french can not even make helicopters i heard that the REACH air ambulance just got a brand new Eurocopter ec 135 and it already has mager problems but the reach pilot said the bell 407 needs no maintenance

@chris4071000 I'm no French lover but what type of helicopter landed on Mt. Everest?

[chris4071000]

@aligerous mi8

[aligerous]

@chris4071000 No mi8 landed on the TOPof Everest though. On May 14th, 2005 a AStar AS 350 B3 (French made helicopter) piloted by the EUROCOPTER X-test pilot Didier Delsalle, landed at 29,035ft on the top of the Mount Everest. I don't relish the fact it was a French helicopter but facts are facts. The Eurocopter is taking over the US law enforcement market as well. So what point is it you were trying to make?

[scottwa2468]

these helicopters have helped in Australia with some many fires,they are lifesavers!

[notar1]

Where is the Swordfish Movie footage? I want to see the making of that

[HPAVELOW53]

If it had a cabbin instead of a water tank it would look like a ch-53!

[HPAVELOW53]

If it didnt have that water tank and it had a cabbin instead it would look like a CH-53 oh and an added fueling probe!

Um dos mais feios Helicopteros q Já vi

[atodogas2]

This helis are awesome

[Aerobatique]

When I did work experience with the Police Air Wing here in Australia I watched one of these start up from 25 metres away...that was something.

[L33tP1ckL]

Informative and entertaining video.

A somber note: Notice the black tape (of mourning) over the L.A. Fire Dept. personnel's badge?

[Neppybutt]

That is one of the flat ugliest helicopters out there. However, other than fixed wing, it is the most useful for putting out the fires.

[horizonflyer9]

actually its not. the c130 firefighter is so much more effective. it carries so much more water, and spreads it across a very wide area of land. as they said in the video, the airplanes do the heavy work and the helicopter cleans up the small stuff

[Neppybutt]

That is why I mentioned other than fixed wing (which I assume includes the C-130) does in fact cover a lot wider area, much quicker. No?

[horizonflyer9]

oh im really sorry. i only read through your comment quickly and i didnt notice the "other than fixed wing"

[Neppybutt]

Not a problem.

[N137LA]

Yeah, its effective, until the wings fall off...

[sdrfgvrfgvsfravgdsvS]

awesome helis
