So you wanna fly helicopters?? We talk a bit of about how Chris got OBSESSED and what his pathway to flying was. Consider this the first of a few videos we're going to do on how to get into flying. If you guys like this video we're going to do some followup videos on cost and how to afford to fly.

Hello guys. I've discovered your youtube channel just a little while ago, and have been enjoying them. I too am a helicopter private pilot. Most of my flight time is in an enstrom f28f, which I really love. Your right it really gets in your blood. I also watched where you are an intervention radiologist, which is an exciting field. My ex use to sell radiographic supplies and rooms. Me I'm own a hardware store and am learning Adobe so that hopefully can look into creating a youtube channel. Anyway it's been fun following you with so much in common. Keep up the flying and great video. Thanks for the tips as well.

I can't believe youtube finally recommended your channel to me in 2022, immediately fell in love and binged 100+ videos of yours. I don't get it, I watch Peter McKinnon's and Matti's channels when they start and you are literally in that office but youtube never bother to recommend you guys to me until now. Anyway, love everything you did, love black toned videos, I have constant fight with my wife to put more blacks and grey to walls, yet you two are all on board with lots of black and gray. Love it.

When my hubby and I were first dating, he told me that he wanted to be a helo pilot. We're both fixed wing pilots (he actually gets paid for it...not so much for me, HA!) and FINALLY in '17 he got the company he works for to pay for him to get his rotor license. So awesome! He flies the R44, R66, and HC135. It's been an awesome experience and he's living his life long dream without having to pay for the flight time himself!

I'm SUUUUUUPER excited for this mini-series. The series I've always wanted but never asked. Ever since I've flown in a Cessna 206 and 185 four years ago, I've always wanted to learn how to pilot fixed-wings. Then I started watching you guys and saw Chris slowly becoming a helicopter pilot. I became conflicted if I wanted to become a fixed-wing pilot or a helicopter pilot. Maybe this mini-series can ease my conflict. Looking for to more videos in general!!!!

Awesome video Becki and Chris!! As someone who is seriously considering taking helicopter classes, I'm definitely interested in the cost of renting one (like flying from one city to another city), the cost of fuel, and the cost of leaving it at another airport and/or landing area while you explore said city for a few days.
@BeckiandChris
@BeckiandChris 5 жыл бұрын
Heli rentals are hard to find and often have restrictions. If city to city travel via airports is your goal, fixed wing is cheaper, faster, and way more accessible with flying clubs/rentals etc. Gonna make a video on this too!

PIC qualified in R-44 & R-22. Yup, it's very different, but also very challenging. I found (left) slope landings with a right x-wind to be a doozie, always cognizant of a gust-induced left dynamic rollover. As a comm. multi. fixed wing pilot, coming over to the 'dark side' I had to UNlearn a lot, but I'm glad I added this CATEGORY! (KISP & KHWV)
