Scary helicopter takeoff Video

[7249xxl]

BF3 blabla peak?

[WR1ck1e]

@7249xxl Damavand* and nope.

[chiefy51]

There's no doubt I would need to buy new pants...

[MADdrummer971]

I would shit my pants.

[kkrankie]

Barf bag, anyone?

[ponca622622]

must be Stringfellow Hawk!

[ubermarklar]

OMG

[PreciseArrow1]

That was dope

[evilcatpillow]

Evidently, the pilot loves AirWolf too much.

[vxl788]

*yawn* Okay, seriously. Where is the scary part?

[Roland293]

@vxl788 You need to sit inside :)

[crispycritterz]

Just trading altitude for air speed. Nothing special..... moving on....

[PreciseArrow1]

@crispycritterz

lol you act like you've done this before

[crispycritterz]

@PreciseArrow1 Maybe...

[jesudel]

:\\\\\\\\\\\

[XA7XX7AX]

hahaha that was on purpose, he flies that route 10 times a day i bet and knows it very well. just fuckin around with the passengers, or showing off to the crows.

[ncps1234]

the ride of their lives..lol

[SuperNovaCain]

Worked in the oil patch for several years. Bush pilots can do this kind of thing any day. It's the civie pilots, who get twitchy at the sign of a tree or a rock that scare the begeebies out of me.

[CrazyCessnaPilot]

THAT IS SKILL!!

[nigelregan]

@CrazyCessnaPilot Skill? no it's not actually, nothing difficult about it at all if you have relatively basic commercial pilot handling skills, it is however extremely dangerous and totally unnecesssary. An out of ground effect cushion creep to get to translation is more difficult than this but doesn't look as good and doesn't boost the pilots ego as much!

[nowthisis2stupid]

"Two cardiac arrests, one case of instant diarrhea. My work is done here." -Pilot

[5150tt]

@nigelregan Wow what a miserable old fuck you are.

[5150tt]

@nigelregan Yes I am a pilot, I do know better, and I stand behind my comment. Your supposed level of experience should have prevented you from making useless comments on the internet.

[5150tt]

@nigelregan Here's my witty retort. Go fuck yourself. 

[nigelregan]

@5150tt haha, classic, thank you thank you, at least you've got a sense of humour :-) happy flying brother (or sister for that matter) :-)))

[5150tt]

@nigelregan \m/

[nigelregan]

@5150tt haha, you got way too much time on your hands mate, you are fukin funny though :-) 

[nowthisis2stupid]

@5150tt Haha hahahahahaha! Witty retort indeed.

[nigelregan]

@nowthisis2stupid Hey Jonny, for someone as safety conscious as you are with your guns why would you think it is acceptable for a chopper pilot to fly like a mad man? It is absolutely neccessary that pilots apply good judgement in applying their skill to their trade, the same as you do in your firearms handling skills, if they did our industry would be all the better for it, I've been to one too many funerals and the accident statistics speak for themselves brother! You a drummer too? snap!

[nowthisis2stupid]

@nigelregan Correct, I think safety is first but I do think it would be a wild ride. I have also seen a lot of videos showing accidents in helicopters, I see how easy it is to loose control and I completely understand, respect and agree with your point of view.

[nowthisis2stupid]

@nigelregan Yeah I used to be kinda lost touch with it.

[eljefe808]

@nigelregan lmao....how do you know it wasnt necessary. do you know the altitude he was at?

[nigelregan]

@eljefe808 unusual attitude recovery has nothing to do wih altitude (AMSL) it is relative to height AGL, otherwise it wouldn't be a hazard due to nil risk of CFIT and it's very difficult to achieve CFIT above 500AGL.

[eljefe808]

@nigelregan i thought pilots did it because of ETL. but it seems like that drop was overly done

[nigelregan]

@eljefe808 yeah I agree, I think it was overdone, I admit it does look exciting but honestly mate it is extremely dangerous, what that pilot did it isn't particularly difficult to do, smoothly creeping out of ground effect to ETL using only hover power is far more difficult but looks nowhere near as exciting, the excitement soon stops if you have to recover from an unexpected emergency. Not meaning to be a kill joy, just been to one too many funerals that's all!

[eljefe808]

@nigelregan what do you type of helicopter do you fly/maintain?

[nigelregan]

@eljefe808 AS350B, H500E, R44 & R22

[nigelregan]

@5150tt haha thank you thank you, amd I'm still alive and well :-))

[KaHOnas]

Gotta get through ETL somehow, and when you have no power margin at high altitudes that may be the only way you can get moving.

Still, pretty awesome to watch and even awesomer (that's right) to do.

