[@jamesdeclan7538]

What job do you have? where?

[@trackthismotherfuckers9805]

I just turned 40 and think the H160 has replaced my favourite helicopter! Love from Merimbula, Australia 👍

[@Defender78]

What was your previous favorite copter? I believe the H160 is a great machine, but it looks weird from the side... Like a big triangle

If the narrator is a computer generated voice, then it is THE best computer voice I have ever heard. And if it's a human narrating, then this is the most computer sounding human I have ever heard. Either way, well done AIN.

Wow, I'm not quite sure how to take that one! :) Thanks for watching! -Ian Whelan, Video Producer and Narrator

[@chillout1109]

Aviation International News I meant to say your voice is so smooth and your narration so clear that it's actually very difficult to tell whether it's an electronic voice or human. Add that to the fact that in your videos you also never laugh, cough, clear your throat, crack jokes, exclaim, or even stammer or stumble. Everything is narrated so eloquently that it's so unbelievably smooth and relaxing. If my voice mattered on KZbin, I would vote yours as the best aviation informational channel on KZbin. Very well done.

[@AINvideo]

Thanks! I wasn't offended with your original comment, so no worries. If only you could hear all the takes I do to edit these voice overs together, you'd laugh. I take the best parts and stitch them together. Thanks for your support. -Ian

Great effort ! Lots of love. INDIA 🇮🇳

[@seoceancrosser]

This thing looks almost as cool as Airwolf!

[@shannonholland9383]

seoceancrosser .. AIRWOLF IS PROBABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HELICOPTER EVER BUILT AND ITS REALLY TO BAD BELL DIDN'T BUILD ON A CONSUMER LEVEL... WITHOUT GUNS AND SHIT LIKE THAT ... BUT THE CREATOR OF AIRWOLF WAS IN MY OPINION A ...GENIUS! JUST THE LOOK MAKES IT BEAUTIFUL THE PAINT SCEME MAKES A JEWEL! TO THIS DAY ITS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MACHINES EVER BUILT... EVEN IF ITS A FRICTIONAL PROP FOR A POPULAR TV SHOW!

This should be the new Airwolf!

Amazing h160 the king of sky

[@wcresponder]

Smart looking craft.

[@overbank56]

Impressive! In other words, it can pretty much fly itself

[@moronibreitbart6055]

Perhaps...someday, it'll come to America where it's been 'announced' and showcased as new for many years now.

[@helicopterovirtual-msfs6254]

Gostaria de saber se existe manual do H160 com limitações de máquina. *Velocidade para autorrotação e velocidade de operação com trem de pouso abaixado?

[@rosstuck3927]

This is the ultimate, but we have to wait too long to buy the 160. I will be too old by the time we can get one into NZ!

[@granvilleheights3411]

Ross Tuck Richie McCaw will enjoy flying this beauty.

[@rosstuck3927]

Even God has to wait Sir

Ross Tuck Kiwis would just ball it up and force a worldwide recall anyways

Good day, I want to do my helicopter training at Airbus company in Germany, what should I do

[@johnsonakon]

@Gage thank you sir, what's the process, or how can I process it

[@OpticalFetish]

If you can't figure it out, you're probably not smart enough to be a pilot ;)

[@simranjeetsandhu5691]

And most importantly it has to be sexy good looking.

[@yourestilladingdong]

And like the other models of airbus helicopters, for one hour of flight, 30 hours of maintenance.... Compared to other manufacturers, airbus is on the very expensive side when looking at the overall cost of owning... It is a little like printers manufacturers , they sell you the equipment at a low price, but you pay 100 times the price in maintenance and parts

[@xirux01]

the classic Airbus statements. sadly for Airbus automatic or computer system doesn´t make vehicle more safe, it just causes different problem. Airbus should know this there have been so many accidents because of automatic system especially on airbus/Boeing planes and not to forget MD90 in the eighties.

Too late to market. The AW139 has now a good customer database and is proving to be a very good aircraft. Also the S76D is showing reasonable sales to existing S76 customers (older models).

C'est quoi ton problème avec l'accent français ?🤔

[@Sergecalifornia]

It's not an English accent? It is a French accent spoken by a Frenchman speaking in English.

[@hansmeyer7225]

What’s the problem with that?
