A Bell Helicopter Landing Offshore on an Oil Platform U.S. Gulf of Mexico

I thought it might be a 407 until I heard the video..Definitely a 206.

Strange how there's a bookcase on the panel, right where a little visibility would be more preferable.

Used to do this on a daily basis, often multiple times per day for over 20 years. Good video, very authentic & realistic.

Yes, I did it (as passenger) for years. It looks like those days are over. I was just in a terrible wreck. The noise and motion doesn't work for me any more. I have several of these. We were doing inspections following a hurricane season offshore Gulf of Mexico. It is hard to do this without an equilibrium.

@SolomonSeries

You were in a helicopter accident?

[scrapperCCrunner7]

what type of helicopter is this?

[SolomonSeries]

A Bell helicopter?? As I recall.

@scrapperCCrunner7

More than likely a LongRanger.

[SolomonSeries]

So you look at helicopter landings while you're off? HA! HA! Must be time to go to work!! I hope all is well. I leave for Africa next week.

Is this PHI? My dad worked offshore for years before he got an office job. My friend's dad works for PHI as a CFI and II

[SolomonSeries]

I fly out with several different groups. PHI is one of them, but can't say regarding the video (especially since the word "crash" is in the description. Subscribe to the videos. More to come!
