This 1996 Bell 430 operated by Clear Sky Aviation is based out of Baltimore, Maryland. Here they are lifting from Allegheny County Airport heading toward Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I feel like I've seen this one as well, back when I was in college in Philly, but I remember a green one that is possibly currently for sale. All the same I miss this bird...our hospital used to have one as an air ambulance back home...I must have seen it for the last time it left the hangar to fly just before I left for college :(
Our childrens hospital here in Arkansas has 5 of these as air ambulances. The most renowned being Angel One, shes a beautiful bright red with white angel wings going down from the underbelly by the nose to the back down the tail section
One interesting feature of this video is how it causes the youtube compression algorithm to distort the body of the helicopter where the blade shadows are crossing the surface. It has to "guess" where the line between the body and the background sky....
Had to look this up,flew over my area today (4/17/20) cloud coverage so low,i will say this......you can definetly hear her coming,thought it was military
Looks pretty close the original Jurrasic Park helicopter. Lovely startup, the disturbed air from the blade motion while it's sitting there makes your vision look milky/wavy right underneath them. Excellent footage. did subscribe
This looks like a Bell 222B on growth hormones! I'd want a 'helo' to be 'outfitted' in Airwolf's "Wolf in sheep's clothing" configuration. The 'helo' wouldn't 'need' to be outfitted with the 'armament'. Just paint it in Airwolf's "business livery" colorscheme. And put those side panels on the 'helo', and I would be good to go!
Could this 'helo' be kitted out with the necessary flight gear that would allow a competent pilot to fly it in low visibility conditions? I mean, would a seasoned pilot, be able to fly this 'helo' without crashing it into a mountain, in poor visibility conditions?
did anyone notice a white object moving across the screen, right to left starting at about 45seconds? its in the background and from your perspective viewed just above the main rotor. Its moving pretty fast. I dont recognize it.
I fly helis, but I've never flown anything with wheels on it. I feel like if i were to have one with wheels, i'd tend to do rolling takeoffs and landings more. But i never see any wheeled helicopter s doing that in videos. Why is that?
Personally I'd go with a Bell 230 over the 430. Why? Well it looks more like a Bell 222 but has different engines and engine exhaust that gives it a more streamlined appearance.
