Mercy Air Helicopter Take Off from Antelope Valley Hospital

[brittXscreamworks]

Just recently, I saw the helicoptor take off, right in front of me, its not something you get to see that often, thanks for the video, doesn't make me so homesick now...

[brittXscreamworks]

Antelope Valley Hospital, the place I was born. Antelope Valley Lancaster, CA, born and raised... I'm now in Bakersfield CA, which is quite far from the A.V. Oh how I miss my home town....... :'(

[braduh1]

ALRIGHT WHO PISSED OF THE BIRDS lmao

[deadea371]

nice

[mileycyrusmusic979]

Nice, Pretty cool.

[64meatpuppets]

Is that thing loud in person?

[kichansilva]

today i was interning at JFK Hospital in I dio Ca. an i was able to get up close to the Mercy Air helicopter while we were lifting a patient from the ER into the helicopter and it was amazing seeing it take off and feeling the wind from the rotors...

[TheBellhelicopterman]

thats not a bell 430 thats a bell 222ut.

[cnielsen123]

I got airlifted by a EC-135 in Qatar. We were ATVing for out in the desert and i broke my leg. And we were so far out they sent A EC-135 out after they tracked the call. It was green

[jasonmyers666]

owe and bye the way the bill was 22,000 dollars. im not even kidding.

[jasonmyers666]

ive had to ride one of those mercy air helicopters for drowning. getting on it was so scary. the sound of those blades when you're under them is very intimidating and freaky.

[Belchmaster41]

@jasonmyers666 you have to be careful not to try and sit up, or you might lose your head

[chrispyRR]

I like Mercy Air the picked me up when I had my accident earlier this year!

[yasiths]

I love the sound of twin rotors!!!

[PLUGS33]

Get out of the way, lady! My daughter and I are trying to watch a helicopter take off.

[mrmige12345]

the lady !!

I see that Antelope Valley Med. Ctr . has regained designation as a Level III Trauma Center . Before , it was a Level II facility competing with Henry Mayo Newhall Mem . Hosp . Med Ctr. in Valencia , the trauma center for the Santa Clarita Valley area of LA County . In my state (Idaho) , there are only two trauma centers . St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise and Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls . Helos are very important in EMS and make a difference .

[muzikbiz001]

i went to anteloe valley high in 99

[greenradman123]

ive been air lifted by them i live in lake arrowhead california

[bugguy905]

EC-135 the best air ambulance and the safest in the world

[Medic83301]

@bugguy905 I agree with that . I live about 128 miles outside of Boise in Twin Falls . St. Alphonsus Life Flight uses two EC135s that are just a few years old and the Bell 430 I have to say is the second safest even though it's a loud bird . The 430 needs constant tune ups to stay on it's game .

[TheBellhelicopterman]

@Medic83301 im sorry to tell u thats not no bell 430 that a bell 222ut i know i fly a 430..

[TheBellhelicopterman]

@bugguy905 no the ec-135 ant they under powered the ec-145s are trust me..

[TheBellhelicopterman]

@bugguy905 no the ec-135 ant they under powered the ec-145s are trust me..

kool

[gianluca109]

complimenti hai scoperto che l'elicottero vola! bel video

[Lurch900]

That same damn suv drives through the shot like three times... SUVs are so annoying

[thedeadman0908]

SUV (super uncool vehicles)

[dogman15]

Thank you. I have been trying to find a video that confirms a helicopter's main rotor blades rotate counter-clockwise and the tail rotor rotates clockwise, or the top side of the tail rotor rotates away from the front. I had a hunch but I wasn't sure.

[Lurch900]

Yep, main rotors rotate counter clockwise and the tail rotors rotate clockwise....

[ccubsfan94]

@Lurch900 basically the tail rotor is to stop the torque from the main rotor

[pf126p]

It varies by manufacturer.

[Lurch900]

It takes us two minutes to fully start up and lift up, I'm the pilot..... Idle for one minutes, then to full power for another minute then we lift off

[medic50646]

daggone that thing has a long start up time ! Most are up in the air considerably quicker - especially considering the crew I'm assuming already did their walk around and stuff and was in.

[pf126p]

Only in the movies are they up in no time. A turbine helicopter has to spool up and a reciprocating model has to warm up, lest it fall for lack of power. It can take even longer, when you test the clutch (or magnetos, but that takes 10 seconds). And that's not counting the pre- and post-flight walk-arounds.

All in all, though, helicopter pilots do still get it up quicker. ;)

[motokid032]

Want to give me some money so I can obtain my HCPL?

[1BustedMyth]

@motokid032 , No free handouts!, you'll have to sweep hangars like the rest of us and save up ! LOL ;)

[felixxxius]

Nice video, congrats i love helicopters, my dream is to own one

[ManiacMovieDestroyer]

mine 2

[FROZYO]

Good luck with that XD

[justtruckincrazy]

To put it simply Zekitty, it's wind. Generated by the rotor blades.

[swatguy1015]

LOL Go wyo7011~! AHAHAHA! Now THATS funny! I doncare who ya are!

[ZeKittie]

What is a rotor wash?

[wyo7011]

Its a soap they put on the blades to keep them smooth and reduce friction. It's really expensive.

[bluehazer]

Same folks that make collective lock, right?

[wyo7011]

Never heard that one. It must be new. haha.

[pf126p]

Actually, there are friction grips for both the collective and cyclic - the former to hold it down and the latter to keep it centered, both on the ground.

[philipyo690]

thATS MERCY AIR AOUT OF MOJAVE I WORK AT AVH IN THE ER, FORGIVE THE SUV THE AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE LEVEL IN AVH IS LOW, SOME OF THE P/T I SEE DO THE MOST FOOLISH THINGS TO BECOME P/T'S, OVERALL THOUGH THE P/T AT AVH ARE VERY NICE AND APPRECIATIVE.

[edmanaguil]

LMAO! Thats for sure man. Working for amr in Antelope valley we see the most retarded things lol

[bbarbed]

That is Mercy Air 14 out of Mojave. It could have been my husband flying...I'd have to look at the work calendar. He does fly into AV often (and he also thinks the SUV is annoying. If you get too close, a windshield could break...or you get some nice pits in the paint. If the blades are rotating enough to get airlift, they are generating enough wind to pit a car that gets too close. People need to have more caution).

[changhomes]

ya, i know, i've been in rotor wash (luckily with helmet and visor down, but still). they need better security to prevent such matters. Thanks for your comment!

[Gabe777]

is that mercy 7, based in pahrump, nv?

[sdrfgvrfgvsfravgdsvS]

hahaha nice sound

[vader9596]

neat
