JCM5 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Your thoughts? The whole video is cool, but it gets relevant, and interesting, around the 6:30 mark. I wonder why they covered the tail number..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSnfO15cAHE&feature=youtu.be&t=6m22s 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Pig Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Funny.... the scenes that show the 500 have the R22 engine noise. Oooops.D+ for editing Edited August 1, 2013 by Flying Pig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS350 pilot Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's funny; I've never seen a really experienced talented pilot do something so foolish.... Enough said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_P148 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Was waiting for him to overshoot the ramp and fly into the rotor system. Very cool video all the same. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Good stuff with the 500, poor judgement shown with the R22 pilot....I know a few of those "types".. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Pro skateboarder, Bob Burnquist, teaches us, when you fall down, you should get back up and try again. Even when you fall and think your hurt, or finished, you get back up, brush yourself off and try again. In the end, success will win over failure and for some, it happens BIG……. Like Bob…… “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”–Theodore Roosevelt Oh, and the helicopter stuff, I’m not a critic…………… Edited August 2, 2013 by Spike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollthbns Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 The 500 is very familiar. I wonder why they blacked out the tail number, or tried to. Might be able to identify the 22 for you shortly............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolftalonID Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Lol I know that R22 pilot. He has thousands and thousands of hours in those things. His abilities far exceed the difficulty of what he did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotormandan Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Even if he has the experience, skill, and went slower then the video showed, the problem for me is doing stuff like that with video cameras around. You never know when you'll end up on you tube and who'll happwn to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolftalonID Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 We just throwing out N numbers now? Hope not. To be more specific, check out next level air. Www.flynextlevel.com. Might give you a clue to the birds in the film, as well as the background of the pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollthbns Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Here is a slight variation on the theme in the form of a question; Why would anyone care if the tail numbers are visible? "Ending up on youtube" or some other medium is exactly what was planned. People usually don't go to the trouble of editing video so they can watch it themselves. If what you are doing is legal and ethical, then who cares who knows its you? People with integrity will be the same with or without cameras. Not a judgement, just an observation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
