AMAZING HELICOPTER PILOT

[nolifemerc]

great vid. but amazing ....ok

[Cptfady]

Nope, chuck testa.

[cdsp98]

I've seen video of German pilots slipping into a pipeline right-of-way (where they cut the trees to dig the pipeline, just barely wider than rotor) for fifty yards or so between trees, pop up and fire off some missiles, drop back down, and then BACK OUT of the lane, all movement in and out below the tree-top level. That was insane.

[armor22150]

Bof, pas de quoi casser trois pattes à un canard là... : (

[TupolevTech]

no tail rotor



[Gnomleif]

@TupolevTech Nah, it uses the NOTAR system.

[xRodrigoBorgesx]

isn't it an Virgin Helicopter?

[RcLento]

What z incredible and amazing,he just landed and took off !

[ajjamz]

Um nice Vid TY for Posting. But i have to Admit it isnt that impressive. Uncomon maybe But Ive seen Pilots land in much smaller areas with hazzards. Again thou TY for posting it.

[LuckyUnited]

ppl come down ,i forgot my bodylotion:D

[SureFoxFire]

a twelve years old on youtube can do a better job than that

[hdpcshow]

is that in holland?

[dirtyarris]

that WAS fucking amazing, the size of bollox it takes to even attempt that, let alone the trust you have in support crew to make sure there are no telephone wires or other cables and wires found criss crossing the typical uk highstreet.

Top pilot without a shadow of a doubt.

[akash7180]

What WAS Amazing in THat

[Getter0Done]

you guys should see some of the pilots in northern canada, you can jump 10 feet from a small 500 onto the side of a mountain and he wont move an inch! Thats how you get into places no one goes.

[1germanizer]

Really? Incredible? Incredibly lame! So he landed on the street....BFD!

[airinfmed]

@1germanizer I know right, try landing the back wheels of a CH-47 on top of a house and loading someone in. THATS incredible.

[Arkitekture]

Looks like Kilburn?

[Flightspotting]

Yeah, it reminds me of GTA IV. The whole time I was waiting for the familiar kling sound what lamp posts do in GTA, while I am taking off.. :D

[blackiceromance1991]

Helicopter with NOTAR system....:D love it...

[letmeusethisnamenow]

It's London's Air ambulance

[jdhiner1]

As long as the rotor clears and enough power its simple

[TheArfdog]

Not smart.

[Ashburn1232]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIINCCCCCCCREEEEDIBBLEEEEE­EEEEEEE

[TheTravelman98]

It says virgin... It could be richard branson

[DemonPhotography]

The Helicoptor is an MD902 Explorer and what makes it so special and suitable for flying in densely populated areas is the lack of a tail rotor

[MichiganFann]

@DemonPhotography yeah its pretty small

[jamesandtanya]

thats RAF training for ya

[dareal81]

What's the make and model of this helicopter?

[unfamegascan]

Ambulance powered by Virgin?

[BuclkeNutz]

Wow toffer125, you sir ... impress easily.

[cashmab]

No room for engine/transmission failure on this one.

[samsterno9]

probably served in Nam

[jeremyawesomebot]

@samsterno9 doubt it, i dont quite recall the brits being a part of that one

[krbosak]

Taking off was realtively easy compared to how did he landed there.

[mtthomo]

Could just imagine the conversation between pilot and air traffic control..... eeerrrr oubout to takeoffff frim the weeee cite are orr you know what i mean. go have a bath ya filty pommy gits

[santo11072]

Helicopter of Royal London Hospital located in whitechapel London

[RoodySuf]

> senses & power ;) thank you for sharing..

[mitsucanter247365]

Think thats london, Also pretty sure thats the "lifeline" helicopter. Responds to accidents and takes people to hospital.

[tobacco311]

fuck me i forgot the milk! pmsl.

[creativechap]

is this in amsterdam?

[barbus2012]

he looking for the head shop to grab that bong

[emp29]

Did he have to pay for parking?

[wolfe1970]

someones being playing to much GTA !!

[nara94]

much respect for these guys

[CPreng358]

Sound of the rotors is like butta

[Maverickoffroader]

cant stand the man, gota stick his nose into everything, cant keep away an let other ppl do the jobs

[lostindiancamp]

That Virgin guy is such a pompous ass.

