I know there was some risk inherently but the amount of kids you just inspired was priceless. They’re gonna tell all their friends, and who knows how many of them will pursue aviation one day. A helicopter landing in my town when I was 5 is part of what inspired me to be a pilot! 🤙🏻
Chris is the salt of the earth. He’s a huge man with a huge heart, who goes above and beyond for our community. I was there that day with my 6 year old daughter and she can’t stop talking about how cool it was when the helicopter landed in town. FYI, the ice cream shop referenced in the video is next door to Chris’ shop, BobaQue. It’s called Bonnidell’s and is a staple of the community. So are Pauly’s Pizza, Molly-O’s sno-cones, Marsala’s Market, Wine Bar, Padavan’s, Casa Mia, and The Bridge Coffee House. All within a 2 minute walk of where Matt landed.
Cool video! there must be something about chopper pilot; A friend of mine would rent a machine to keep her hours up. She would pop by her son's school, pick him up, and take him off to the city for a movie and food. Just for the heck of it!
Now I have to go meet Chris, the BBQ owner. That food looked good. The burnt end sandwich,........and those ribs, some coleslaw and I think I can die happy.
That was a good video. Everybody was super friendly. The officer, Chris, the barbecue man you were friendly with the kids. The kids were excited to see you. The parents were respectful of you. It was all route a good vibe video.
I wonder how many got inspired by this... I think it was definitely worth it. Get a YT decal made for the heli so people can look you up and you won't have to keep repeating it. 😆
Being a family of generational pilots all under 5'5 and I've never understood the issue with height... My god congrats on the channel growth Mattylp, well deserved!
I overnighted in St. Charles, MO Tuesday night last week. Ate at Toni's on Main St. Excellent food and that lovely downtown was incredible. UNFORTUNATELY, I was in just a Dodge pickup...sigh...
If you ever buy a bigger bird, Chris has to be the first man to get a ride.
One kid says "can i rev it " 😂😂
You cant rev up a helicopter😂😂😂
lmfao
@@user-ug6gd2ud8g yeah you can lol
@fgteev this is for you
@@user-ug6gd2ud8gthat's the point

Lol, that big guy jamming in was hilarious 😂😂
Chris just casually 7 foot 1 🤣🤣 what a guy.
Thank you for being a positive ambassador for general aviation.
Man you should land there more often. All them excited kids. You gave them something to work for. I would land there more often. You're inspiring

That BBQ looked awesome. Love these videos. Need more!
Really enjoying your channel here in the UK. Keep those videos coming!!

Man Chris hooked you up bro! And as a fellow Chopper pilot myself I agree I think you burned TF outta that landing spot! Respect brother!!!
My mouth literally started watering when you showed the BBQ!
I love this guy, he always makes my day even better with aviation.
My dad was a private pilot then a fighter pilot in the Marines so I grew up with all kinds of aircraft day and night. This was a real treat for kids!

First one of your videos I have seen. Really enjoyed watching. You could tell how genuine you were with everyone. We need more of this in the world!
20 years ago I was driving in the delta, and a crop duster flew right next to me and we waved at each other. Pretty crazy.
I LOVE all the reactions! This definitely needs to be the staple.
Matty I love your channel, it's the coolest place to be and to see the things that you have experienced, You are awesome, 👍😃
Excellent aerial view of New Town!!!!
“Landing for dinner downtown made the cops come”
Wow! Those cops must be really big aviation enthusiasts if your helicopter made them THAT excited! 😳
💀💀
Yes, land there more often. Your inspiring young minds. And that BBQ! YUM!
Bro the food looked amazing. always fun watching your videos flying and interacting with everyone.
Thank you for your content and taking all of us along for the ride. Warm greetings from Adelaide, South Australia.

That's what came to my mind. Young boys around a real flying machine. Maybe at lease one future pilot.
@@pgnandt ,
I would think more than that, kids are automatically drawn to all things that fly.
Dude! Another awesome, fun video. Great work! Keep them coming.
wayy to many kids around that aircraft at once lol my anxiety 10/10 I was like dont touch that, get away from that, dont stand on that
That´s amazing! Regards from Portugal.

I have a massive fear of heights and of flying. I've just subscribed
Having the cops visiting never gets old!
I overnighted in St. Charles, MO Tuesday night last week.
Ate at Toni's on Main St.
Excellent food and that lovely downtown was incredible.
UNFORTUNATELY, I was in just a Dodge pickup...sigh...
Handshake you gave the cop seemed interesting
