Maria Flies a Huey Helicopter

COME FLY WITH ME and Stan as I take a Huey helicopter for a spin around Malaga, WA.
The backstory
I was doing some late season cherry drying and listening in on the frequency used by the few other pilots left on contract. Two of them were flying Hueys and we'd chatter back and forth a bit. At one point, I told them I'd bring pizza to their base, which I flew over occasionally: a pair of ponds on Stemilt Hill. Sure enough, right on schedule, I turned up with the pizza. That's when I met the two pilots: Stan and Pete. Stan offered to let me try flying the Huey he had on contract, which belongs to his son's company. I'm not a complete idiot -- I said sure! This is the video I shot during that flight. It covers seatbelts on to seatbelts off, including engine startup and shutdown.
The video has a problem: the front facing camera, which was connected to the intercom system, was not configured properly so none of the intercom audio was recorded. This isn't a big deal at the beginning, when the helicopter was quiet, but when the engine cranked up, it became impossible to hear us talk. I filled in the gaps when editing by explaining various things that were going on. The behind-the-scenes footage I recorded while setting up and turning on the cameras tells you how important it was for me to get it right and I still managed to screw up.
And yes, the pedals were not adjusted properly for me. And yes, I know we should have fixed that but once the engine was running, I did not want to cause any delays. And yes, I was doing the flying until I returned full control to Stan. And yes, Stan did not release the controls but I did not feel him on them at all. He was protecting the helicopter and its occupants. He had never flown with me and I had never flown a Huey. Why would he let go?
The helicopter is a B model Huey. Lots of folks think it's a C model, but checking its N-number with the FAA clearly identifies it as a B model. Stan alludes to this at the end of the video. This particular helicopter was built in 1962 and saw action in Vietnam and Nicaragua. It has patched bullet holes in the back floor. It is now used for agricultural and lift jobs.
Stan is a part-time pilot who works when needed and travels the rest of the year. He's a really nice guy who addressed me as "ma'am" more times than I could count. (He is not a "rich guy" with a toy.)
Later that day, I helped him get the helicopter on a trailer by repositioning the trailer with my truck, which happens to have the needed gooseneck hitch. I think I still owe him for the ride.
About the dog
Penny the Tiny Dog flew quite regularly with me for 7+ years. (She was killed by a pit bull in January 2020.) She was too small for me to get ear protection for her but I regularly tested her hearing and can assure you that it was way better than mine. The only reason she came up front in this video was because she was startled by the sound of this particular helicopter. She was not a "loose object" and she would not have gotten under the pedals. Once I put her in back, she stayed there. Please don't lecture me about her.
About the Video
- The video was recorded with a pair of GoPro Hero 7 Black cameras (amzn.to/2Zh7nWr). I had just received one of them via UPS 30 minutes before the flight and was using it with a new NFlightCam cable (amzn.to/31Vn1Zu), which is why I screwed up the audio. I should have left the cameras settings to defaults. Lesson learned.
- The video was edited on a Macintosh using Screenflow software. Learn more about it here: www.telestream...
- The intro music is by Bob Levitus, famed "Dr. Mac." You can find him here: www.boblevitus....
About me
I have been flying for more than 20 years. My nearly 4,000 hours of flight time is in Robinson R44, Robinson R22, and Bell 206L (Long Ranger) helicopters. This was my first time flying a Huey.

Please read the description before sharing comments here. While I'm thrilled that so many folks who saw action in Vietnam or appreciate iconic aircraft like this are commenting here, I really don't need to see comments bashing my seat position, Stan's hold on the controls, or my dog. All of these things are addressed in the description. Thanks!

@puddlesjumper 3 года назад

What an awesome iconic bird. Nothing like standing (stooped over) in the cargo area with no Doors. Weaving, banking & flying loose formation evasively through mountains over jungle canopy in Central & South America. Fingers laced through the perforated holes in the airframe overhead. Avoiding Small arms and RPG fire coming up out of the trees . Tracer rounds streaking through the night sky as our door gunners M60s returned fire & we headed home at flank speed. Hot spent brass casings flying everywhere in the bird out the door some in the catch bag others hitting the floor rolling around. The distance roar of a wingmans minigun as he climbed circled and dived then rejoined us. Suppressing the threat momentarily. What an adrenaline rush. I had many years of PTSD every time I heard a big blade chopper whomping overhead. But I wouldn't trade that or the sensation of sitting on the floor with my feet hanging out the door as we slipped over the edge of the precipice at the end of the runway at Soyopango watching the ground instantly Fall away thousands of feet beneath us not strapped in, no parachute no sweat. You can't build a roller coaster like that. 😁👍

I was a Crew Chief and Maintenance Mechanine In Vietnam in 69/70 on Huey's. When on test flights I always rode left seat and had many a chance to fly the A/C and one thing that surprised me the first few times I alike others grabbed that Cyclic like I was flying a jet fighter on a gun run. One of Pilots for maintenance one time changed that by showing me and explaining that he had instructure who told to handle the Cyclic and do inputs as if I had a cigarette but in my fingers and using it to move the cyclic. After several tries it turned out I became more relaxed and had less tension and enjoyed flight a great deal more.

@charlie99210 5 лет назад

As a Kiowa crewchief, I had much the same experience in my bird. Loved the stick time. My MTP clued me in the first time he put me on the controls. On the OH-58, you just think about what you want the bird to do, and the control inputs come naturally. Just enough to do the job. Maria's comment about passing through ETL hit home with me, as well. First time scared the bejesus out of me. Thought we were going to fall out of the sky.

Cushion on the top and bottom of throttle travel, high inertia rotor takes a while to spin up without turning on pad, anticipate t/r going through transitional lift so the nose doesn’t waggle, select reference points off the nose and out the side then increase collective and use pressures and counter pressure to maintain heading +/- 10 degrees and position over the ground within 3 feet.

RU-vid algorithm dropped me here - fun viewing your first Huey flight. I flew them in Nam (70 - 71 Air Cav) and also the Guard for about 10 years. Great bird that could take an unbelievable amount of abuse until that one lucky round. I miss flying I'm now an old former Huey pilot / IP.

This particular one has a bullet hole in the back cargo area. It definitely saw some action. Thanks for your service!

Wow.. Once the engine spins up and those blades start, you really get the feeling of immense power behind, above and all around you. Very cool perspective. #love the #Huey

Love the engine music, when she starts spooling up. As F1 team owner Ron Dennis said, one of the best things is to listen to a jet engine spooling up. Thank you for the audio! In my hometown the German 212´s from the German Army often had a heli pad during exercises in Denmark. Loved the pad pad pad pad..!!

Nothing like the sound a turbine spooling up!

And that's what a REAL helicopter engine should sound like IMHO!

Excellent video. The camera angle was great as I could see both the flight controls and instruments. It reminded me of many flights I have taken just for fun. Once in the air, with the throttle/collective set, it seemed that the helicopter remained in mostly level flight, apart from climbing a little bit when speed decreased significantly and vice versa.