[bringabongalong1]

Thats the air ambulance you dicks. Its a charity so virgin help to sponsor them.  RB is a legend.

[DxsPro]

landing would have been cooler to see

[BeachSumo]

Branson's wife was short or BodyShop Face cream and had to pop into town. While there she pick up a new handset from Phone4U

[HesitantEvil]

GTA, mother fucker!!!

[Gioagla]

virgin ...uk ....

[olirow]

@Gioagla

You know

[stylebo417]

girl at home wanted some stuff from the Body shop. Easy as that

[opek1969]

serch "Insane Helicopter Pilot" o - yea

[opek1969]

whats the big deal? helicopters do go straight up you know

[J1I9M7M4Y]

@opek1969 Yeah.. And there is probably no turbulence between the buildings. The heli itself doesn´t create any turbulence..

[KillWithFire12]

@opek1969 You obviously don't know anyting about flying a helicopter.

[rullykhalifah]

the pilot learning thiz from GTA 4

[solarday]

London's Virgin's helicopter ambulance amazing & saved someones life no doubt.

[lunhil12]

@solarday If that's the case then bravo to them. What a great job they do.

[abelmatser]

And not a single fuck was given that day

[JASON1065]

gta right here

[KGzII]

lol it was just Richard Branson poppin into the body shop :)

[wehehertanto]

Shopping in London :D

[policechiefronaldo]

Virgin America?

[Jskrapper]

NOTAR FTW.

[dondycluck]

magic sound of the Boeing 747 ;)

[TheFr3sh1]

Do these have height velocity diagrams?  thanks

[transdrole]

Nothing 'amazing' here.

[TheBreacherAngi1993]

Magic sound of dem MD 900 Explorer!

[54spatula]

You can travel the world, you can snort coke from the queens tits, but you can't beat a good helicopter launch......from a high street!!

[TheAustrianOwner]

i dont get the amazing part...i mean its just his job and if you cant do your job.. yea...

[rcbif101]

Puts street sweepers to shame!

[thornbottle]

i do this in BF3 all the time, its easy

[PizzaBones101]

looks like the queen went shopping again

[pow1983]

Love the way the main roter looks it is only doing 2mph

[zcg3]

This is fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fake...

[TheBasijiKiller]

@zcg3 Fake like ur MUM

[TheBasijiKiller]

HAHA THIS IS IN, LONDON, HAMMERSMITH

[gusyboyy]

@TheBasijiKiller Nah It's definitely high street Kensington.

[lukewilliams010]

like.... a..... boss..... nuff said

[Burghbhoy1]

the pilot obviously was in phones 4 u getting a top up !

[31sweetcorn]

What so big about that?

[mack29AFC]

well thats one way to do the weekly shop

[bramwing]

AD - not a fake at all, the rotors look slow because the digital impulses of a camera sychronise with propellors and blades etc. Look at any home camera shots of propellor a/c or helos and you'll often the same effect.

[2JAMMY]

Luckily he was parked just adjacent to The Body Shop. Just in case new bits were needed.

[optyqus]

Notice that it's a NoTailRotor helicopter (aka NOTAR).

[ADTheAwesome]

fake if you were actually looking it's rotors were going way to slow to fly

[zyawotha]

@ADTheAwesome you probably though the titanic sinking was fake too. its caused by the frame rate of the camera and the rpm of the blades that give the illusion of the blades turning slowly

[lardman2228]

@zyawotha troll just won ;)

[LiverpoolfcEPL]

@ADTheAwesome you sir, are fucking retard. thats all.

[bubbabeatiful]

@LiverpoolfcEPL that makes no sense , learn english then come back and try to type in a youtube post , kk thx gg

[LiverpoolfcEPL]

@bubbabeatiful what makes no sense? "kk thx gg" now that makes no sense at all.

[j14mp]

@LiverpoolfcEPL No idea why your calling him a "retard"... but why does everyone say "you sir" before an insult? lol It's so weird.

