MD 500C Turbine Helicopter Start Sequence Rolls Royce C20 

Everyone favorite sound "Turbine Start" Woosh!

This is the best engine starting video ever! Thanks!

In the 80s I was in the RAF and for four years I worked on the basic Jet Trainer, the Jet Provost. I heard the turn, crack, wumph, at least twenty times a day. I still love the sound. Thank you.

Amazing camera work, that’s the closest I ever want to get to a main rotor blade

10 years maintenance experience on the Little Birds. Safest and best helos ever built. Way too much fun to fly.

That is a Hughes 500C, MD didn't buy Hughes until 1984. So most people don't care but Hughes designed and manufactured outstanding Helicopters that changed the World and deserves the credit.

I love the MD500 series!!

God I've loved the sounds of an MD 500 series starting up since I was a boy! Well kind of dating myself, Yours was a Hughes 500C back in my young days😊

Awesome, never gets old. Hover power baby.

Great video thanks for posting, keep them coming.

Love the 500's!!

This is a dream come true - awesome new channel - I LIKE lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was pretty good. The ending look like you had the MD on a stick.

Awesome totally Awesome

my favorite helicopter. as a gamer i have a MD-500 in most of my 7D2D games. good video, nice to only have the music on the ending. well done.

Great video! Love the 500!

Ohh man...this is sweeeet! Thanks.

Excellent video

Good morning sir. Good to see another awesome video.

God bless America! Personal transportation at it’s finest!

Absolutely Fantastic I can smell the Jet A, the photography was awesome, It reminds me of when I was alot younger and Mom worked at Hi Lift Helicopters in Plymouth Mi and I would hang out during the summer, I was able to go up with some of the pilots now and again......What a great time!!!!

I like the 'D' best but this was a cool video you spent a lot of time making...

W0W. Up close & personal. GR8T POV and HQ! (almost) better than being there ;O) Very COoL. Thank you 🚁

Hermoso video gracias volé tres veces y fue en un H 500 buen recuerdo 😢💪🇦🇷👌

Any turbine heli must have one hell of a gearbox.

More awesome views ❤️

Sexiest helicopter award winner!

ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A QUESTION, THE BEST VIDEO ON RU-vid! YOU POSTED PERSPECTIVES THAT EVERYONE OVERLOOKS! AND YOU GOT ALL THE MUSIC FROM THAT ROLLS ROYCE!!! THIS DESERVES ALL CAPS!

Nice one Todd! 👍

Fantastic videos. I enjoy your narration and the info. Keep.posting videos. Best Wishes!

I counted 5 or 6 ascending howls coming on in turn, like a symphony. Wonderful. Is it theoretically possible to get ground resonance with a 4 or 5 blade rotor, but just very rare?

Beautiful machine.

Imagine having enough money to buy toys like this… 🤔

Another awesome video. I hope to maybe 1 day fly in one been wanting to for many many years and maybe learn how to fly one and get my license.😊👍

1st time in a C I had a 50 line with a bus tire on a hook, Set it on a block wall cross ways and put slack on the line, 1st try. A great flyer these machines are.

If I could own any helicopter in the world, it would be this one...

Excelente.

So, I just watched all three of your videos and I'd like to see more! You're an interesting host and the Arizona / Nevada topography is an excellent stage on which to reveal the ultimate adventures. Of course, your co-host, the 500C, has immense allure. I'd like to offer a few suggestions to help grow your channel. As a viewer, I enjoy your commentary while still hearing the sound of the engine, rotor blades, and transmission humming in the background. It's a delicate audio to convey, technically speaking, but a fantastic soundtrack for your audience. Plus, they will come to appreciate and recognize the unique whine of the 369 series. Usually, though, the panoramic sound only comes through when you're talking, and your headset picks it up in the background. Most aviation videos suffer from this, but a few others have managed the pilot commentary/aircraft sounds as a consistent symphony. I always want to hear that mechanical noise muted slightly in the background even when you're not speaking. The Parker to Vegas Bridges tour is cool, but I originally left the video about 2 minutes into it. "FAST FORWARD" conveniently shows you everything but abandons much of why a 500C aficionado might tune in. I'd break that down into 3- or 4-part series, all of them edited but at normal speed. This would offer plenty of time, in real-time, to learn about you, your history with the 500C, and perhaps your progress to arrive at such a wonderful aircraft. What did you initially train in: R-22, F-28., or a 300C? Have you flown the D and E models of the 369 series as well? Have you flown a Jet Ranger? How much joy do you derive from flying helicopters without hydraulically boosted controls? All the nuances of single-engine light helicopter aviation could be part of your conversations with your views as you roll and dive through the southwest landscape. Of, course all of this takes time, money, and editing, ha!. You're off to an excellent start. I wish you well and look forward to your next adventure. I'm subscribed!

Nice 👍🏻

Beyond Awesome 🎉🎉❤❤👍👍💯💯🤯🤯 Every starting angle of the helicopter is amazing, but especially the closeup view of the engine, is the best!! To one-up it, put a GoPro camera in the engine compartment, to, see the driveshaft up to the rotor head gearbox, turn!! That would be extra awesome 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Long Live the LOACH!

bacana mesmo lindo vídio....

Be safe and careful.😊👍🙏

Great video. Nice camera angles. So the small black fan is the N1 fan?

💯💯💯

Congrats on the new chopper you flew me and my buddy in your r44 a few years back for the mint 400

Interesting for sure. I don't get it all. But the oversight of sequencing is very cool.

Looks like an old Allison T-250

My uncle's son in Texas has a helicopter I think it is a Huey he flew one in Vietnam.👍

In this episode: Sexy mechanical masterpieces! - No need to park it out of town in the dirt like that, I have lots of extra shop space. 😉

I remember sounds like that in Vietnam every time a Huey fired up.

Videos are also awesome with the music.👍

Was that the famous “Scooter” a&p?

Do you charter?

👍🏻👍🏻🥂

I wish that I could get away with that kind of stuff here in the UK.

What is the cruising main rotor RPM?

the C model came out with an Allison 250-C18 & the D with an Allison 250-C20 in the US - did the British modify them to Rolls Royce?

Sweeeeeeeeeeet !

Hello from Phoenix! Post more videos please if you ever need someone right along with you, let me know I can’t fly a halo but I’m a private pilot fix it was always my dream as a kid to have Helicopter

Just curious, I have only flown the D and E models and the Bell 206's. They have the C-20B and R engines and we dont release until 58%. What is different about the C model that you release at 50%?

An helicopter is a too complex design to be efficient and reliable.
