you guys since I've started watching this channel. lol
Totally agree, you made me do a pilot trial 2 days ago it was pretty interesting. I struggled a little bit with motion sickness 😂
Nomadic Julien it’ll get better!
So awesome! I will never get enough helicopter content.
Ok... the fusion outside the helicopter was awesome. You must’ve had a lot of trust in the mount you used!
You guys are so amazing! Totally inspired me to start this youtube channel and start vlogging! Love you guys!!! = )
I've wanted to try it for a long time, I guess ill go do it!
Now awaiting the cabinet video and the next helicopter video!
Way to go you guys. You are crushing your channel. I am really liking your videos and your editing. You are doing a great job.
Thanks Mischa!
Becki and Chris hey I lost your contact info. Shoot me an email. I’d love to chat.
When you say Dustin, I almost shout out Smarter everyday. Haha. Good vid btw.
Love you guys
my girlfriend acts the exact same way when I fly and it’s just a drone 😂
been watching you two for a few weeks now & y’all are already my favs, really inspire me to keep our channel going! cheers from Cali 👍🏼
Thanks for this, since I first saw the weekend bucket list I have been interested in looking into the difficulties of getting a helicopter pilots license.
Put that on your weekend bucket list!
What kind of Canadian are you Talking? I love how you say weerwcuttingit . thanks for the whirly bird and talk about performance anxiety Video. you guys rock.
This is my first time here on the channel and I love your content!!! Keep up the good work :)
Hello from Singapore 😃
I loved the "Hi" in the snow
This is awesome! You guys are very inspiring for me :) Love from Brazil!
Awesome episode! I’ve really been interested in flying for the longest time. Maybe this year I’ll take the first step.
Absolutely love y'alls personalities together, definitely make an awesome team together! Also Chris was not in the proper attire for Tuxedo time 😂
She sprung it on me... we walked in the door and went straight to the couch
Becki and Chris 🤣 she gotcha 🤣
Love this! Definitely need to know about costs
I'm sitting here in Melbourne where it's 43C today(115F I think) watching you fly helicopters in the snow, and I see you're wearing Blundstone's (from Tasmania). Serendipity! I am meant to be watching :-). BTW, I learned to fly at Toronto Island airport in 1994. The Canadian licence is well respected everywhere. Makes it easy to transfer to other countries.
You need to be smart but more than smart, a sharp mind and what I found most valuable ( as an ever groupie co-pilot constantly watching), good nerves and to be able to stay calm in a stressful scenario.
It actually goes hand in hand with the same mentality ski divers approach each and every jump.
You gotta be ready to release your first chute if it gets tangle and open the emergency one. ( that takes concentration and nerves of steel ). Like flying! 🙌🏻
One thing is to be able to afford a pilot license (which have been a dream my whole life) another one is to afford the license AND a helicopter! Just wow, good job man! Amazing channel, got me to click that red button, keep it up!
Thank you!
You guys are awesome love your videos
To be honest I thought this was an ad for Masterclass for the first 5 seconds lol. Great video as always Becki & Chris!
😂😂😂 Meet your new instructor... Dr. Nicholas
You two are sooo adorable 💖 💖💖
Hey folks, love your vid's, I'm making my way through EVERY ONE! Just heard a shout out to The Rock (Newfoundland) and my interest has now been further peaked. I'm from NL (living in Torbay now) and wondered what your connection is? Keep posting, cheers! Update: Ok, you're both Newfoundlanders, AWESOME... just read your about info. BTW, I'm also obsessed with helicopters which is how I found you online, thanks again for all the great videos.
Hahaha think goodness I waited for 9:50 before asking this vlog is great cant wait till the next awesome content guys
Yes. Thank youuuu
Great video as always. Love helicopters.
Very interesting video! I could never fly a heli, i am super scared of heights. It is so cool though!
Wanted to do this for a long time now.
11:47 best part :) i love your impression of Chris XD great :)