[LiverpoolfcEPL]

@j14mp he said this video is fake and I said hes an unintelligent person in a good mannered way :)

[j14mp]

@LiverpoolfcEPL haha hey at least saying "you sir" is a polite way to start an insult.

[Securitymanist]

@LiverpoolfcEPL WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU FUKCING ON ABOUT GAYBOY?

[LiverpoolfcEPL]

@Securitymanist don't use capslock please, it making you look like a dick on youtube and im not gay unless I fuck your asshole.

[TheSmiffy117]

@ADTheAwesome your one of those people that always say fake fake fake  its real so put that in ya pipe and smoke it

[mgoblue37]

@ADTheAwesome it's just how the camera works that makes it look like that

[ADTheAwesome]

@mgoblue37 thank you for not blowing up at me like those other morons

[karlstockbridge1991]

@ADTheAwesome You are an idiot, This happens when the frame rate of the video camera is an offset match to the speed of the rotors, looking like they move slowly. If the frame rate matched the speed of the rotors exactly.....it would look like theyre not moving AT ALL.

[biri3d]

@ADTheAwesome AHAHAH Stupid!!!

[punisher1990]

@ADTheAwesome Not sure if troll... Or just retarded.

[rakkhard]

typical of posts like these, you get peeps who know everything about everything arguing... lame

[tubeseek41]

Is it Queen Elisabeth's copter making a stop at the Body Shop for her ?

[nighttrain334]

At the end the guy said incredible sound like fry lock off aquateen!

[mdr279]

Where was this and why was the chopper there? Nice video btw

[rajivsahoomail]

14 people are fighter pilot

[AntC1981]

This chopper has thrust vectoring instead of a tail rotor, which may well help with landings and take offs like this. I know with a tail rotor I have to give it a good bit of peddle to counter the kick to the side.

[mjm9536]

@AntC1981 ... you have no concept of what notar is. Look into it. and as a helo pilot its not skillfull at all lol. Anytime you land a helicopter you are putting it within 2 or 3 inches of where you want when you want it if not closer.

[AntC1981]

@mjm9536 Notar? Sounds like you have no concept. I speak of experience, you speak of shouting on the internet.

[1Gabrielsson1]

wow, that is a great pilot. that landing and taking off must been pretty hard and not to mention dangerous. not much space for errors. great video.

[MrMichaelpsmith]

I've seen these guys (lifeflight chopper pilots) put a chopper down between a telephone pole and a billboard with about 15 feet of clearance on each side, in a 15 MPH crosswind. If you don't think these guys are frickin artists with balls of titanium, then get in a chopper and take it up. I'd give you about 15 seconds before you turned it upside down.

[DailyBuster]

FAKE! LOOK AT HOW SLOW THE RODER THINGIES ARE FLYING AT :40 LOL

[MrLowAltitude]

@DailyBuster You idiot... That's due to the cameras frame rate. In real, they are turning much, much faster.

[DailyBuster]

@MrLowAltitude OH YEAH LOL I 4GOT THAT HELICOPTER VIDEOS ARE FAKWE

[TheRAMPAGE233]

@DailyBuster  Your fucking retarted

[DailyBuster]

@TheRAMPAGE233 only retards spell retarded retartded and stop hacking

[theoriginalmyky]

Its the london air ambulance as sponsored by Virgin

[anthnchav9]

THATS A GREAT PILOT.

[F22DarkRaptor]

FAKE !!! Helicopter don't exist :D

Nice vid and nice piloting !

And MrOmniscient11 +1 and yes for the point thirdly we can see the helicopter "lean" at the opposite side of the closest building during climb, its not extremely hard, its a little like wing compensation, but its not easy and far to be easy...

[MikeHacks]

It's not that hard. When you're on flat Ground. You just press ''W'' and it goes up in the air.

[danielvincentkelley]

I think a lot of how much skill that seemed to possess had to do with the power of the relatively light helicopter. I'm not knocking his skills. But you can make any job easy with the right tools. By the trees not moving apart from the blade wash and the stagnant clouds, it wasn't at all windy. This straight lift off doesn't seem so "amazing", maybe if all you've ever flown were listing jalopy's, maybe then you'd think this was "amazing".

[raynkar]

@danielvincentkelley

An interesting reply there.Do I take it you have never flown a helicopter?

