Emergency Helicopters | Exceptional Engineering | Free Documentary 

I was totally impressed. I am a retired US Military Helicopter pilot (26+ years, Blackhawks (Medevac 15+ years and 8 years Air Assault). In addition, I was a Los Angeles County Emergency Paramedic from 1972 thru 1979. When I retired I flew Civilian EMS helicopters. I really had a Blessed Career and Life, In the Military, I was an Instructor Pilot and Instrument Flight examiner and retired with over 7,000 flight hours. There is one thing that this video reminded me of that I hated about the job. All of the annual flight evaluations and Instrument evaluations. I could not tell you how many I did in over 35 years and even though I was a helicopter evaluator I still hated the examinations. They were all self-induced stress makers and all helicopter pilots know exactly what I am talking about. That is one reason I was such a good evaluator. I knew exactly what the pilot I was evaluating was going thru and what he was feeling. In my years of flying I did fly with some real dickhead evaluators as all pilots have. I never could figure out why they had to be Az Holes, it was not necessary!!! I got to fly in Germany for 5 years and it was some of the best flying I ever did. I was stationed in (spelling) Gablingen, just North of Augsburg in Southern Bavaria west of Munich. I would return to Germany is a heartbeat, I use to be able to speak German but now I think I could only order food. The 145 is an awesome looking helicopter.

Flown this, the smaller EC135, and the Bell 429 for air Ambulance services across the Carolinas.. I love the H145 it is so easy to fly and extremely comfortable and quiet. I currently fly a Bell 429 though. Also a very fun and maneuverable aircraft. But none of them are nearly as fun as the MD500 "little bird". Lol 😆

During the time of CORONAVIRUS Lockdown, one has to watch Every Freely Available Documentry. 🥂

I almost talked a US Navy pilot into letting me jump and rescue swim. He was cancelled out by the mechanic. I think this is one of the most thorough documentaries on the helicopters that get things done and defy life and death. Congratulations! Did make it onto a crash tender at the same Naval Air Base.

Incredible insight into the creation of an amazing vital piece of equipment which is only half the finished package, add the well trained and hightly motivated crew it then becomes one of, if not the most vital, pieces of equipment known to man in this modern high tech world. Thank you for this Free Documentary and everybody go out and support your local air ambulance...........they need you !!!!!!!!!

Germans are amazing people this vid & the amount of knowledge, Skill, Is just mind blowing

ধন্যবাদ ... most amazing part for me is the rescue simulation

Notice how clean those plants and facilities are. I wish Americans would keep their plants this clean. Also, everybody looked to be in great shape.

Love this documentary.

Feels like an episode of "How its made"

My dudes, how is this free?! It's exceptional! I watched it with my kids, amazing work!

HC145 is such a good looking aircraft.

Perfect docu. Thank you for having the numbers in meters and kilograms.

Aviation is incredible! ✈️🌎

I had a motorbike accident a few years ago and I was airlifted to a major London hospital. I was also GCS 3 and they incubated me at the scene as I was VERY poorly ☹️ The couple that saved my life on the scene before any of the ambulances turned up was a couple from Germany. They'd come over to the UK for a holiday and they'd been on English soil for less than an hour before they came across me. There were people already around me but as soon as they turn up n see what's going on. They grabbed the crash bag out of the back of their car n started to work on me. I was quite lucky tbh as he was a surgeon and she was an anaesthetist and if it wasn't for them. I'd of bleed out on the road. Someone was already talking to the 999 and she took the phone n gave them load's of medical info about myself. When I read the HEMS report, I'd of put a lot of money down (and I've never bet in my LIFE!) that I'd be deal. I did talk to them a few times over Christian and sent flowers. But they've moved on now, as they've got a kid. So is it law that you need to have a crash bag in the back of your car if your a medical Dr, Prof, paramedic, etc? As I'd love to know as I think everyone should as it must save a lot more lives, mine included 🙂

Congratulations on an excellent presentation of a fantastic service. 👌👏👏👏👏👏

That training facility looks so fun

That dog though. 🐕 so cute. Poor thing was just trembling. We are so lucky to have them helping us.

Thats lil beautiful choopa. Looks handsome in every colour.

I flew the H-145 RC in Meadowlands park . Twice a year we have a RC air show . Who can fly the highest and lands perfect on a point dot. Love flying my RC H-145

I love this documentary

Extremely interesting and well made documentary, I really enjoyed this!

4:46, Built super helicopters with Casio F-91W, really like it!

Very well done documentary ❤️🙏🇺🇸😎

THANK YOU FOR SHARING

Helicopters are just beautiful

This was such a good documentary!

Truly amazing series! , have watched a few of them and man they keep you at the table like a bad gambler.

anyone notice the pilots name is tom and the character tom is on his helmet lol

What a beautiful chopper. Love the tom sticker as well @46:44 haha. Funny how there is no copilot on that flight either.

