That day was very special for the pilot Bernd van Doornick. It was his very last day of work before retirement. Many thanks again to him and to all the crew of Air-Glaciers !
Fifteen minutes of pure bliss. Still the most beautiful chopper ever made. Performance pound for pound # 1. I have watched this video 20 times and still entranced by the pilots skills. On my bucket list to ride in the God given machine.
They should build these by the hundreds and continue old school. There is a difference between working helicopters and point A to point B Marginal loafs! The World has become loafy! The computer is the man flying. If you fly and work on this machine you will understand what a great machine this is and the French did there homework, it is a masterpiece!
The Lama in my opinion is the best Helicopter ever made. It'l lift all day at any altitude and at any temp. No matter how Hot how High or Humid it is.... it kicks the Squirrels ass back to sea level I remember a pome I herd once. Lama Dear Lama, rugged and rare, built with conviction, a strong sturdy mare. Who can compare, with your Perspex and tin, for even you fly, while lacking a fin! Even the Dalai, who shares in your name, could never deny, supporting your gain. Your framework and wires, might others repel, but for me you shall always be my dear belle. Fly high lovely lama, breathing thin air, for there you belong, for those who shall dare.
Bernd van Dornick one of the best pilots who have ever flown in Switzerland and neighboring countries a top pilot a top person and friend. big respect.
My very best wishes for your future Bernd, you has been and continue to be the best around our passion. A friendly hug from one of your best fan, with great respect ciao from Italy Fabio
Diese "alte Lady" ist einzigartig! Ich durfte die SA315B (HB-XRD) noch einmal im Tessin fliegen, bevor sie stillgelegt wurde. Ein unvergessliches Ereignis! Schöne Grüße
I wish him to continue flying, he has impressive skills, plus I can see a great passion, really feel man and machine toghether as one in this video, I guess there should be no real retirement day for a pilot.... My sincere Regards!
the helicopter is amazing but this pilot is the real genius! holy cow what finesse this man has! its like this machine was made for him lol, great flying skills TOP NOTCH
Bonjour a tous du Canada Ça c'est ce que la France la vraie France ,peut fabriquer comme produit ,et compétitionner n'importe qui sur terre . Bonne continuation aux Suisse de Air Glaciers
Je révisione cette vidéo avec un plaisir partagé par les fans du AS 315 B " Lama", j'ai participé dans le transport et l'heliportage de béton que se soit en France ou en Suisse, et je puis vous dire que cette bête de somme qu'est le "Lama" est unique dans sa catégorie, cerise sur le gâteau j'ai pu profiter de la part de certains pilotes, d'avoir eu quelques sensations vertigineuses et époustouflantes de dextérités lors de vols gracieusement offerts, dommage que cet appareil soit en fin de vie, mais gageons que beaucoup le fassent voler encore et encore pour le plaisir des yeux et sa typique musique de sa sœur Alouette 3 🤔
i think this guy has done around the 30,000 hours in this machine , married to it , ita a wonder they did not giveit to him for a retirement gift ,well done
Hello Scott ! The songs are Kämmerer - Dare my light and Robert Chacon - forget the pain. You download these songs for free on www jamendo com. I'm looking forward to seeing the first video of your Alouette II !
