Called Dolphin.

[Forgechannel1]

@Draklor it's Dauphin

[Draklor]

@Forgechannel1 As i already said the USCG website calls it "Dolphin" and not Dauphin.

Dauphin is the original french name but in USCG service is called Dolphin(as confirmed by many USCG pilots that i know,my own on-wing at HT-8 at NAS Whiting Field was a former HH-65 pilot).

[Draklor]

Just check the US Coast Guard official website and you'll see that it's officially calle

[Draklor]

No you're wrong. That's the Coast Guard version of the Dauphin(as you said) but the USCG call it Dolphin. Beside the fact that i flew on that helicopter and that i had tons of instructors that were former Dolphin pilots,just check the Coas

Weird that the Landing gear appears "magically" for the Dolpin... was wondering why is was so stable ...fake!

[Draklor]

@clearchrome1 That's no fake at all.

The landing gear appears "magically" just because is hidden in high grass...

So many fights about a helicopter and what it is called? I think we should all come together and just call it the Pretty Glittery Pink Horsey Queen of the Sea Horses!

[Apache1334]

Will you tards stop arguing over Dauphin and Dolphin!?!? in French Dauphin == Dolphin! And Yes the Coast Guard calls it Dolphin and yes it's original name is Dauphin! That's like you guys arguing over Blackhawk vs. Seahawk vs. Jayhawk. Jesus Christ!

[Popeye23102011]

Jesus Christ.. It's ridiculous you guys are whining why the OP was calling it a "Dolphin" and not "Dauphin", Grow a pair and just enjoy the clip like I did!

As usual, Nice video, Drak!

LOL 1:09 i thought he was hovering with the gear up with amazing precision as to not move at all...then i realized...long grass :P

PS TO ALL YOU IDIOTS, ITS DAUPHIN, NOT DOLPHIN. its a french Heli, and eurocopter calls it the dauphin. they made it, they name it, not the USCG.

[wbolton]

"Dolphin" and "Dauphin" are very nearly the same thing; they are different variants of the same craft. technically, the platform that the Coast Guard uses is called the Dolphin, after they adopted it into service from Aerospatiale/Eurocopter. before the Coast Guard got ahold of it, it was originally named the Dauphin.

@oiseautempete So when did the upgrade to the Turbomeca Ariel2C2-CG take place? I was in the CG when the Dolphin's were first used.

[Dauphinpilot]

@Draklor  no, I spoke with several USCG pilots and they ALL told me the name "Dolphin" is incorrect, the helicopter manufacturer, Aerospatiale, merged with some others to form Eurocopter, which now markets this aircraft, and it is called the Dauphin, nothing else

[Kopihucky]

@Draklor who cares what americans call it... dauphin is the name the designer designated and is the name in the flight manual... it may be french for dolphin but no reason to bring in specifics is there?

[Forgechannel1]

@Draklor oh sorry didnt see that
