Here's a video of a Kootenay Valley Helicopters Sikorsky S-61 C-GWTX seen in action at CZNL in Nelson, British Columbia. The video includes numerous approaches, landings, and takeoffs as well as some close-up footage. This is definitely one of the most impressive helicopters I've seen at CZNL, love these classics!

Another splendid copter catch! The Sikorsky is such a lovely heli! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this one, and loved the close-ups!

@PeterJones-sj3uw 17 дней назад

Flew to oil platforms in the North sea for many years in the 61, at times atrocious weather but always felt safe.

@TheHDAviation 16 дней назад

That must have been interesting commuting by S61, glad they kept you safe over the years.

For 50 years this beauiful helicopter has serviced the Greenlandic population. Since my childhood the fantastic sound of an arriving/departing Sikorsky S 61 from Grønlandsfly - now Air Greenland, has filled my ears every day. That sound is now gone forever from the Greenland airspace.

I spent months of my life sitting in this helicopter, flying around Afghanistan. It's a fine machine.

These always sounded so loud, so mean, and so intimidating. I always remember the angry and evil sound of the tail rotor. And the supercharger whine from the intakes of the turbines at the front.

That´s amazing to see such a classy helicopter. It´s such a good looking design from 1959.

@PeterPasieka 4 года назад

Was the airport closed for the helicopter exercise? It looked for the video that the runway couldn't be used when they were refueling the helicopter.

@TheHDAviation 4 года назад

I'm not 100% sure if it was closed. It's a very quiet little airport though, so it may have been.

@Scott-zt3fz 4 года назад

6:04 looks like he takes off again to prevent ground resonance.

@discofishing Год назад

This looks like someone being given a class in how to fly the S-61. Part of the flying was done expertly part if it looks like someone flying who is new to the airframe.

@buybygb 7 лет назад

Great catch! What's the heaviest rotor wing you guys have gotten there?

@TheHDAviation 7 лет назад

Thanks! Nothing too crazy. I think the two biggest helicopter's I've seen here are the Boeing Vertol BV-107 and this Sikorsky S-61.

@buybygb 7 лет назад

Ah, so this one is a pretty important catch for you guys!

@robertbowman3406 7 лет назад

Since I am not a helicopter pilot may I ask this question. Is there a spring loaded valve inside the fuel tank that prevents the fuel from coming out after the fuel hose is removed?

@TheHDAviation 7 лет назад

Good question. Unfortunately I don't know the answer, but hopefully someone else will see your comment and have the answer.

@tylorblakeney7182 6 лет назад

I work for vih helicopters which is this company right here there is an engineer standing by the fuel tanker that when its done filling they shut the generator off which shuts fuel down to the hose

@riverrunner1971 4 года назад

@@tylorblakeney7182 Actually it is an ex-VIH aircraft. It was owned and operated by Kootenay Valley Helicopters when this video was made.

@Levi-qu8yl 7 лет назад

That guy doing the fuel should not have gone out there when the heli was still airborne. The heli could have twitched to the side and slammed into the dude.

he's the mechanic, he knows what he is doing.