You seemed to have missed out on all of the things that would make this difficult, and wind really isn't one of them! The lamp post, close buildings (one one side only!!!), side slip and recirculation or FOD yes, but not wind

[danielvincentkelley]

@raynkar

You're saying high wind doesn't impose a control challenge on a helicopter? Idiot. That lacking high wind makes it easier to control a helicopter, obviously, is not so obvious to you. What would have REALLY made this difficult, is if the helicopter being flown wasn't a sh1t tight airship. Obviously the helicopter in this video is a precision machine. It's the difference between flying an apache or a cobra. Anybody who thinks that's hard, may have flown a cobra, never an Apache.

[raynkar]

@danielvincentkelley

Hmm, just re read my comment and no I didn't say high wind doesn't impose a control challenge. If you bother to read read my post you will see that.....Maybe you could then reflect on your 'idiot' comment lol

I said it was not a deciding factor in this video (and not being blind I could see the wind state as I suspect you can too !!!!

I noticed you never challenged my mentioning the buildings (on one side only) and the issue that imposes

[raynkar]

@raynkar

I also have to add that you are posting as an expert (by rubbishing others comments), so tell me, how much less of a prescision machine do you think a whisky cobra is compared to a D model Apache.....I'm interested to know...............Not that either are remotely in the same league as this chopper in this vid lol

I've flown niether, with my experience being only only European helicopters and licence built sea kings.

[danielvincentkelley]

@raynkar

Cobra has 2 blades. This is a law of fluid dynamics: 2X the blade area gives 4X the power. So the Super Cobra is easily outpowered by the Apache, unless the Apache was equipped with 1/4th power engine, which it is not. Apache's actually 600 shp more powerful than the cobra. PLUS it has twice the blade area.

[raynkar]

@danielvincentkelley

Hi again. This is getting silly now!

Do you think you can stick with actually reinforcing your original claims?

You mentioned 'precision' (thus control ability and stability), not lift power. If precision was down to the number of blades then a Hiller trainer would be as precise as a cobra!

Which would you rather fly in high winds lol

[danielvincentkelley]

@raynkar

The Sea King has 5 bigger blades than the Cobra, but it's under powered (400 shp beneath the Cobra) and heavier (about 5000 pounds) AND it's a massive sail to catch the crosswind, all of which add up to a not very nimble flying machine, which is why I'd guess you're impressed with this take off, even being a heli pilot. I'm sure the Apache is more powerful than the chopper in this video.

[danielvincentkelley]

@raynkar

This is what you have to do with a helicopter to impress me.

watch?v=5bFLSaeoQs4

[raynkar]

@danielvincentkelley

I looked up that clip, and have to say that I'm far too tubby to fit in that hahahahaha

Flying that impresses me is: any flying where there are baddies shooting at you (did you read about the RAF pilot who took a round to his helmet while in a Chinook some time back, and still kept control of a damaged aircraft?)

Helicopters are fragile things, and no matter what side the flyers are on, they get my biggest respect. That linked vid was impressive :)

[raynkar]

@danielvincentkelley

It's been good chatting with you, but I haven't been doing any work while typing, so need to get on and do something lol :)

[danielvincentkelley]

That there was NOT high wind, didn't make this take off much easier? Really though it's a deciding factor in ALL helicopter take offs. High wind makes a great control challenge. No wind, makes heli control much easier. I don't deny the challenge of the recirc off the wall, but really, there's like 50 feet from the blade tip to the wall. So fighting that rotor wash was no huge challenge. The poles would only have been a big problem if there was a high wind preventing straight up liftoff.

[raynkar]

@danielvincentkelley

Hi again. You seem hung up on the wind aspect. Yet again I never said it made it easier or harder! BUT as me and you can SEE the wind was negligible in this case I don't know why you keep mentioning it. If the wind was doing forty knots towards the buildings then we would be focused on it, but its not is it. On the other hand, I make the building fronts only 20 feet from the rotor tip (and the post closer), as the car parked there is only 14 feet long.

