Real Life Airwolf

[geartool]

Wow. Is that Points North out of Cordova, the Warren Miller staple of late?

[Matt Darby]

@geartool Yes, it's Point's North. They seem to be in Warren Miller every year. The WM crew were due the week after we skiied in 2006.

[dawkaff12ps2]

Też tak chce !

[sootyferrari65]

Not that im ever going to buy one but how much is a bell 222?

[TheAircraftfan]

@sootyferrari65 Bell 222 (any variant) is replaced by stronger type Bell 430, new airwolf is planned to be based on this type. And Bell 222 is also OUT OF PRODUCTION!

[billionthfish]

brilliant thanks

[Snookpro]

Big diference betwen a bell 222 and Eurocopter astar 350 B2 or B3

[johnhi00]

This is not the "Airwolf" helicopter. A modified Bell 222 was the actual aircraft used for the show. Not the helicopter shown in this video.

[MRMOGAVERO]

Did you see BIGFOOT??

[DarthAverage]

Your pilot was having entirely too much fun... :-)

All this needs is the classic Sylvester Levay music and we'd be all set!

[SPIRITAIR1]

airwolf is a 222B made by bell numbnuts

[IdealWildFire]

Nothing special here... That's what the AStars are made to do. That's why the police use them. Now if you double that speed, you'll get close to AirWolf.

[alice1826]

nice flying stringfellow haha

[mdfoster1970]

Hi Speed auto's anyone?

[jgoudeau207]

really nice,,,is that a Bell triple 2?or EStar?Eurocopter?

[mountjoy23]

@shiakue666 someone somewhere will know both the pilot (obvious helmet) and the operator, only a matter of time before he turns up in an NTSB report...

[guilhermemaranhao82]

This is not a Bell 222, it's a AS 350 Astar

[witchblade025]

lol if that's a Bell 222 then I'm able to fly

[basser7472]

awesome

[Nanocrypt]

WANT!

[2349DF]

Lovely Flight helmet.

Must be Ex-Brit forces to have skill like that

[Mantgm240]

the brits are useless

[2349DF]

Yeah, cuz we didnt win the falklands, WW1, WW2 or the gulf war. Hmmm

Incompetant fool

[Mantgm240]

ya, i know ye didnt win them, ye needed the americans, at leat the Irish didnt need help beating ye!!!!, and the Irish also train the royal air force pilots, dont say they dont because i was one of the instructors, and the pilots hadnt a clue of what to do, even the most basic flying skills and they still couldnt grasp it. too much money and no skill in the raf, sas and the navy.

[2349DF]

Would expect one of your kind to be able to conpemplate the sheers stupidity of your answer

[Mantgm240]

There big words for a small man.

not even you understand what you just said!!!!

[2349DF]

I could say the same for you.

You people are Sad.

End of

[Mantgm240]

you are not making any sense!!!!!!!,,,,.

[Rarius]

Your comments prove prove that your grasp of military matters, history and the english language are quite poor.

Several of my familyare/were in the RAF, two of whom are pilots. Neither were never trained by the Irish!

The US refused to help in the Falklands. They were late to both world wars. The British were left to fight Nazi Germany on our own for two years!

As a national of a country that hid behind a flag of neutrality in WW2, you should learn not to comment on military history!

[Starbuckin]

Very Impressive. To the pilot: You got skillz man!

[craigrobinson1234567]

I could do better in my R22 lol!

[raegaldorn]

awesome pilot that looked like fun :)

[Fenncer24]

That was freakin crazy flying tree top and most likey 130+mph nust but cool. If I ever wint the lottery I'am buying an Airwolf style chooper.

[OptimusSledge]

Needs moar firepower. Give me the chainguns and the ADF pod. Offensive weapons panel, right rear.

[stot2614]

If this were a real life Airwolf-like flight, it would have been in a Bell 222, NOT a European Aerospatial/Eurocopter Ecureil or "Astar" as us Americans call it.

[slypsi]

This is how you fly a helicopter!

[Smeddog1]

friggen sweet

[cutter043]

id like to be the pilot of that thing ... anybody you know the shit scared out of em id do it .. lol

[marq74]

Um, I can't tell that helicopter is Airwolf, but it does resemble the Bell 222 from the inside anyway.

[spidey692003]

it's not airwolf, the real airwolf was struck my lighting and crashed after the show when it was sold to a german medi air company.

This is an astar or as350 which ever you prefer, a Eurocopter not a bell 222.

[SebastianEngland]

Lucky motherfuckers. I gotta settle for a Volvo sedan with baby seat to get my kicks. U boys have fun, Im with ya in spirit, E

[crazyryan]

you can always get a grant lol.

[archangel670]

they give grants to buy helos??

[crazyryan]

no grants to get pilots license maybe

[archangel670]

i figured but i was hoping someone knew somthing i didnt

[shrimper76]

lmfaooooooooooooooo....i hear you mate...i still hum the tune to airwolf driving the people carrier wi all the spogs in.....we could have ruled the world......

[RellyOhBoy]

Airwolf or not..looks like an exciting experiance..what kind of machine was it?

[spidey692003]

as350 astar

[conradragzoff]

Actually, Airwolf is based on a Bell 222B helicopter... sorry.

[Matt Darby]

Don't be sorry. And don't take things so literally either.

[c00nhunterjoe]

actually airwolf is based on a 222a

[conradragzoff]

That's odd, all the Airwolf websites have stated that it was based on a Bell 222B... maybe you can fill me in on the difference?

[c00nhunterjoe]

i would be interested in seeing these sites. airwolf was the 3rd to last bell 222a built. serial number N3176S. the 222b has a taller main rotor mast, winglet sponson supports, and different tail boom extension to name a few differences. i can give you detailed info and pictures if you like. shoot a me a message with email addresses

[Matt Darby]

No, we were flying along a river the flows into Nelson Bay near Cordova in Alaska after helisking in the Chugatch Mountains.

[theannoyingdogpoo]

If you crashed and survived, you would be eaten by Alaska bears.

[Matt Darby]

Indeed so. After one day's skiing we landed by the river to check out some bear tracks that were only a few hours old.

[theannoyingdogpoo]

Man, this is completely scary.

I don't get it how citizens of Canada, USA, Alaska, nothern parts of Scandinavian countries or Russia or Romania can just spend so much time in the woods.

I don't care how much it is said about bears avoiding contact with humans. I saw on YouTube how fast a bear can ran, how well it climbs trees and swims. Then I read about deadly bear attacks (including consumption of the victim) and that's enough for me to keep out of the woods. Don't fuck with wildlife.

[wwwabc123456de]

is it "speeded "" up", or is he really so fast?

[Matt Darby]

It's not speeded up, the ground was just really close. I asked the pilot afterward and he said "oh, we were never closer than 5 feet"!

[punder]

thats cool as hell.

[NCHAPEAU]

AS 355 ECUREUIL (or A-STAR). Nice light helicopter.

[sebastas2]

YEAH!!

[019012356]

WOW Hammer Flug