[nigelregan]

@KaHOnas ETL is reached at 11Kts and can easily be achieved by cushion creeping out of ground effect which he clearly had the power to do based on his lift off. Nose diving at 110Kts with high ROD and extreme pitch down attitude gave this pilot absolutely no escape route and assured certain death for all on board and whoever was unfortunate enough to be in the way on the ground in the event of an emergency landing.

[MultiMaxy95]

That's the kind of takeoff the Mi-24 Hind should perform from a cliff.

[dirtyriverwriter]

@MultiMaxy95 mi-24s cant do that hahaha you must be retarded deffs not a mi-24.....im pretty shure thats a eurocopter as 350

[robertnmac]

@dirtyriverwriter an mi-24 could do that. fuck, any helicopter can do that. There's nothing special about that maneuver.

[gsoc256]

@robertnmac bla bla bla...not everyone have the guts and the experience to do it

[gu523]

da hora

[SPIRITAIR1]

Thats the way I fly in Grand Theft Auto 4 thats not scary at all and I mean it. :)

[xbooger1x]

the way i fly in bad company 2 :D

[Anitrex4Anitrex]

Wow!!That Just Looked Plain Horrendous!

[nigelregan]

@Anitrex4Anitrex well said, at last someone here who sees ths for what it is, well said!

[zrbana]

Not scary, just beautiful ...

[boysvandehood]

This looks very cool

[chris4071000]

ide puke thats scaryer than a roller coaster

[tnobe3]

GEE-ZUS!

[wwwtimshelipicsdetl]

Not that special in the mountains... ;-]

[wilobasshunter]

WOOOOOOOOOOWWWW

[ammaifostpeaici]

fake..it actually crashed

[hajenchri]

stop with the chuck norris jokes. They are lame and uncreative. Thank you.

[mbdxhcm2]

@hajenchri chuck norris once ate lame and he shit out something quite uncreative.

[scoobsterinc]

I think chuck norris was flying that helicopter

[PickleMDM]

i thought he would hit the ground lol

[szerszen22]

did the pilot do it on purpose?

[Scylla94941]

@szerszen22 lol of course

[keramzitbetonwebenka]

nice

[thedisman]

Oh, the winds not that bad... OH SHIT.

[cuzzythewolf2]

im late for work!!

[stickmanpwner64]

Now THAT is a ride

[FL4ME5]

cool, bet his done it loads, good skills 

[slump75]

Damn...

[4TaktRollerNeinDanke]

clean pants are under your seat! :D

[kffive]

@4TaktRollerNeinDanke I'm Looking! I'm LOOKING!

[xStevenBradleyx]

I know for sure I would of shit myself if i was on that heli. lmao

[MyMisteryMe]

gosh.

[doctoristina]

amazing...this is one seriously good pilot....

[nigelregan]

@doctoristina wrong!

[doctoristina]

@nigelregan I am a " fixed wing "( airplane ) mechanic and only got a basic, brief 1-hour lecture on " moving wing " aircraft( helicopters ) during my 2-years in aircraft technician school BUT I still think this pilot has alot of flying skill and " balls " to excecute a maneuver like that ! ....LOL !

[ProChoiceJesus]

@doctoristina Wow. I got an entire section of class devoted to helis, much more than a 1 hour lecture. Actually, we touched on helis in 3 different classes, all general stuff, though, like aerodynamics, recip & turbine engine theory, and aircraft nomenclature.

During our labs, we got to practice on a Huey we have in our maintenance hangar at the school I went to (Tx. State Technical College, Waco).

I work at L-3 in Waco, mostly modifying P-3s, structures & sheetmetal stuff, which I love!

[matisstar]

fuel economy. just let it fall

[JasperPalmer]

holy jeez

[decathalon22]

Slightly agressive, but not an uncommon and prefered method for coming off terrain like that. What most see as wreckless, the experienced mountain pilot sees as simply risk management. Move along people, nothing to see here.

[nigelregan]

@decathalon22 oh really! so what risk was he managing? there are many options for getting through to tranlsation from an LZ like that and this is absolutely the last one that should be used and in fact should be avoided at all costs outside of the military.

[gevoman1]

Good way to get speed.

[dafrandle]

i bwt he found sonme briown paint in his undes

[Cdnsgtpepper]

CRAZY! one of the coolest things ive ever seen involving a helicopter and ive seen LL Cool J fly a helicopter

[KraljLazar]

This guy rullzzz... :)

[rezimato]

omfg

[EXT109]

next week after that he blew up along with the helicopter.

[Cdnsgtpepper]

@EXT109 How did they blow up? Do u actually know this guy?

[marintoss]

My Idol :)

[alikill]

Damn cowboys!

[pwnzor3000]

Thats fucking intense!!!

P.S. FIRST XD

[alikill]

Die in a fire

[pwnzor3000]

I was kidding shit!

But seriously it is intense, you gotta admit,