[raynkar]

@danielvincentkelley

Part two lol

I'm sure you also know that the issue with the pole being that close is that the close proximity of the building front would naturally pull the helicopter, and thus disk towards the lamp post. Yet again not a high wind issue, but a recirculation one :) Neither of us know the fuel load or internal loading of the helicopter either (think very big fat bloke on a stretcher lol), so we can't say the heli has high power for the take off either

[bahrest2]

a bank robber has requested a helicopter

[Quillons1]

It's a max performance takeoff. Outside of the psychological mindfuck of being that close to buildings, this maneuver is on the private pilot PTS. Not that difficult. Dangerous? Certainly, but pulling pitch and maintaining your drift? Private pilot stuff. Having said that, still ballsy and a cool vid. I'm still impressed. Try doing that in a less powerful ship, though and it's game over. This is just as much a demo of the ship's ability as it is the pilot's.

[JcMrry]

My Sea King would be a tight fit, top job well done

[charliepossenriede]

i can do that.... on gta IV

[MrTubbymarshall]

there is, and always will be, a lot of ignorance from youtube viewers. this is some pilot. 'Copters are notoriously unstable and to do this, from where he is, deserves a big cheer.

[IngiltereliTURK]

fucking virgin media money comes with money !!

[thomas93498]

how is this amazing? he took off. And 12Edix21, how the hell else do u think he got there?

[paulsfon]

big deal

[F4TCHICK3N100]

does it say virgin on the side of it(by virgin i mean the company)

[MrOmniscient11]

@tburns7v You're correct about the complications, and that a properly trained pilot could do that, but you gotta realise the average youtube viewer can't even fly Helicopters on Battlefield 3. But hey, good luck explaining vortex ring state on youtube. Wrong place, wrong medium.

[kc03300]

medivac helicoptor can land anywere they are needed

[schlusselmensch]

Vertical in, vertical out. No wind. No thanks, I'll watch.

[KieranPvR]

Rotars look like they're going so slow!

[RobertsBlake]

anybody notice the car parked on the sidewalk? wtf

[papavalium]

@RobertsBlake Looks like it had sirens on top...might be a cop.

[syikie]

Respect for the pilot! Awesome video ^_^

[DickHead69able]

...

¦D

[DickHead69able]

Wow. From 0:38 the blades are spinning really slowly.

I thought they would have had to spin a lot faster than that to keep the chopper airborne!

[kalvintaka1]

"Get me some sugar on your way home honey", so he landed in the first place;-)

[DeepThroatYogurt]

Don't see why this is so amazing? Hasn't anyone played GT4? Even a noob can land on the street.

[TinnInches]

@DeepThroatYogurt I have to agree with you. The physics in video games are as real as they come. I can fly like this in BF3 all day long and never crash.

[4funiplaydrums]

@DeepThroatYogurt dumbass haha

[ansesh]

Mr bean was controlling the heli

[richieh1980]

I bet that pilot felt like a dog with 2 dicks in front of all them people

[SuWoopSitdown]

pretty sure on mw3 when they heli comes in to drop my care package he never crashes.

[TinnInches]

I do this shit much faster while playing BF3. Easy part of flying a Helo is taking off vertically. Any gamer knows this!

[69fastbacklover]

@TinnInches and bf3 is a GAME not rl

[supertoaster94]

@TinnInches

My god, you're one of the retarded gamers who thinks they're the boss when it comes to piloting.

[paulbisking]

Those flight for life helicopter pilots really are amazing. real heroes in my opinion.

[Jasonbjamin]

Its not that amazing.. I do this in grand theft auto all the time. :p

[muratore09]

@Jasonbjamin ye and i run the copter 1 mt over the cars,it's just routine

[keff1340]

no substitute for skill !!!

[RooFx]

An inward 2 1/2 dive is difficult until you do it 2300 times.

[RooFx]

Not to mention that they would be hard pressed to find a more stable helicopter to do it in!

[RooFx]

An decent pilot can do it with help from co-pilot or a crewman. 'Confined area landings' are a normal part of helo training.

More people walk away from helo crashes than fixed wing crashes.

Your points about lampposts and buildings are not correct. You WILL get into an incident and you 'may' die (not automagically dead).

Of course, to those like me that did real search and rescue in helos, this is all part of the job.