Os vossos documentarios sao muito interessantes. Nota 1000!

there all hero's in my eyes life saving people using high technology and risking there own lives what a incredible team !

an H145 would make my daily commute to work a heaven. sigh...

Highly engineered. The H145M is a cool looking helicopter.

Good documentary. Thanks!👍

Outstanding vid.

Thank you for sharing

I love the pride the helo makers have.

worked on airbus helicopters..they are work horses for sure!

'We have to really concentrate, there are 20 kilometres of cable in here.' So, kindly sod off and let me concentrate? :P

RESPECT

Bless you bro

Thanks for this video

This Chanel deserves more sub!

That practice rig just looks fun and I'm afraid of heights

What an amazing video . So impressed

Carbon fiber is awesome stuff. It feels like metal, when it’s cold or warm.

Wow! I'll take two!

this chanel is awesome! deserve for more subs.

Thought the wiring straight into the air frame, must be time consuming with 20km of cables. Must be a way, a simple jig to place all the cables and terminate each cable on a bench would be simpler and faster. Then offer it up to the frame and fit.

The Mentality in Building this AirCraft is Antique .

I have been told that the medi vac helicopter that the hospital airlifts people in actually has a jet engine on it. Those things really move fast.

BOOM BOOM BOOM..CLAP CLAP And they always use prettiest workers.

100 percent good

Good job. No unbearable reality television-style artificial drama. It is, however, pronounced H-one-four-five.

I always wondered how they made the emergency helicopters because they are made completely different to other helicopters thank you so much for the very interesting video

An 18 mile ambulance ride costed me $1400, from 1 hospital to another.. Had i known that, I would have drove the extra miles to the 2nd hospital in the 1st place.. Expensive lesson to learn, more than a college course...

Very interesting to watch, thank u for sharing, i only mis one thing i would like to now, how about maintenance and the costs off running the helicopter for lets say for one year as a example.

Great video

Great video.

This is now why I only fly RC helicopters. Especially with all the new electronics and some with nice big lipo batteries. Very clean to operate. :)

41:50 "They have to move fast".....Starts moving fast after a quick interview for documentary purposes

That dog is like "ohhhhh fuck no"

Cool

Nothing is better than the Bell 412SP for aeromedical rescues.

Made in Germany ....top job guy's 👍

шикарная подготовка

blade sound check with little hammer..just wow

why cool.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prima! Sehr danke fur diesem programme. The use of carbon-fiber the use if aluminium is much less. The chopper is lighter too and go faster and longer distance. Will carbon-fiber replace Steel and Aluminium?

3am watching rescue helicopters. Why not

Wow !!!

Fair play to all. Great loiking herky birds.

13:44 “beam me up Scotty”

The composite blades are crazy - that's exactly the same process as making composite rotor blades for RC Model helicopters, it's just scaled up...

I really enjoyed the advertisements every 3 minutes...

the dog is like "this is a perfectly good air craft... i will wait for it to land"

Medical, civilian, rescue and police. Collect all four!

I wish I had a dollar. For every person I’ve loaded on an air evac. Over the last 23 years of being fire rescue. My only complaint is the cost. On average a 75-100 air mile flight is between $55k for a normal flight. And can cost $75-85k for a heavy medical flight. So let’s take a person who is having the worst day of their life and now charge them over half of what they probably gave for their home. For a 30 min ride. Just sad I’m my opinion

6:00 Imagine watching that scene from your own eyes!

Best Part about repairs and rebuilding is the Test Drive.

Nice bike.

Fantastic video!! What does it take to become a pilot? It would be good if we can get to do something more life saving like this.

How do I get one of those Airbus hats?

Cool I work on ens ec135 helicopters

Narrator: "She has a severe arm injury and cannot free herself". Me: "Uh, I have a severe hangnail and can't go on the rescue today."

During the training part of it the Older looking guy is a GSG9 operative and or ex operative.

You failed the test but congratulations you still got your certification.

I love when factory workers have uniforms. Seems more professional than US factories. That being said, I would hate to have to wear one to work.

"a special test stand"-wooden sawhorses.

Sahi ha boss

The only sound that Airbus helicopters' blades produce is dramatic music?

All that work for one door!

48:01 i like the decal the pilot on the right has, it matches his name

wow. 1 hour of flight is almost 5 years of food for one person.

Drink every time you hear the helicopter model. Be ready for a life flight after the video. Very cool video though.

Dog: bro, let's never do this again.

I'd like to have such training..where is it offered

Forget about the Heli, I want that fancy RC controlled robot

I am sure that wing tapping guy is experienced and all but positions like that just give me the "fall guy" feel if something bad happens.
