Leigh (@HelipilotLeigh) and Mike (@HelipilotMike) were flying their brand new Bell 505 Jet Ranger X from the Dominican Republic to Alaska and stopped in Mississippi to say hi and give me a ride in their awesome Candy Cane 505. We also did some formation flying with the Robinson R-44 Raven II and the Bell 505. R-44 Helicopter Flight Training VLOG # 8

Sorry for the audio quality in the 505. For some reason, my GoPro adapter started failing at this point (and it eventually failed completely in later flights). I did my best to clean up the audio (it was way worse than this) to make it passable.

@JordanSantana. 3 года назад

Amazing video regardless

@PromisesAreMadeByLiars 3 года назад

Yeh that sucks do u think u can feature them to re talk there stories? coz that was really interesting but couldnt hear it... kinda feels like a bit of disservice to the ppl telling the stories. Anyway your a rock star u look like u been flying helicopter for longer. wnd when do we get lester on the channel? Plz ppl get behind me on this!!!

@CWLemoine 3 года назад

You might try raising the volume. You can definitely hear them (or at least most can), it's just not pristine.

@richb313 3 года назад

The editing was great. I really enjoyed watching all the familiar scenery go by trying my best to identify from the air. Yes the audio sucked but who cares I could still hear enough to make sense of it. If you use David Clarke you might try contacting them directly they responded to Oceaneering when I worked there.

You need Airwoolf music theme for your helicopter videos. 😉

@alaskanstrat6618 3 года назад

Used to fly with Leigh all the time in Valdez Alaska with Vertical Solutions ! So crazy to see her in your videos lol , so awesome !

@ThePinkPanth3r 3 года назад

Can't complain about any paint scheme that makes you more visible.

@dcpack 3 года назад

If they fly out of Valdez it is a very good thing.

@kevinmandrile5074 3 года назад

That's a really good looking helicopter 😎, I love the paint job, really nice 😌.

@CWLemoine 3 года назад

It really is a beautiful helicopter.

@kevinmadore1794 3 года назад

@@CWLemoine I notice some major changes that Bell has made both to the nose of the machine and the engine cowling overhead. Very different from the legacy 206 JR. Sweet machine. Love the way the JR sounds (and smells) when you start one up. Can't beat a turbine.

@holgerheinrich2992 3 года назад

It's been how long now? 4 Years? I still hate the look if this fugly thing. And it doesn't grow on you. It is a flying Voldemort. And always will be. One of the worst machines ever build by Bell. They practically robbed their antique cabinets, scrambled some 30year old parts together, robbed a robinson of the hull and a 47 on the mainframe, and called it 505. *shudder*.

@captaingradetwo 3 года назад

Love the remix of the AIRWOLF theme

@robot_spider 3 года назад

lol, I thought it was a knock-off Pirates of the Caribbean theme... Airwolf makes a lot more sense.

@scotthix2926 2 года назад

I thought it was but it was just different. Had to go check. Remix makes since.

@6Sally5 3 года назад

They seem like really nice down-to-earth people...especially for rich folk! I can see how she would be an excellent flight instructor....great personality.

@kevinmandrile5074 3 года назад

"Do we need landing light on?" "We certainly can to make ourselves look pretty." "I'm all about visibility there Lester." "Absolutely, I think we're a high vis. helicopter." "RIGHT!" 😆

The sound was just fine! Great job on flying! 👍🏻Impressive! Wonderful stories you capture from people. So many wonderful people out there. Thanks for sharing a part of your experiences with all of us!

@user-ci1yn8or2h 5 месяцев назад

Just by watching you flying the Bell 505 I could visualize how smooth and enjoyable to fly this helicopter 🚁❤️❤️stunning machine .

@raykrv6a 3 года назад

Great people. Very cool video. You did well on the controls.

@gregmaupin8929 3 года назад

Such super nice people all the way around! I miss being in the aviation community, it’s painful sometimes to know I can no longer do certain things anymore but I fight for my family so I can walk again. I love these amazing people and Mover you know I appreciate you brother. God Bless you all.

@0x80O0oOverfl0w 3 года назад

I love the Airwolf intro! I was just a few years too young to watch this show during it's normal broadcast spot, so I had to beg my parents to record it for me on VHS so I could watch it later.

@Big.Ron1 2 года назад

I like that paint. It is certainly visible. Thank for this. Be safe.

Mover, nice job 👍 ..good hover and the flying was like you were a 1000 hour helicopter pilot! Keep it up brotha! 🤙

@HappyBear376 3 года назад

Fantastic video and what a lovely aircraft.

