It was TV shows like this and the Whirlybirds series that I loved watching as a kid. Seeing those Bell 47 choppers fly really inspired me to become a helicopter pilot. I was fortunate enough to train in a Bell 47 many years ago and it was a dream come true.
Good story, Joseph. Hopefully, you didn't use that craft to bust crooks outta jail. If you did, you must have gotten away...Just kidding. I envy your skill. I have trouble flying a Frisbee.
Joseph Giunta I bet it was fun as hell to fly one of them things lol! I’m uncomfortable even flying in a 747 let alone in that lil thing with no doors or nothing illd have one hell of a panic attack lol
When Dan Matthews gets on your tail, you can forget about it: your goose is cooked! I think the wall map is a big co star on HP. No way criminals can escape having that as an advantage. You're in the circle and that makes you a sitting duck. You can only squirm like a rat while the noose tightens, but cornered, you fight like a rat with your.38 only to be neatly dispatched by a nifty shot from Dan Matthews snub nosed revolver from 50 yards. One shot: you are cold!
Unfortunately, crime has gotten so bad in Los Angeles that they are now referred to as "ghetto birds." Because they LAPD are always chasing some miscreant attempting to flee after they've broken the law.
It's hilarious how he always says "take us up before they spot us"-- even today's helicopters are extremely loud, especially that close to the ground-- they must have thought their viewers were pretty simpleminded...
Another skull cracked with the handgun goodnight club.Was there ever another show where somebody gets pistol whipped almost every episode?I think HP holds the record..
That guy that broke out of prison tells Dan, "All right I'm ready to go back." What would it matter whether he was ready to go back or not. They were captured.
He can't just go back like nothing happened. Two people were killed. That kindly old country doc was beaten up. He should get an additional sentence and permanently disqualified for parole. They should never let him out of prison again.
This is one of the rare HPs without a woman. It's amusing that the bad guys always slug a victim in the head with a pistol, and they always quickly recover. In reality, such a blunt force trauma would almost certainly kill a person.
Gone are the days of good old-fashioned “clean” criminal behavior. Nowadays everything is tainted with some form of mental, sociological, psychological or sexual perversion.
Yes, the police certainly were trigger-happy in those days. Thank goodness things are better now. (Sarcasm alert) Or: Yes, the police in America certainly are trigger-happy. Thank goodness it's not like that in Britain. (Another sarcasm alert)
He tells Dan he doesn't think he will make it and Dan doesn't even drop a single beat and starts reading from the papers in his hands.....how empathetic is that?
He’s all bigness. Or maybe he’s not impressed that the guard ran to the top of the hill and tried to swat the whirly-chopper-bird down with his shotgun.
If I was the ringleader I'd have taken Doc's car and gotten out of the area where a new car could be stolen.Notice at 24:00 a white car in the distance disappears.
Kind of funny some of the silly things they'd say back then. The helicopter had a range of two hundred miles, so Broderick draws a circle 200 miles across and sends a helicopter out to search for the helicopter. That would be more than six times the size of Connecticut.
What prison puts an inmate on a life sentence for murder outside on a work crew? I think the escape copter pilot is the same as the HP pilot in other episodes. They found another pilot to run the HP copter this time. "How bad is it" "I don't know. If we don't stop this bleeding, we'll never find out." Oh, yes you will. Poor Dan. No roadblocks this time. 16:30 Need a bigger telephone handset.
The farm house is up for tax sale. That's so wrong..a person works hard and pays for his home..then the government can take it away from him if he doesn't pay for it again every year in the form of '"house taxes"!
@Anna Weathers My property taxes are crazy. They just keep going up and up. The country is sure generous with all the free give-a-ways using my hard earned money.
It's the poor pharmacist I feel sorry for. If his parents had not insisted on him learning Latin at school, he would not have understood the doctor's message.
@@shizukamori6755 'Stat voca custodis' translates to 'Call authorities right away'. No, I didn't study Latin either, except for my misbegotten altar boy days as a youth. Google translator is my friend.
Notice all the birds chirping in what once was open spaces.Now the birds have been replaced with pavement, cookie cutter houses and swimming pools, as well as crack,herion,meth, and pot.The whole wonderfull place has gone to hell.Dan would not be happy if he were alive today
🔵DAN MATTEWS AND THE OTHER SPACE TROOPERS JUST LEFT AND DIDN'T EVEN CHECK ON THE DOCTOR TO SEE IF HE WAS DEAD OR ALIVE. THEY JUST DIDN'T CARE. WHEN I ASKED MATTEWS WHY? HE SAID, "WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME KID, THERE'S NO EPILOG ON THIS SHOW"😁🔴
@@javiergilvidal1558 The FAA shows the helicopter number N942B now as a Piper fixed wing aircraft but before, it was a Bell 1954 47G-2 helicopter and it was deregistered in 1963 and exported to Colombia. Prior to deregistration it was registered to PETROLEUM HELICOPTERS INC. You can search here: registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/Search/NNumberResult
The crook did the logical thing. What if the prescription said "I've been abducted, call for help!" ?And, yes, I can imagine a rural doctor being of a rather advanced age instead of having a practice in the downtown bustle.
Tried to find the actual incident where this helicopter escape happened and can find none prior to 1971. 14:14 - the doctor didn't think of the most basic thing, IV fluids????

This is broderick Crawford, remember if you care to drive, drive with beer, hic,, hic upp.
"He's got a slug in his shoulder"- u mean buckshot pellets? "Take it up before they see us"- pretty sure they already HEARD u, since u are right over them. And at the end, ol' Danno Mathews walks right in front of his man's muzzle, and before anyone is cuffed to boot. Riiiight.
PointyTailofSatan - Yes i know. I'm a gun guy. Prison guards don't use slugs because they are likely to over-penetrate through a person. They want the close range stopping power of buckshot, and the spread reduces range for safety
@@troy9477 So-called gun guys are the cause of a lot of the world's problems, and nowhere more than in the USA. Time to find a new hobby that does not cause harm to humans and other species,
A bit fanciful the plolice relying on people being their eyes. Obviously the escape crew hadn’t planned for any divergence from their original ideas. In an area so large, they should have been able to get clean away what ever the problems.
Can't say for sure, but we do know they, the powers that be, are experimenting with the weather. People should research Geo-engineering, Harvard University had information on this. They "say" it's research for global warming.
There weren't many black actors in those days and the few who were available were well known and well paid. This was a low budget show. Crawford was the only one in the cast who made much money.
