Rotorfest 2007 - Bell 206 & CH-46

[shairaptor]

the jetranger is a sexy copter. yes, sexy!

[Kilo436]

Wow, that pilot's landing technique could use some work.

[D30N1X]

I think the Bell 206 JetRanger is the most famous helicopter in the world with the Eurocopter EC 145

[sufa256]

Amazing!!!!!

Bad landing he nearly turned over could of killed someone

[dsundlof]

Very poor approach and terrible landing for sure. If you are going to show-off, then at least be much better on the controls and keep it safe at the same time. He hung there in the dead-man's curve so it's fortunate the engine didn't quit.

[stoic61]

that was not a good landing...I would have gotten an F for that at Ft. Rucker. Trying to show off and let it settle before he shoud have and the 206 likes to enter dynamic rollover really easily. But I guess every "safe" landing is a good one.

[kblackav8or]

Nothing wrong with that landing.

[BearCoolTX]

Any landing that doesn't include a loud crunching sound is a good landing.

[demar727]

"that was on top gun"? what an idiot

[jonathane1976]

Thats how I landed yesterday, I need some more practice lol But I only have 12.9 hours. Maybe he needed the toilet and just wanted to be back on the ground.

[helobelow]

Yeh? Well good for you if you can land that well at 12.9hrs...this guy should be able to land better than that...that was a horrible landing! Always fly it until your collective is all the way down pedals nuetral...soft and softer. what are you flyin'?

[jonathane1976]

R22 would prefer to fly one of these jet rangers, but too expensive to begin with, maybe one day?

[helobelow]

It'll come J76. Im a mentor for the AOPA. If you have questions about aviation I'll be glad to try and help. Bell- 47's fly much like a JR without the power. R22 not the safest bird out-there...maybe a school with a Schwietzer or Bell would be a better choice. All the best. Drew/Commercial Heli Pilot

[ianrkav]

@helobelow You would recommend the Scweizer 300 over the R-22?

[Attilaakiraly]

Might be a stupid comment but the Jetranger has written itself into the history books it's such a classic aircraft in helicopter aviation!

[Jexington80]

Seeing this just reminded me of The A-Team as they always had a Jet Ranger in that!

[BLODRUMPE]

haha, this video was on the related videos list when I watched a RC Helicopter vid. So I tougth the heli was remote controlled. lol

[kangaroojack1]

[kangaroojack1]

[iweberdudei]

[notar1]

[iweberdudei]

[notar1]
