slick1537 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Pretty sure this has been posted before but I saw a video I had not seen before. These guys do some pretty amazing flying, only thing that looks really unsafe is the 0 airspeed auto with the smoke bellowing into the cockpit. Enjoy!

Tim99 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) That was Jim Cheathan and the Showcopters. They were the main act at the first 9 Vertical Challenge shows. They later used 2 R-22s and a R-44. The R-44 was a camera ship and filmed the tandem rotor tribute at Vertical Challenge 2002.http://www.youtube.com/hilleraviation#p/a/u/0/0E7h6Qs1FUk Jim passed away in 2009 from a heart condition.
