[HueyUH1DFAN1]

I am sure that it is a bell 214

@HueyUH1DFAN1 You are more than likely correct. I love Helicopters, mainly filming them but dont know much about them.

@HueyUH1DFAN1 Bell 214 b1

[LanguageOfTheMad]

BELL 214 B1 out of Big Hill Helitack.

Set up for R.A.D.S (Rope Assisted Deployment System).

I've jumped out of the ship in that video a few times... (sigh) : )

214 with big blade grips and big single turbine. listen to the blades

the 412 has 4 blades.

the 212 has twin pt6 engines.

...helicopter tech since 1981.

Definately 214. Different rotor system (no stabilizer bars on the head), much bigger engine (compare the exhaust to a 205, you can crawl in there :-)) more payload, MR-blades have much bigger chord than a 205 or a 212. It's a Huey on a lot of steroids :-) or the "King Huey"

[motokid032]

214B for sure.

[totlich]

i'm sure thats a 212.  The 412 has a cowl over the swash plate.

@MrSAILINGROCKS Naw, bell 212 has two engines..either it's a 210 or 214.

[firefighterLTP]

This is is a Bell 214. Its much more capable than a 212. It has a higher payload.

At the time this was filmed this was Helicopter-516(H-516) out of the Eldorado National Forest. It is based at Big Hill helibase.
