Join us for our first ever (flying) video podcast shot on location near MD Helicopters facility in Mesa Arizona featuring MD Pilot CJ Schneider and Jeff Ratkovich. During the flight, you will see the beautiful area MD uses as its training ground which includes the Salt River, beautiful saguaro cactus, and some mountainous desert terrain. Wild horses are even seen as they traverse the area.
CJ and Jeff chat about many things aviation as they explore the Arizona desert backcountry.
At the end of the flight, you will see CJ demonstrate a full-down autorotation at their home airport Falcon Field.
Thank you to MD’s Ashley Sanchez for making this video podcast happen. What began as us looking for great video content turned into a video podcast after seeing and hearing the content captured during the flight.

Man I have always loved the 5xx's the Ferrari of the sky. And the shock value of those kayakers in that first roll would be priceless 😂

I have no flight experience, only time I have been in a plane was a single engine Cessna at the Riverside Airshow when I was a kid, maybe 14 or so. My dad got me one of those flights where they go up and do a loop around the city and land again. That was fun, it was back in about 1998 or 1999ish. I also too a helicopter tour of the Crazy Horse monument when I was around 9 or 10. My dream one day would be to get my PPL and be able to pilot a helicopter as well. I have been watching videos on the MD factory and watching other KZfaqrs do the factory training. The scenery around Mesa and flying up the Salt River looks amazing. I would love to fly around Lake Havasu and go up around the river. I started out as an explorer in 98 with RSO and did some type of law enforcement ever since until 2022. I was a deputy last 10 years in a very rural county in Nevada. Was K9, FTO, rangemaster. LE is the best job ever, always wanted to do a fly along with RSO or RPD. Grew up watching Air-1 flying everywhere around Riverside when I was growing up. My best friend spent last 10 years at RPD as well. Happy flying and have fun in TN!

My 1st flight as a kid was in a 500. Great episode guys. I was also looking at all those trails out there. Would be cool to be jeering out there and get buzzed by a MD helo.

Great flight, got to ride in Air 1 back in the early 80’s. 😊😊

Flying helicopters at low altitude, close to the ground, is completely different from airplanes. much more enthusiastic. It's a shame they're so expensive

Great flight in a beautiful area, not sure I would tell FAA that you teach your crew how to hover etc. Not being an instructor.

Sensacional.

Great vid. Not sure about the announcer dude's overly dramatic voice at the beginning, but anyway -- is there a way to change the video recording framerate so that the MFDs don't flash? It's pretty destracting
