Trying to locate an old helicopter flying video
Hello
Been quite a few years since i've been here! I saw a video on here, years and years ago, which involved a pilot flying a helicopter, in the 60s / 70s, in I think Brazil?
It shows him flying the helicopter through a tunnel, really low over the city, then I think it finished with him over the beach? If I'm not mistaken I think it was Rio he was flying over. However can't quite remember.
Does it ring a bell with anyone? The stand out was it had lots of low level flying in it.

The pilot is Antônio Carlos Nascimento, standing in for the singer Roberto Carlos. The flight in Hughes HS-269D PT-HAZ took place on a Sunday morning in 1967.

patowalker,
You’ve found a well known PPRuNe dislike of a certain URL, which is easily circumvented by using a URL shortener: Cultura Aeronáutica: Roberto Carlos em Ritmo de Aventura: o helicóptero que passou dentro de um túnel no Rio de Janeiro

Holidayed in Rio in 2002 and walked through one of the tunnels leading from Copacabana, but not that one. Ours was at the Leme end of the beach and was much bigger; thinking back you could easily have flown a '269 through it.

When I was being trained in the MD500, we were passing over a forested area, with a river under the canopy. My instructor pointed down to the riverbank, visible between the trees, and said: "I want to get out there". The exercise was for me to find a hole in the canopy up the river, and fly under the canopy to the requested exit spot. It is spooky flying under something!
