Thank you for sharing! Shame about your misfortune...

@@meow121.5 no way. Essential education and a ton of fun, just a mite costly.

@@danielmichels1687 check out eric clopper’s show on yt if you want to see something costly lol

Dude you sound like my old man! We grew up in City Island NY next to the only seaplane base left in ny. I grew up flying a 77 lake buccaneer and even attended Queens Avation high school where I received my A&P license. After 9/11 things just changed it was all so terrible! This comment just reminded me of my dad and great memories thanks man

I guess the crew chief is having his coffee.

you mean tom hanks!

As a student pilot years ago, I also make these checks. I am very very thorough with my preflights.

@@envitech02 yes sir its better to find a problem on the ground than in the air!!!!

Scott Just Scott, On the contrary, My dad once owned an H-19 and several other helicopters over the years doing helicopter logging, Ariel firefighting and construction with them when he once ran his own helicopter business. He checked every part of his helicopters. Every helicopter pilot, and mechanic check all that parts moving and non moving parts.

Made many flights on these in the 60s. No jumps but did a few repels. Loved them.

And at Fort Rucker, Alabama!

and rescue some shot up comrades ;/

Definitely bring an iron and 2 five gallon buckets of starch!

I am thinking that after we extract that team North of the border we go to DC and fly Jack and Jackie out to Camp David

So.....next Tuesday

@@jimlascola let the “comrades” lay where they failed

They were made from cotton and you could spray with starch and iron or just send the to the Army's Quarter Master laundry and ask for hanger service. An old trick I use to do for real sharp creases, I would turn them in side out, put masking tape on the crease, then turn right side out and iron. You could cut cold butter. lol

@@fido3561 AMEN to that

The days before flame retardant flight suits and gloves.

@@lolathedog3108 Before NOMEX was invented in the early 60s.

A Crispy starchy uniform, hope they didn't starch the undies as well boxer shorts? I was born the following year on Lackland Air Force Base San Antonio, my dad who is a medic or doctor got orders to incirlik Air Base turkey which we moved in 58, came back in 1960, relocated to Amarillo Air Force Base, a lot of nice memories back in 57,58, we moved to Houston and 65 after going back to San Antonio for two years oh, my bad my dad was transferred to Danang Vietnam after that

Hahahaah... you can lose your head inside there

Well, the oil only comes in 5 gallon cans. Which begs the question: How much oil did these babies drink?

some leaks means some oil is in there :D:D

As the owner of a Land Rover Defender, I can approve :-P

@@troncologne hahah my son-in-law works for Land Rover and we looked at buying one but he warned us of the issues.

Haha so true, I was a young jarhead when I learned from a crew chief “leaks or drips are the norm” if everything is bone dry there are seal problems. That was something I looked for on every bird I would get into. Mostly ch46 or 53. Great air taxis

Hahah that’s funny as hell....the same situation for me! We must of had the same crew chief! Flew from Camp Pendleton to San Clemente Island and I told the crew chief that there’s a oil leak and he’s like 👍 That’s a good sign!

They should put a few white flags for rapid surrender . Lol

I was a crew members on UH 34Ds in South Vietnam and loved them and the other US Marines who flew in them

One of these flew me out of Tam Ky to Da Nang when I came home from Vietnam. That was in 1967. They were good at providing medevacs for us, even at night.

I believe there is one on the hanger deck of the USS Hornet in Alameda. I'll have to check my photos or sources for which model it is. Looks just like this one but might be older or newer.

yeah, cuz your life sucks. maybe put in some effort

@@krebgurfson5732 Their are things in life we simply cannot change, like political landscape, or ass holes like yourself in the comment section.

@@JustAnother_Irishman oh please, it's so cringe to hear people act like other eras are a better time to live than now. those people put no effort into their lives now, why would the 40s want them?

The Supreme Court has SPOKEN: NO IQ testing for employment Education is mandatory No govt related prayer Civil Rights will not be constrained

Or your ear!!! Man it hurts like hell and takes days to stop hurting! But that old time leaded 100 octane was nice and clean and smelt a lot different to todays poor excuse for fuel .

@@Mercmad has always had 7777ways to do every job .

What rank ?

Yep - even starred as the "Screamin' Mimi" in a TV show years ago.

Its too old now its been destroyed

@@Person84112 , not correct. There are still a few flying. I know of one in Oklahoma and another in Alabama. In Arizona there is one being restored as well.

@@ParkerUAS oh ok, I didn’t know that

I luv my crew chiefs. I break 'em, you fix 'em, and then I break 'em again for you.

"INSPECT FORREST! INSPECT!!"

Well that turbine must have knocked a week off the preflight inspection.

I thought that too))

Larry Hagman

"I'm not a verra smart man, but I do know how to pretrip an H-19 for lieutenant Dan"

An NCO would be detailed to do this in real life I'll betcha

fuel check that is :D

they were more concerned with the job.. only 2021 are people worried about booboos. Is this Jet Fuel PABA free?!

Well he did put Tom Hanks as his name in the log book at the end.

no..larry hagman

Next time we need a notebook and a pen to write all the detail, just in case.

When you decide to take up flying lessons, you’ll learn to do a preflight walk around on your Cessna 150/152 or 172 or R22 if you’re going for rotary wing rating. Initially you’ll use a printed checklist that will help you to check all of the things that need looking at. After you’ve done it a few times, you’ll be able to accomplish the preflight without the checklist but then double check with the checklist to make sure you didn’t miss anything. After you have your pilot license, you’ll likely have to learn the preflight for a larger aircraft than you were first trained in. That’s what’s happening in this training film. Don’t worry. You’ll remember all this shit. You wanted to be a pilot, right?

Hey, I went through that when I was testing for my CDL-A back in the day. "How am I gonna remember all this?"

Yep, guilty. I even replayed a few sections several times because I couldn't recall the exact sequence after the first pass. 😂

@@josepablo011986, now? Save to your phone, then mount it in front of you!

My dad was the flight mechanic on one of these at Whidbey Island naval base in Washington State until the pilot got caught in a fog bank and took it into the drink.

My dad flew them in the air force, he was flying them in sault ste marie Michigan

We never know when we gonna need to fly an Sikorsky H-19

i think too that's Larry Hagman

3. Check spelling of "Cornelius." :P

while cockpit is in the rotor...

+rkan2 Yeah! I caught that and was laughing....they're all leakers. ;)

That's how you check the oil on a radial engine. If its leaking the oil level if fine.

If engines from that age do not leak oil you suspect there is no oil inside them

For normal operation you and the helicopter should smell like fuel.

and PUT OUT THAT CIGARETTE first!

It was a different time... lol

Now you got a cup to catch it in, so you can check for water. Not sure how you could check that, or anything else for that matter, besides ensuring 100LL smells like 100LL, and you don’t have any boulders in the tank.

@@jaysmith1408 Boulders would be a Bad Sign™ 🤣

B.A. Gage, Maybe they gave him the day off from I Dream of Jeannie

ALL Aviation Fuels(any hydrocarbon fuel for that matter) are carcinogenics and will eventually cause cancer with prolonged contact without using PPE. I used to steal protective vinyl gloves from my Oil Company Employers to do my fuel checks for PPL/IMC/MULTI & Instrument Ratings. Even my Examiner thought I was a "cissy" !

S58T, had the Pratt & Whitney Turbine Twin pack installed.
