Army Air Corps Westland Gazelle Start up and lift off. 

I love the sound of a gazelle turbomeca Astrazou engine, such a nice compact helicopter, my late farther used to work on these back in the 80s in Germany, when he was in the R.E.M.E, he let me sit in a few when he popped into work on leave holidays. ☺️

Loved the sound of the Astazou engine!! Rare in these days

Fond memories of flying in these specially when navigating whilst NOE.

❤ the WL Gazelle. It's also an timeless Helicopter like the Bell UH-1D.

The nostalgia is strong here. I grew up in Shropshire, England, and used to hear these all the time around the airbase at RAF Shawbury and near the training camp at MOD Nesscliffe. It's like 1997 all over again.

Looks and sounds like a proper helicopter!

in northern ireland had one pilot report ..".gearbox locked up while pushing rotor assembly backwards during preflight checks" he continued with his mission. we got there and changed the box and found a planet gear had broken free and was floating around .... lucky pilot!

great heli. I remember being QRF cmdr in Cookstown NI in 1993. I got re tasked and Gazelle came in to pick me up. I was amazed to see pilot with Para smock and 2 Para dz flash. He had transfered to army air corps! I had a brilliant low level flight. Respect.

Yep...that's definitely a stealth chopper. If you are attacking a deaf enemy.

Had a hedge hopping experience in one in 84, young an daft loved it, Always knew when a gazelle was taking off if you were within half a mile lol.

Beautiful aircraft, she was built for speed, she will run.

Very uncomfortable in the back of this helicopter, particularly with all ones kit piled on the old lap! The only blessing is that it gets there quickly, relatively speaking.

Had a ride in the Back as part of Bos training at Sennilager in 98. Nearest I got in Bos was they were Stationed in the same town. The spent the rest of my time in at Wattisham working with 121 ASS, till leaving nearly 20 years ago.

The good old chicken drumstick.

so many memories there was a valve that sometimes had to be knocked to get the engine to start.... pilots dissaproved

Good Lord that thing is tiny. Its the MG Midget of helicopters. At least modern ones.

BLUE THUNDER

First IFR certified helicopter I think with an autopilot wasn't it ?

Flew them for 23 years a dream to fly!

Wow that’s amazing how loud is that

Wouldn't that be cool if it was painted blue and had a giant 20mm electric cannon capable of firing 4000 rounds a minute on the nose?!

Got the Blue Thunder theme tune going in yer head?

I 'fly' the Gazelle in DCS and always thought it was scaled down in size. I was wrong.

truly amazing sound!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Has a few speed records under her belt

Holy the rotor when resting sits low.

Had army gazelle xw847 visit polar helicopters at manston the other day

Anyone else looking at this after reading/listening to Tim Peake's Limitless?

Nice Helicopter.

Used to get army gazelles at regular in the 1980s

Excelente

Si vede che sono militari e non pagano loro il carburante. 5 minuti di attesa a terra... 😊

ผมคิดถึงแบบนี้แหละการเข้าออกพื้นที่ต้องเงียบแล้วรวดเร็วเฮลิคอปเตอร์ของรัสเซียส่วนใหญ่แสดงตนในพื้นที่สู้รบชัดเจนเกินไปมันตกเป็นเป้ามันถึงโดนยิงตกเป็นจำนวนมาก

I'm half deaf after this video
