Dieter Verbarg was a very good friend of mine. I shared so many great moments with him in his helicopter. He passed two years ago. God bless him. Jochen

To all the troops that served the Korean War. Thank you for your service! (salutes). Thanks for the video too.

Damn, the Germans got one of our birds, we gotta get it back.

One used to fly the underground lines in my township in NJ during the 70s. It was flown by an X Vietnam Vet - never got shot down, till some stupid kid hit it with a baseball as he was flying overhead...sigh...but loved waving at him.

Fantástic.

As a little boy I loved the memories of the couple of times that a helicopter instructor took me up in the old Bell Aircraft Model 47 -G2 and one time he did an auto rotation landing 😁👍

Is it me, or why does the clutch, or belts engage way too soon, after the engine starts?! Is this normal for a model of piston powered 🚁 like that one?!

special take off? can some one help explain this?

Just a question. Can you start the engine without the rotor engaged or is either method ok?

wonderful aircraft

Quro um desse como faz gostoso voar assim

Our company has been focusing on developing and selling new products for more than 10 years. I'm a senior researcher at Heimkeeper Co., Ltd.Our company has an idea to reduce propeller noise and vibration of helicopters and drones. We're done with the experiment.We have applied for a utility model and a patent As a result of several experiments with small propellers, the current noise and vibration reduction effect is about 30%.The realization process of this idea is not complicated and simple, but the effect is considered to be a great and innovative invention.Looking forward good news from you soon

Bell 47 my beloved

As a young boy I was given a ride in one in Florida. No door a just a belt to hold me in the seat. I bet if you look at bottom of the seat you still where hung on for dear life. It was like seating on a long pole in a wind. That was a very long time ago but I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Flew the H-13, the military version for several years. Sorry but I just don't see what is so 'special' about that takeoff.

Is this how you show? You should show a little walk around and then show the close up what is happening inside the cockpit.

Does it have a/c, Just wandering

DESCRIBING THE BELL 47: This is the Bell 47. 🧐☝️ It is a helicopter. 🧐☝️ A helicopter that flies. Thank you. END. 🧐

Was the Bell 47 one of the first helicopters created?

Geiler Sound vom Start. Ich vermisse die Bell 47

The Grandfather Bell~47 >>> Brings back many fond memories ... 🌷🌿

The first aircraft that I ever got a ride in was one of these. The pilot did what I can only describe as a full throttle lift off. While my dad held the top half of me out of the door like I was going to fall out 😂😂. It is one of the best memories I have with my father. And I was forever hooked on flying after that.

Our Air Defense Artillery Group in Wilmington, Ohio had two of these birds in the early 70’s. Lots of flying by the seat of our pants with an attitude indicator and a magnetic compass. The rotor blades were wooden and would absorb moisture in winter. Great aircraft for a new pilot to really earn his wings.

Remember Chuck and P.T. moore flying N975 Bravo in the cheap and silly series Whirlybirds? The escaped zoo gorilla on the roof of the barn was wearing Keds! Laughing.. I'm 71 now.

I had a chance to fly a Bell 205 and I have never flown one although I know aviation. I picked it up high enough to get spotted on radar by LAX when we had down time hanging iron due to heavy fog. Guy told me I was a natural. I was floating on air when I stepped out of that machine after my few hundred feet of lift.

They are old but they are still beautiful

Super. 💙 T.E.N.

What is your not going to all those people

During the early 90's I worked on Porsche and about two blocks from the shop there was an aircraft instrument company. One of the people that worked there flew a Bell 47 to work when the weather was nice. I always stopped what I was doing to watch him fly in and land or take off in the evening. At the time I was deep into flying RC helis so it was a big treat to me. I agree with the other poster. One of the coolest helicopters / flying machines ever built.

Hawkeye pierce. Stand up folks the war is back in town

Most iconic scene of this bird is in the episode Life Time where the gang are met with a wounded GI with a lacerated aorta. I know the helicopter was like 20 seconds of scene in it but the sound was so iconic and the episode was epic literally Hawk had to operate this guy within minutes and BJ struggling to get an aortic graft from anybody to save the wounded GI was amazing in itself. This, the Huey and both the Chinook and Sea Knight have the most iconic rotorblade sounds ever.

Молодцы бережно хранящие технику

Had to put my headphones on for this one! I love this little chopper! I was surprised by how much power it has. At start up it reminded me of a souped up racing motor. What engine is in this thing?

Gee that was sooo special.

Almost expected to see Sally Kellerman rushing from a recovery point, running with I.V. as medics evac to a M*A*S*H tent. Excellent vid, thanks for posting.

It looks like the blades rotate as soon as the engine starts. It doesn’t need a clutch?

I'm only 47, but Mash made this the only helicopter I wish I could fly.

Is it turbocharged cause I hear turbine-like whine.

This aircraft is very forgiving, easy to fly and very versatile. enjoyed all 900 hrs. flying her

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! INCOMNG WOUNDED!

Excellent film footage and sound.

Did the same my first 20 hrs in the 47.............

Nothing beats the sound of that startup

vietnam

Not entirely sure about the height avoid curve there. Skilled? Reckless show off..

I love bell 47.

The Bell 47 is so BIG for a "small" helicopter.

Plattling Niederbayern the refueling Action Germany I live here in town ! Bell 47 awesome shopper for ever.

What special take off ? It was a take off followed by a climbing pedal turn. Crop dusters do far more dynamic and much "harder" manuevers every day. Skilled pilot ? Of course he's a "skilled pilot", or he wouldn't have a license. A pilot is considered "skilled" the moment he successfully completes the training and solo flight, and gets his license. And you call it a Bell 47, which is probably technically correct. However, this aircraft is painted to resemble the military version of the Bell 47, the H 13. Wether it actually is the military H -13 version, or the completely civilian Bell 47 version is anyone's guess. Methinks, though it's painted as an H 13, it's probably a Bell 47, so you're probably correct in calling it a Bell 47, even though it's painted as an H 13.
