Huey auto goes wrong video
 

Looking for a clip of a huey auto-ing to the ground and wanging the tail in (circa late 60's/early 70's in colour). The subsequent prang makes for a good clip for a presentation I'm doing. Thanx

HM,

The file I think you are after is 'vertic.mov'.
Unfortunately as a mov file it's pretty poor quality, but one link to it is;

"The pilot misjudges the landing and runs out of lift!"

Better at that height than higher (but preferably slightly lower).

From the sounds of the audio it was a spot landing excercise and he dragged every last bit out, then more, trying to get to it.

The cameraman sounds bitterly disappointed that he captured it on camera.
