Trip over the Smoky Mountains to Greenville in the R22

Jimmy and I flying the Robinson R22 helicopter over the Great Smoky National Park, which was covered in a blanket of snow. We climbed up to Approx. 7,000ft at our highest point. Great flight!

Another great Vid...what route did you take? Do you go South of Pisgah or stay North around the AVL area? (I was think Greenville SC...or was it Greenville TN?)

We when essentially direct up and over the smoky moutains.  We when to Greeneville, NC.

No, not really, it was actually a super smooth ride. maybe a little turbulence on the leeward side of the mountains.

great video,,tks much for posting, I noticed the carbon monoxide light came on, it that related to the altitude you were at?

[michaelmiller85]

i don't know. I have been up that high before and haven't had any problem. This was the first trip in this aircraft at that high of altitude so we just opened the fresh air vents and turned the heat off, and within 5 minutes it reset.
