The 500/MD500, that was one very smooth ride. The Swiss mountains with plenty of snow was beyond beautiful. Really enjoyed the video very much, thanks. 😊❤
I had to come back and watch this again because of the feeling I had with the pilot who said it’s your controls now and that is when life in a MD-500 was not going to last forever and that is my story
The MD-500 which I’ve been in years ago brought back memories and I love to get back on the cyclic with my collective in my left managing my throttle and my feelings back on the pedals!!!!
Zen like. You're a lucky man. Flight sim captures the essence of this but the exquisite detail in this video are missing. Also I think the flight model into and at hover are off. They keep getting closer with each rev. I missed my chance in life to do this for a living. So I live vicariously in the VR headset and flightsim. But I admire guys like you. It's a beautiful thing you do.
@darioinfini - Sir, if you can - take a trial flying lesson and give yourself the chance to experience REAL heli flying. Flight Sims are good, but they will Never be able to truly replicate the real thing. You won't forget the flight.
@@paulward4268 I *HAVE* taken an intro flight and yes it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. But I'm being realistic here - - flying these things is not for the weak of finance. And I'm too old to be paid to do it commercially. So my only viable option is to sim. I deeply regret not going in this direction as a young man but I'm afraid it's too late now.
@@darioinfini I glad.to hear that you've done a flight. And I KNOW how expensive it is. - I gained my private licence in 1995, & was building hours for a UK instructors rating. But I eventually ran out of funds, and had to stop flying in 2004. i'm retired now, but I renewed my Private licence last year- It still costs a fortune, so I can only fly about twice a month. Not as much as I want to, but it's the best I can do. So believe me - I've had the disappointment, and I KNOW all about the cost.
