Everytime I've been in a Blackhawk, it was in a stressful or combat scenario. When you said you'd love to give veterans leisure rides to experience a Blackhawk in a calm environment I teared up. It made me realize that I've never been on a relaxing Blackhawk ride... That's a really respectable idea. I might never get the chance... but it's awesome to know people still think of us that way. So much respect for what you accomplish and how you motivate people to crush their goals.

As an Army Blackhawk mech and crew chief, this is freaking amazing and i've never seen a Blackhawk so clean! As you learn to fly this aircraft, following good CRM is crucial to insuring you stay safe. Transitioning from single pilot to a dual pilot helicopter is a big jump so take it slow and learn the systems. Proper checklists are a must and you have to learn to share the cockpit and split responsibilities. Stay humble and continue to learn. I can't wait to see what you do with this in the future!

@sirp226 Год назад

@@fluke196c as a crewman, I was responsible for pre-flights (like the pilots), daily's and turn around inspections. The chip indicator at the intermediate gear box is magnetic, attracting metal shavings as the gearing started to deteriorate. Shavings can be seen before the sensor would be activated. I only bring this up because it was a real issue with the helicopter in my day (early 90's). It was a known issue with the helicopter and responsible for loss of life.

As a former helo mechanic with the USAF's 1st S.O.W., the only suggestions I'd make, to enhance the chopper's utility, would be: - install the utility pylons for carrying external fuel tanks (for extra range/bringing fuel to remote locations for recoveries), and storage pods for additional equipment. - since you occasionally do rescues, the rescue hoist - FLIR/TI camera, to aid in rescues/recoveries -TF/TA radar to assist with night flights/mountain navigation

Super awesome that you finally got your bird. My son is a rescue swimmer for the Navy and has spent quite a bit of time in an MH60 Sierra. You have done a great job with this project and truly love the jump seats that actually have padded seating now. Fly safe and what you will be doing for our veterans is fantastic!!!

@andyhall6257 Год назад

As a veteran myself, your support for us is unmatched. I love watching all of your videos and your genuine kindness to just help people. Looking forward to submitting a form for a ride in that sick friggen helicopter all the way from Vermont! (I think you'll love the green mountains lol). I salute you, sir!

When I was younger I had a killer job. I worked at what used to be Orange county airport then later renamed John Wayne airport at Tallmance Aviation museum. My main duties were to clean all the aircraft one at a time and then wheel them back into the huge main hanger, and drive the fuel truck. I fueled most of the planes that were tethered and hangered at the airport including the old Bell 47 helicopters used by the highway patrol, county sheriff's and the city police. I also was privileged to get a ride with Frank Tallman in his P-51 mustang! One of the highlights of my younger days

Your Blackhawk is incredible and I know you’ll do great things with it! But what I really want is to tell you how touched I was that you thanked the FAA. My father-in-law was first a Marine night fighter pilot in Korea, then he trained Marine pilots and, finally, he was a Flight Safety Specialist for the fledgling CAA and then the FAA. He did care-intensely-about everyone from private pilots to commercial jet pilots and their passengers. The only rating he didn’t have was helicopters-but that’s another story. His last assignment was to teach pilots in Alaska how to survive survivable crashes. I’ve never known a more honorable man. He died almost 20 years ago and I still miss him terribly. When you thanked the FAA and talked about how they really care, I felt like you thanked him too. ❤️

got chills when I heard that sound that a Blackhawk makes at 15:45. I don't know if it's thumping or clapping or just biting through the air. Amazing sound. You guys did an amazing job

Dave you guys rock!!! I absolutely love how you guys try to help everyone! Can’t wait to see what missions you guys take on with this Bird!!

@wrxsnowman Год назад

Love this! As a former active duty Army UH-60 maintainer/crew chief it’s amazing to see this project. Your dedication and desire to give this Hawk new mission is fantastic! What an absolutely stunning aircraft. Well done to everyone involved in making this project successful. I know how difficult it can be, especially during phase maintenance to iron out all the details and issues. *Cheers*

@bsmith8943 Год назад

Like how serious he looks at the controls, every living helo pilot I've known (only a few) is deadly serious in the air.

@rileypensis9406 Год назад

Maybe because there flying a few hundred thousand dollar helicopter

@Mrbfgray Год назад

@@WaltWW Yes and it needs to be said. Likewise those who have an easy ride are pathetic, "trust fund babies" the classic example. Had a grandfather who could have set us up with millions--SO glad he didn't.
