Flying a Hughes 269-A Helicopter in the Philippines

[iamsonny7]

You're a good pilot but Im worried about your take off and sudden turns. Im from the Philippines now living in New York and I really appreciate your great help. Happy flying and be safe.

@iamsonny7 Just to make everything clear. That wasn't me flying. That was Dwayne, the helicopter pilot there at the time.  I just filmed and went up for a ride.

[michaelmiller85]

Well, look at it this way. It would be a lot better than a hughes 269A

[MrGoldenmango]

R44 for medical transport????? Got to be kidding.

[Chopper894]

You dont hang about do you.

Reckless flying!!!!! How on earth 'Dwayne' has not managed to end up in pieces I really do not know!! If you used a SAFE departure procedure it might look very uninteresting, but he'd have twice the chance of getting the helicopter back on the ground safely than with his current style of flying.

I am not making this up, I am not just an internet nerd, I have over 1600 hours flying helicopters.

I have flown the R22, R44, B206 and the EC155B1

Dwayne, please be careful dude!!!!

3 people on a Hughes 269A? How does it performs???

[michaelmiller85]

@lulapilot very limited on power that is for sure.

The hughes helicopters and schwiezer 300 are built like a brick!

Any word on the R44? You're going to love it. Nice flying and Be Safe

[michaelmiller85]

No word on the R44 yet, at least to my knowledge.

[michaelmiller85]

@TamakoAkai I actually just got word. Looks like someone is donating at Raven 2 for the project, but am not sure if it will be used to start up a new base or to upgrade from the Hughes 269. Hopefully to upgrade in my opinion.

really cool video, Michael. I love those small helicopters like the Hughes 269 or R22.
