I've got a question but I think I know the answer already, y didn't the top rotor blades, spin fast like they usually do?, was it cause of the age of the camera u used?, or was it the speed of the blades were so fast that it was made to look slow the untrained eye?

The camera was an old. I believe the 214 main rotor turns at a little over 300 rpm.

[eligs340]

that's real right?

[kangaroojack1]

it's real, registration C-FXNI

The growl of the turbines and the whoop of the blades, I could listen to all day...sweeet

Just to be exact, the 214ST has the elongated passenger compartment, this is a 214B which is has single-engine T-55 engine and the meter chord blades. The blades are far too wide to be anything other than a 214.

@RedDevilPilot wrong. i fought fire with the machine as bucket support in 2008 in BC. Its a Bell 214. No 212 would lift what i saw this machine lift at altitude.

@RedDevilPilot Once and for all, this is a 214. look close at the MR no stabilizer bar 2 blade wide chord 50' dia rotor shared with the cobra AH-1T+ variant. Jumbo exhaust can from a SINGLE Honeywell T-55 engine top rated 2930shp derated to 2050shp. (B)variant was the commercial model,(A/C)variants sold to Iran in the mid 1970's. Now I can go to sleep!

EXACTLY!! Its a Bell 212. If it were a 214 the passenger compartment would be elongated down the tail boom. If it was a 412 it would have four blades. This aircraft appears to be a Bell 212 @jmartin1087

Now I've seen it all, a flying helicopter with it's main rotor...well not rotoring...lol...Gotta love those old cameras...kool trick.

@jmartin1087

Yeahh, with de 2 blades of the tailrotor he has 4.....

[FJones9508]

@jmartin1087 The 412 has 4 blades. The 214 is a variant designed off of the 212 platform for long line vertical reference use. That is in fact a 214.

[jmartin1087]

This is a 212!!!!

The 214 has 4 BLADES, the 212 has 2 BLADES. So you know. :3

[shfullclip9mm]

that a 214 or a 212 it looks more like a 212 to me

We had this very machine longlining for us in BC in 2009 on the "Kelly Lake Fire" near Clinton, BC. Beautiful machine and awesome pilots.. some of the best bucket work i've seen done.
