USFS Emergency lift off

[LanguageOfTheMad]

BELL 214 B1 out of Big Hill Helitack.

Set up for R.A.D.S (Rope Assisted Deployment System).

I've jumped out of the ship in that video a few times... (sigh) : )

214 with big blade grips and big single turbine. listen to the blades

the 412 has 4 blades.

the 212 has twin pt6 engines.

...helicopter tech since 1981.

Definately 214. Different rotor system (no stabilizer bars on the head), much bigger engine (compare the exhaust to a 205, you can crawl in there :-)) more payload, MR-blades have much bigger chord than a 205 or a 212. It's a Huey on a lot of steroids :-) or the "King Huey"

[motokid032]

214B for sure.

[totlich]

i'm sure thats a 212. The 412 has a cowl over the swash plate.

[firefighterLTP]

This is is a Bell 214. Its much more capable than a 212. It has a higher payload.

At the time this was filmed this was Helicopter-516(H-516) out of the Eldorado National Forest. It is based at Big Hill helibase.

[MrSAILINGROCKS]

i believe its a bell 214 almost like a 212 but singe engine

[MrSAILINGROCKS]

\HueyUH1DFAN1 how can it be a 412 with only 2 blades

[MrSAILINGROCKS]

its a bell 212 2 less blades the a 412 but still frigin awsome

[Kronik2g2]

@MrSAILINGROCKS Naw, bell 212 has two engines..either it's a 210 or 214.

[lawdog490]

WITH A SCREEN NAME LIKE HUEYUHD1FAN1, I'LL GO WITH WHICH HELICOPTER HE THINKS IT IS.....

[HueyUH1DFAN1]

@reptile411 I love and film helicopters too, but I know much about helicopters

[HueyUH1DFAN1]

I am sure that it is a bell 214

[reptile411]

@HueyUH1DFAN1 You are more than likely correct. I love Helicopters, mainly filming them but dont know much about them.

[atvman101]

@HueyUH1DFAN1 Bell 214 b1

[HueyUH1DFAN1]

this is a bell 214

[jaybirddotus]

@HueyUH1DFAN1 Actually I thought it was a Huey UH 1 But could be wrong.

[jaybirddotus]

@HueyUH1DFAN1 After just watching the video again I think you are right.
