You're welcome. The Bubble on some early models was only two seats wide, later versions, or it could've been specified on ordering, were three seats wide.

Thanks.

That is why the OEM was transferred by Bell Helicopters and they can be rebuilt and built by the manufacturer for we who love these machines.

They are still being rebuilt. Fully and completely beautiful still, as ever !!

This chopper had a thumping sound while in flight because of its two-blade design, similar to the Huey.

Cunning Cat ~ Yes . Rescue 8 ; Sea Hunt ; and The Whirlybirds . I feel sorry for today's young people . So many bad influences 😕

Sky Dreamer And there was. Rip Cord. About parachuting dudes in different scenarios.. Cool

I remember Whirlybirds with the pilots Chuck and P.T. There would always be a close up shot of the pilot's hand operating one of the control levers when they were taking off.

And M*A*S*H, too.

It is my understanding, that the 2 Bell's are privately owned by their individual Pilots, each of whom are also township Police Officers, in Butler County PA, USA. These are not used for patrol, but would be brought out for searches, and public events in support of Law Enforcement, and Aviation, as seen here. I believe the pilot of the blue Bell is a full time Airline pilot, and part-time Police Officer, who was trained in Helicopters by my Instructor, whom is also a Police Officer.

240RobertA Thank you, your response is very kind. The two pilots extend my appreciation. Technological support is very important, but it should only be a support, a true pilot must be proficient using hand instruments. I greatly appreciate the U.S. flight schools, because they are very efficient. My best wishes for your future. Hugs from Italy. Antonio Arfé www.inacpo.com

My late Grandfather, Lorenzo, was a Carabinieri there in the 1920's..

240RobertA I am a...... Carabinieri's officer. If you want, you can reply antarf@live.it

International Academy of Police Operators Yes, allow me to get as much of his info, which may only be his name, that I can ,and I will contact you at your email address.

Yes. Flying history. Thanks.

Thanks!

Airbus EC-145

I believe you but look what landing on your head did for you.

Film speed gives appearance of not moving but it is.

Yeah, Chuck and PT flying 47's.

Theres no telling how many kids became pilots and aspired to own aircraft because of shows like Whirlybirds, maybe thats what we need today, is some TV shows that portray positive, productive role models for kids.

Yep

David Smith I wish their was some way to figure out how many people choose a career in aviation from shows like Whirlybirds, Sky King, 12 O'Clock High, etc that would be interesting, I hear they are predicting a shortage in all fields of aviation in the next 20 years.

Yeah. Chuck and PT flying Bell 47's. late 50's early 60's maybe. Black and White. That and Sky King were definitely my favorites.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to damage those tail rotors.

Hi, that must be an optical illusion caused by the built in camera filming speed, and the camera lens. I can assure you, it doesn't appear that way in person. An additional contributing factor to that, may be the first version of the KZfaq Editor, which I earlier got some constructive criticism on, which stabilized some segments, by splicing parts out, and stretching the two ends together causing a sliding and slippery appearance.

It's all about frequency of the scan on the video camera and the speed of the tail rotor... Think about the old days of using a strobe light to time a cars ignition. Total optical illusion.

240RobertA is correct...it's an optical illusion.

Yes, I ran its tail numbers, it's a Cessna 177.

Nice, thank you. To me this looks like paradise for plane spotters… so many different small planes and helicopters… :) I love plane spotting because of the sound but recently I have been fascinated by small aircraft and aircraft with turboprop… :) Thanks

+240RobertA The tail number of the airplane at 8:49 is not visible. The float plane shown at that time is not a Cessna 177. The 177 has a cantilever wing.

cat vs dog How many car engines have you seen just quit. These engines are very safe, much more than a Chevy, Ford or any other road vehicle. Don't be afraid of these machines, the maintenance is very strict and you do a visual inspection before every flight.

Jerry Hubbard what about the glass dome its just a toy with death trust me

David Smith yeah seems like people don't know that

David Smith yeah I was at an airshow and they had tanks and etc. Well they had a Huey and if you are really high and the engine fails, the blades will still spin from the wind. If you are a good pilot, you can use the rpm to save your ass when your really close to the ground.

+cat vs dog Any engine can just quit.. anything can happen to any helicopter/plane/car/boat/anything.. this is a amazing of a helicopter just because it may not look the best or may not look the safest it really is a amazing helicopter and some of these u can find pretty cheap and work just as good as other helicopters.

Nmpk!n!nnnnnn Nh Jjjy.,,--!!--yyy

That was me filming it, I was too excited to stand still, I didn't go there with the intent of filming, but there was so much activity going on, once I started filming I kept going, then tried to edit each Helicopter into their own video so I admit its not as smooth as it could be with a tripod, but who wants to carry one of those around?

+240RobertA Great video... Any idea what year/model that cone tailed heli is at 8:26 ? Thanks-

+Martin Pescador That is a 1965 Brantly B2B. I got about 21 Hours in it, N888CF, and another Brantly the school had, since the time I filmed this.You may occassionally hear comments that a Robinson R22 isn't a real Helicopter. That's not true about the Robinson, but it can accurately be applied to the Brantly! This is multiple short videos linked together using the KZfaq editor feature as it was at the time of filming.

+240RobertA Wow.. You got some time in it ! It's a beautiful machine...

You did fine. Filming while moving around dangerous objects you pay attention to your safety first, filming second.
