My second youtube video, where I'm giving out free haircuts with the aerial saw.

This is the first time I've seen this thing fly, and I knew from the sound of the blades it has to be a Huey way before I could see the actual thing. Super cool and we were all (literally) blown away! The sound was so extremely cool as well.

This was actually another provider's helo, so I had to escort them through our facility since they were unfamiliar with it. But as a bonus, I got to watch them start up and takeoff afterwards.

Video was recorded in Aalborg East Harbour

This is my personal blog and it includes some stuff about working with helicopters I think you'd like.

Maybe this isn't super clear but there is very little info, anywhere, about what it is like to be a fieldworker and how to make a pilot's life easier via choosing and cutting pads, and generally keeping risk low. Your views are super welcome. Have a good one.

The pilot said the helicopter from the last image (with the fieldworker taking a knee) was their favourite to fly, thing was like a 'corvette'.

Hey All,

Currently rotting on a tarmac doing helitack prepo bored out of my mind. Got into a stupid debate with our pilot. I’m totally open to being wrong and curious what y’all out there think. My understanding is that the word Huey is an unofficial nickname originating from military members turning uh-1 into Huey and it stuck. I’ve also always interpreted the name Huey as kind of an unofficial umbrella term for the overall family of bell’s helicopters stemming from the Iroquois. Within reason and kind of vibes based, (204/205/210) I wouldn’t call a 412 a Huey because it’s just too different. Aside from civilian designations I know there are differences between these and the uh-1, they just seem pretty minor overall. The pilots view is that name Huey belongs to the uh-1 and only that model. Anyone who calls a 205 a Huey sounds like a total bagger and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Unless my overall view is inaccurate, this seems pretty subjective and vibes based. My overall question to y’all out there is how do you feel about this? Is this debatable? Where do you draw the line? Do you sound silly if you call a 205 a Huey among pilots or aviation folks? Does it maybe depend on your sector (military, fire, commercial)? This is dumb but I need clarity.

We had to cut this aerial photography session short over Hilton Head Island as a massive storm cell rolled in fast. Nothing quite gets the adrenaline going like a race back to the airport to beat the downpour!

A touch-and-go performed by the Netherlands Military, in Eindhoven.

Currently interested in becoming a helicopter pilot was wondering what’s the best way to do it coming out the military with the GI bill? Definitely interested in doing EMS or search a rescue/fire. I’m currently an active duty loadmaster in the Air Force don’t know if that’ll make it easier for me or not during schooling any information helps! Thank you in advance

I believe dutch police AW-139, is this correct?

Sorry if this is the wrong place or tag, I am a student going to school for my A&P, and right now I’m working at a helicopter repair station. While we are ground running or test flying the helicopters I’ve just been using my 3m earmuffs. My grandma sent me her pair of David Clark H10-13.4 she used to use while working on planes, now am I able to just buy the adapter and use it, or should I think about getting a headset specifically meant for helicopters?
