First Solo (2nd Circuit Return) Bell 47G-5

This video is just for the sound (part of Solo vid)...after all, it is the Bell 47 that coined the phrase "chopper".
The main rotor downwash hitting the tail boom and mixing with the tail rotor wash makes the 'beating (chopper) sound we all know from movies etc...the Bell 47 has very large rotors too, lots of mass spinning up there, great for autorotations :)

Thanks for the supportive words "E Type Jaguar"

You got it, there is nothing more fulfilling in my opinion than flying Helicopters, although I enjoy the fixed wing Aerobatics, I would trade 10 free HRS in a F/W for 1 hour in Rotary wing :) Glad I began my Heli in the Bell, made the SC300 and the Robbie seem like wind up toys...can't wait for turbine :)

Nice, smooth approach! Congratulations on your

first solo! I have been flying helicopters for

more than 30 years and I still remember my first solo very clearly. Many more smooth takeoffs and landings my friend! Enjoy yourself, because flying a helicopter is more addicting than any drug known to mankind!
