Impressive
 

Some of the moves in the OTTO video reminds me of another 300, that put on a real display for about 25 seconds before "HOG" (not sure how the gentleman spell his name) climbed out of the remains.....

"pilot has 17000hr in helicopter and 6000 in airplanes..........."

Is this what happens to you if you do drugs???:E

Clive Hogg...
 

...would be the gentleman in question...

Here's the video again:

"...Hogg get away from that thing!...:hmm::hmm:

Yup, that would be the one!!

What a priceless clip..

Does that guy get killed?
 

What is the real story behind that clip of the guy crashing the H300? Was he a fixed wing guy trying his hand at helicopters? If so, who let him loose on a helicopter with no training? Did he live? It might be a little unkind to say, but looks like a case of 'natural selection' to me. :ugh:

I heard he was a high time airplane pilot who bought the helicopter, had an instructor go with him to pick it up. After the instructor left, he decided to fly it himself...Yes he lived--that is him at the end of the video walking around the wreck.

Silly pilot
 

I think he over-cooked that a bit.

Thanks photex.

There was a thread about that one on here a short while back it even showed on Sky news. People were of the same opinion as you.

How to fix a faulty damper: 2 paper clips, a pocket knife, bubble gum, an ash tray, duct tape, and a mullet.

Fly it like you stole it!!

:}

Another happy landing???



MADY

Training with the Midewin Hotshots--some of whom had never directed buckets before, this gets them used to directing a pilot from the ground.

One More

That's a heavily modded long ranger. They've reversed the main rotor and set it up to fly at 70 rrpm :eek: :eek:

Engine Failure

S-61N SAR vid.
 

A couple of questions in relation to that video.

Was that an Irish or British S-61N carrying out that rescue?

What are the chances of a flame-out when encountering that much water in the hover (or forward flight, for that matter)?

Could the pilot not have hovered out of the "splash-zone" while reeling in each rescuee before moving back in for the next pick-up, either by climbing vertically or moving forward or to his left more quickly?

What are the maintenance issues for that helicopter when it gets back to base?

Certainly some brave and skillful flying.
