Fantastic. I love the Bell 47. The helicopter of my childhood. I used to work at an airfield part time as a young man (Fairoaks in Surrey - South East England) and very often refuelled these. There was a small fleet of them used for training. I loved the look and sound of them. (Sadly, never got a flight in one though!). I can't remember the last one I saw flying in the uk. Probably the late Tracey Martin's version which was often at Fairoaks back in those days and continued to appear at a few airshows on and off. Thanks for the post.

Smooth flying and a mighty pretty bird Mr. Chung. I flew G-2s, G-3s and a G-5 with Omniflight Helicopters. My Commercial checkride examiner asked if I now preferred fixed or rotary wing aircraft. I answered: "If the Navy wouldn't offer me an F-14 Tomcat, any helicopter would do."

57 years ago, while on a family vacation to Gettysburg Va, I flew for the first time in my life. It was in one of AG Rotors, Bell 47’s. The ride was short, but sweet for this 10 yr old fan of Whirlybirds. That flight reinforced my desire to fly and although I never got my rotorcraft ticket, I did become a private pilot, owning several aircraft over the years, to this very day. Thanks for this flight. You sir, are a very talented Helicopter Pilot.

My first helicopter ride was in a Bell 47 with my future wife as tourists in Panama City, Florida. I later joined the army and they taught me how to fly. Flew five years, finishing my obligation in a later Bell product, the AH-1S ECAS. Certainly a highlight in my life, but I will always remember fondly that first ride in the 47.
@stewartstephanson51784 жыл бұрын
WOW, brings back memories ! First ever ride in a aircraft, was at Innisfail airdrome, fall of 1962, age 17. It was in the local flying club, Piper PA 12. Anyone know the call letters, club owned it for years I believe. I immediately recognized the area, our family farm was north west near the medicine river. Love helicopters, my second journey in flight was in April 1965. Nordegg AB to Chungo forest lookout near Brazeau river and Jasper Nat Park. It was in a Bell 47J-2 ( CF-AFK ) pilot Jack Lunan on the controls. It was a slow struggle to reach the site at 7425 ASL. Three souls on board, cargo, a propane bottle will do that. This helicopter was later super charged, not sure how much it increased performance tho. ( I was transferred few weeks later to a steel tower site, the service needed my young legs on the ladder ) Over 50 years later, I returned to the old Now abandoned Chungo site, a bucket list item. Went that trip in a R44 Raven, two on board, little cargo, fun for sure! ( got my private fixed wing, May to Aug, 1978 )

In the early 60's when I was a kid the RAAF pilot near my home liked to play " catch me if you can " with the kids there.He landed the Bell on the other side of the field and the children then chased the helicopter.When the children were very near him he would take off and landed on the other side and the children would chase him again.It sèem liked the pilot and the children were having a fun time.I still remember the good old times.

This type of all glassy helicopters arrived surprisingly at Aalo then Along airfield during the first Mopin time , when I was a small boy . They were wearing caps same as this pilot.They clicked photos of Gallo womens ponung dances.Pictures were printed out instantanously , pulled out from the camera and gave us . Perhaps they were Americans / Britishers ,all looked handsome.At least 7/8/9/10/ helicopters arrived at the same time from the sky. Who were they ?
