Former Chinook pilot here. I miss it. 😊

Whats your max descent rate in HOGE to prevent VRS?

Smoke on the water, Sounds like a hit to me. 😆😆

Thank you

Godspeed

Your intro is NOT going to get any more subscribers or “likes”. Dump the stupid intro, just get on with it!

I grew up during the Vietnam War and read a lot about the Skycranes in use by the Army. It's great to see some are still flying, providing firefighting services and lifting heavy loads. This is a super, super video and I really appreciate you taking the time to make it!!!! Be safe, guys!!!

Now that's just cool! Cool FlyingDudes.

-Got to Love a LOT of rotor energy..... R22 is like a hope and a prayer....

congratulations !!!

That was not autorotation. He didn’t flair he climbed approximately 4’ and then flaired. I’m not sure why but this is phony.

Can i ask , does the heat rising from the fires effect your flying or do you keep higher then the heat to stop this from effecting you ? Not a pilot just think you guys are brave and and i appreciate what you do....

Now that's smooth.

It was a big mistake getting rid of these awesome Skycranes

not a good one i mean you need to pull a bit later

I want to do that one day.

Oh. My. Goodness. THAT’s hilarious.

Excellent flying and teamwork 🤘

That was not a full power off autorotation landing.

anyone know where this is

LOL. Someone should write a song.

I wonder how many Vietnam veterans have this typical Huey sound on their heads up until today so many decades later.

One of the nicest autorotations I’ve ever seen. Very little runout.

For anyone who enjoys firefighting air attacks, you might enjoy M. L. Buchman's "WIld Fire" fiction starring a Skycrane Helitanker, several "Firehawks" a 212 or two and a couple MN 500s!

I'm a low time helicopter pilot. I'm a full-time single dad and my sons are almost grown and I can't wait to get back to flying. I've been interested in firefighting with helicopters. But watching videos like this makes it pretty much a guarantee I'm going to shoot to try and do firefighting at some point. Thanks for posting! I personally would appreciate it if you would post a shitload more!! I also appreciate that you dont have music. Just comms and subtitles for pertinent. Ill def watch every video like this that y'all post

Those big rotors grab a lot of air !!

As a previous heliattack firefighter, (who tried to move up the ladder into AirAttack as an officer to fly in the birddog but had to part ways with the field), now pursuing my fixed wing (to potentially move into heli, my true love)..I LOVED THIS!! Definitely keeping my fire stoked for flying!! Thank you 🤟😎

Touched down like a legend

In case I see a spider during my next flying lesson, I’ll bring my rock-hard swat with me.

Man, I want my pilot to autorotate landings from now on.

This is one fine firefighting "engine"... ;). Even finish the song??

Great video, thanks for posting! These Skycranes are beasts - hugely powerful - they dwarf the helicopters we see regularly (A-Stars and Bell 407’s) but are tremendously expensive to maintain. They are 1960’s technology (cockpits have been upgraded) - it would be great if a new, modern version was introduced.

I flew both fixed wing and helicopter airtankers. C130, P2, CH-54

Landing on a chicken wing and a prayer. The man at the helm is a master of his trade.

wow. so cool

Sorry, that was absolutely NOT an auto-rotate landing.

Great landing.

If someone took their shoes off while flying you may need a hazmat team to decontaminate the plane, ugh it wreaks in here! LMAO!

Stunning capture! May I feature this autorotation landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!

The hero of this video is .……….. Hunter Biden and Justin Trudeau. One a prolific artist and business tycoon and the other the alpha male natural leader of men (and Liberal males) and Prime Minister of Canada. We are all so lucky to be allowed to share their aura.

There aren’t many things in life more fun than a 360 auto to the Right Grass at Camp Pen in a UH-1n.

Sir would you like a spot of tea

must be such a bad ass feeling to be a firefighter pilot. when i have a fire near me and i see a heli go over i get so darn excited... ive been through several fires here in Cali...

Like a boss! 👍🚁

Looks similar to landing lunar module on moon. 4 forward, a little to yhe left. . Kicking up some dust. 😊

Outstanding video guys……Thanks!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome video gentleman