@harrisla123456 3 года назад

WOW!! What an afternoon!!!!! A Memorable experience To never be forgotten!! I a non- aviator certainly will never top that!! I have taken a couple of flights over the superdome in a Bell 206 Many years ago and I can still remember it. It was with a Vietnam era pilot Michael G. Baker! Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience!!

@knightlypopeye 3 года назад

Nice. You met my buddy Leigh. Have known her for a little over 10 years now. She is a wonderful pilot. Met her at Donlin Creek. Where she did move stuff for the drill rigs we worked with.

@MaxAfterburner 3 года назад

Great helicopter aerial video! I usually only see this kind of cinematography with winged aircraft subjects.

@Garythefireman66 3 года назад

This was so interesting and different. They have a great story and one highly visible helicopter 🚁

@umami0247 3 года назад

Nice helicopter I like how bell has updated the jet ranger thru the years. Crew chief on the old scout and huey helicopters way back in the 70's. Had a great time in the service but I chose a different path.

@jcraigshelton 3 года назад

Yep…went from the 1960’s to current day.

@shawn2443 3 года назад

Mover--that was a really nice segment with Leigh and Mike. Cool lives with cool stories.

@markp5737 3 года назад

That was brilliant, hearing their flying history and so made it really enjoyable and you fly a helicopter alright for a jet jockey! :)

@Paul-hy6rp 3 года назад

awesome episode, enjoyed every second, so impresed the way you handled the 505, well done.

@SPQRTempus 3 года назад

Flying an unfamiliar aircraft AND conducting an interview at the same time. Worth about 3 thumbs up!

@caseybhargraves3696 3 года назад

That was wicked cool!!!

@MA-iv7ol 3 года назад

I'm sure all the modern features are nice, still can't hold a candle to the original 206 Jet Ranger in the looks department though. I think the Long Rangers (206L) were the best looking civil helicopters ever made. The nose just kills the looks of the 505.

@larmar 3 года назад

Gazelle was the nicest in my opinion. So fun to fly!

@bcgrittner 3 года назад

The 505 reminds me of the aircraft in the animated Planes movies.

@tiro2041 3 года назад

Love the ”Airwolf” intro 👍🏻😀

@billcarlin7411 3 года назад

Mover for me anyway, that is one of your best video's. Enjoyed the conversation, loved the early shots of the two of you flying, nice job! Only thing that makes me mad is I am in the panhandle of Florida and it looks like they have already flown over my house. No hat for me. :)

@LouT1501 3 года назад

@bigal3940 3 года назад

You guys may think that it is a random paint scheme but I will see you mid air! Great video, thanks for sharing.

@jeremybarker7577 3 года назад

Flying in small helicopters is just awesome. The second time I ever traveled in an aircraft it was an original JetRanger so it was great to see the current version.

@rorygallegos7581 3 года назад

Absolutely awesome 👏👌👍🤙

@only_1_kinobi 3 года назад

love the airwolf theme was my favourite tv show growing up

@wsucougarfan 2 года назад

Really beautiful helicopter. I noticed in the smaller helicopter it seems like the whole thing shudders which seems kind of sketchy. The 505 looks to be a lot more stable and solid. It was fun to watch the trip and hear their stories. Cool video!

@brianburchart7592 3 года назад

That was totally awesome Mover, thanks

@w6krg 3 года назад

Nice air to air footage. I used to do mine from SH-3s and UH-1s Former PH2. That Bell is a beautiful beastie!

@62heliman 3 года назад

awesome flight.

@jasonrwilkinson9216 3 года назад

That was awesome Mover, lucky you flying the 505 - X what a beautiful and technologically advanced heli, IMHO really moved the game on without the cost of a H130 or A-star. There is one based near me and I'll have to have an hour in it even though it's close to $900 per hour! Leigh and Mike are delightful and living the dream, hope they have a safe and enjoyable onward flight back home.

@jonelson1983 3 года назад

Great vid....enjoyed that

@texasstuff1281 3 года назад

Love seeing you in the Jet Ranger. My father worked for Texas DPS and was great friends with one of their pilots. I took my first flight when I was 14 in the DPS Bell Jet Ranger. It was a 206, but I don't know which version. Was about 1976. Really makes me want to take lessons...

That 505 really pops with that paint job.

@steveelston6869 Год назад

Great vid mate. Love the airwolfesque intro tunes..

@fw1421 3 года назад

The paint job isn’t any more obnoxious than the Hughes 500 they used on Magnum PI. Attractive chopper!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome this group of people got to let a US NAVY fighter pilot move closer to another goal. Thanks for bringing the channel along to both the 505 crew & Movers.

Dang CW from a 22 to a 44 now a 505. After a brief new craft orientation you take to it like a natural. That is a cool bird. Good landing, i sure enjoy the helicopter videos
