@jonschell @1588asd @christlubas

Many years ago, Clarkson got a birthday present from the BBC, something he always dreamed of.

They put him in a specially adapted helicopter with a Mini/Gatling gun, chasing a radio controlled Pontiac Firebird in the desert while he shot the shit out of it.

There is a video of it somewhere on youtube.

@Zero7evenX

it was a corvette

[Zero7evenX]

@wisam111 Wow, did you just watch it, or did you know that already?

I'm just surprised someone has replied about it so quickly. lol

[wisam111]

@Zero7evenX i'm a top gear nut and a clarkson fan lol so I did watch that one a long time ago it was fun to watch I remember at the end after he shot the crap outta the vette he was like not so pretty anymore are you corvette and i'm like dude chill out lol

[Antifaith29]

@Zero7evenX lol i actualy have that on an old VHS somewhere. It's great footage. Was a part of one of his older " fast things" videos.

[blaalbblaalb111]

Its like a bicycle if you suddenly think about it you don't have a lot of .. Look at the weather! .. LOLLL!

[kieghacat]

@blaalbblaalb111 I laughed at that too! how side tracked he got lol

[SuperDigitalWarrior]

WHAT.... you're about to see is a Helicopter with the smallest Hamster.... IN THE WWWUUOOLLDD

[christlubas]

Hahaha Jeremy got a damn F15E,Slow got a Harrier,hamster got a small useless copter that can be downed with a .22(okay maybe not that small)

[1588asd]

@christlubas SLOW GOT A U2 SPY PLANE

[dontevenstartme]

@christlubas well i hope when you have an accident and they send you an air ambulance so you can refuse to get in it because its useless

[DyeTyme]

Did Hamster have his teeth whiten before or after this?

[amapolishplummer]

@DyeTyme Never.



[maxwax117]

notar. fav helicopter hands down

[1906199118]

Sorry. Where translation into Russian? Just it's my native language.

[kinsmed]

Wait... this is not TopGear.

(Rubbish.)

[1BustedMyth]

In my oppinion one of the best if not the best Medivac Chopper ever made.

So much imput into its designe came from actual working AirMed crews, that the end result was a fantastically practical aircraft. Even the Pilot, Co Pilot seats are unique and build for maximum back support and low crew fatigue, which anyone who does this job knows is not the case with so many seats.

The NOTAR system just really sets it off as being perfect for opperating low and close to obsticles as we do in SAR Opps

[BRIANROX1]

hahaha while James and Jeremy are flying in fighter jets hammond is flying a helicopter

[IIB20VTEC]

helicopter takes more brain power.

[BRIANROX1]

well fighter pilots arent exactly morons. would you trust an idiot with an F-16. i wouldnt.

[dienkonig33]

No. Helicopters take more skill, but you can focus on flying the thing because you have crew.

Flying a fighter jet is eaiser, but you have to do everything yourself. Flying, navigating, timing yourself, watching your wingman, operating the radar and systems, doing fuel calculations.

you have to be a supreme multitasker.

[pinkuggboots1]

@dienkonig33 I agree with you 100% here.

[linkinpark4eva2k7]

@BRIANROX1

James - Eurofighter, Harrier

Jeremy - F15

:P

[nova2759]

@linkinpark4eva2k7 you forgot James's U2 flight

[linkinpark4eva2k7]

@nova2759 your right and im sure he went in a Spit Fire

[Chuckjagermeister]

It has NOTAR.

[alpha568]

when I saw the name, Hammond, I thought it was General Hammond from Stargate SG-1.

[Petersworld518]

Not gonna lie. Seeing richard hammond on SG-1 would be fantastic!!

[thatman64]

@Petersworld518 come again?

[Petersworld518]

@thatman64 Stargate SG-1 is a show. I can't remember why I made the comment but I stand by it.

[thatman64]

@Petersworld518 Bloody awesome show it was too. Very, very peculiar comment of yours however. lol

[Petersworld518]

@thatman64 Ha ha! Maybe I thought Helicopter -> Aircraft -> Airforce -> SGC. Your guess is as good as mine!

[RockenRollChik]

huhh well dude theres alot of helicopters out there lol soo yah.. but this vid. kinda sux

[iamtheonlyhobo]

there is a bear in the backround

and does anyone know what this helicopter is called, am sure i've seen this one before

[GIJOE1988]

Looks like an MD Explorer

[maxlg08]

its an MD902 explorer

[iamtheonlyhobo]

thank you, that name rings a bell :)

[maxlg08]

no problem mate, and the helicopter?

[RubenCraninx]

@maxlg08 It doesn't have a tailrotor. It uses the engines exhaust to control jaw. It's one of the best helicopters in the world and is used by police, paramedics, etc...

[tomothy32]

its a eurocopter not sure what model though

[shadddey5]

No Eurocopter here, just a McDonnell Douglas MD-902 Explorer with a NOTAR.

[sce2006]
