The most amazing sounding helicopter in the world, bar none. Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful machine… her sound, her shape, her movements… love her so much! A dream for me…

Great video, and thank you for Not adding music, just letting us listen to the machine!!!!! 😀😀

Mi amigo piloto de helicópteros manejó en su juventud este modelo para rescate y otras misiones, en el que viaje por trabajo en varios viajes por Asturias España, con los años la empresa se moderniza con tres más nuevos de dos marcas y última tecnología en 2023 prestan servicio público a los asturianos en toda sus variantes de utilidad, salvamento, rescates de montaña, marítimo y traslados de heridos a hospitales. Un buen video para el recuerdo. Un saludo.

Great and nice video : I like hearing the real sound of a helicopter, and what a nice old sound this piston rotary one. What's more, we really attend the "show" from just a minimal distance... what a pleasure. Thank's very much.

From my point of view, whoever is flying has a good control touch... nice to see and hear!

This is awesome, to some it's not a pretty price of equipment but to me it is. What I like about it is it holds what an adventure would need for a work horse enviorment.

isn't that the coolest chopper ever build? great video :)

Great video! Never gets boring watching a startup! That sure is a big helicopter, and although noisy, I bet it's a very smooth ride!

I, too, love radial engine sound. I was a Thai aircraft engineer working in AIR AMERICA, Udorn, Thailand during the secret war in Laos. UH 34 was later changed to a new turbine engine, S 58, at the time I worked there.

What a good video bud!!!!! I enjoyed it so much,thanks,

Wow! It's a long time since I last saw one of those with that big Wright radial up front, and even then it was a highly-polished "preserved" example, not a working aircraft like this one. Must by type conversion or similar, since whoever is handling it clearly knows what he's doing. Thanks for posting.

Love to have one. Absolutely perfect

Add this to my wish list.

Piece of Art that flies

Wow, I have never heard a radial engine in a helicopter before. I have seen them, but not heard them run. Awesome.

good شكرا

Epic equipment. Harley of the helicopters. To fly one of these is pretty Sik 🤙🏻

This is screaming mi mi with white paint.....still love the radial sounds....hope the centrifugal clutch was inspected!....the size of clutch it takes to hold up to 1800 h.p...must be immense.

Wow! Amazing video!

Such a cool aircraft

Pure soud. Great video

Would love to learn to fly one of these 😍

Nice video!

Awesome ❤️

ESTO ES LO MÁS EMOCIONANTE.

Fantastic video, I used to watch H34s fly around Stout Field when I was younger.

Awesome, flying grandfather

I used to live near where this was at.....those things always looked kinda sketchy to me.....they hover over cherry orchards after a rain to blow the water off the cherries so they dont split.....woke up to the sound of one of these many mornings.

i love this bird

Now, I want to build that 1/48th scale Revell kit.

Ya got to love any helicopter that sounds like that.

Impressive. Has 1st class and economy cabins! lol Cheers!

Nice...! Where...? Not basic Rotor Wing training... Must be transition acft training...? NICE Vid... Thanks, Gordon

I choose to be the camera man on the ground

1973 Sikorsky S55 Agostense Mar Mari

I guess these had a gearbox/transmission? it sounds like there is a gear change at startup.

Screaming Mimi, but only nearly as the mimi was turbine driven!

Not bad for a 66 year old bird. 19 July 1957

I wonder, how many hours of maintenance for 1 hour of flight? I wonder, what does it cost per hour to rent/fly the H34?

👍👍👍👏👏👏

How much and were is this school at ....?

I wonder how much water would the S-58 haul in a Bambi bucket

It’s the helicopter version of the VW beetle van

AO-DOZ 1994 SIKORSKY S55 TRAIN RENFE

Is it normal for this aircraft to have multiple start attempts? I don’t think I’ve seen a video where it started up on the first go.

in the military it would be referred to the H-34 UH-34 Choctaw as its still powered by a Wright R-1820-84 radial engine 1525 HP. some were converted to turbine power with two P&W Canada pt6t engines twin pack. this aircraft in current piston engine form will meet the collection requirements of Kermit Weeks of Fantisy of Flight in Polk City Florida as his collections for aircraft are up to wwll and after wwll for airliners and early helicopters. as he has three Sikorsky S-55 Chickasaw helicopters a Sikorsky S-38 replica in restoration a Sikorsky S-39 Spirit of Igor rebuilt by Dick Jackson 40 years 40,000 manhour restoration. and a Sikorsky S-43 formally owned by Howard Huges. as this S-58 would be great for weeks collection as he is the sikorsky king.

Screaming Mimi^^

Shifting gears??

It's so ugly; it's beautiful

Let's talk about fuel consumption...

I love that thing. Hence it is running on a pistion engine, it could be kit aircraft based on a chevy engine, I think. #provos

Oh boy that don’t sound to good

Love and Hate this Helicopter.. It looks Ugly like a tadpole.. But loved the sound and legacy of the helicopter.. Nevertheless its only Helicopter that you can pop the Hood and check engine while engine running and Rotor spinning.. Try that on new turbine jet helicopter. 😮
