So You Wanna Fly Helicopters...

[@TrentonPalmer]

Haha, my wife is the same way, thinks she will probably die every time she gets in my plane. Had to show her that part of you asking Becki that

[@BeckiandChris]

Trent Palmer hahaha they should start a support group 😂😂😂

[@bcengelhardt]

I fly a 1950 V tail Bonanza and my wife thinks she is just going to fall out the bottom. "It's so old, its just going to fall apart!"

[@Area13ebikes]

Same here - but as with the rest of you, she still flies along! :)

[@NicHolmes]

Ok so how did you get Haley to go flying with you? My wife still wont get in the kitfox... she is like promise me you will take me flying then we get to the field and she is like no not today, ill sit here and watch you!

[@NicHolmes]

@@BeckiandChris I think it should be called "wives of youtube pilots support group"

[@ScottJWaldron]

Really interesting video. I know nothing about flying a helicopter, but I could see how much respect, caution, and care Chris puts into it.

[@LEZOMY]

I like how your videos are high quality. Keep up the good work guys!

[@andrew-in-sf]

LezOmY I aspire to bump my videography to this level

[@Pilotluana]

You guys rock!! Love this video so much. So nice to see Chris flying with Lyle. And Becki saying ‘physics’ at the end is the best part! 😅😅

[@BeckiandChris]

Pilot Luana such a great guy!

[@OffKadenceOfficial]

Oh my god you guys are seriously like my favorite vloggers now, no offense pete and Matt but you guys got me cracking up at the end haha!! I’m premiering a video at 6 pacific time I know you guys will probably never have the time but even if one of you just stopped in and gave the video a chance it would mean the world love you guys!

[@cirrus100]

You guys consistently put out in my opinion the purest form of content of KZbin. Thank you.

[@JustinKonikow]

By far one of my favourite of vlogs yet. Love how you played with the transitions at the beginning I watch that video too. Keep hammering you guys love everything you do

[@gabekamel6191]

I love how you guys are doing this straight from the heart and not getting paid to do this. Y’all are my favorite. Keep it up Update: I got a heart from Becki and Chris!! Life’s complete 😁

[@FreezeFrame1951]

Just found your channel a few vids ago and you guys are cool af. Becki cusses like a Pirate telling it like it is and she's a total camera nerd, two good qualities and you Chris...you fly a freakin' Helicopter what more can be said..dude rocks. Looking forward to following your adventures. Cheers

[@mixedtee]

I’m so glad I found this channel! I’ve literally been binge watching every video for the past two days!

[@edwardtse8631]

I can't believe youtube finally recommended your channel to me in 2022, immediately fell in love and binged 100+ videos of yours. I don't get it, I watch Peter McKinnon's and Matti's channels when they start and you are literally in that office but youtube never bother to recommend you guys to me until now. Anyway, love everything you did, love black toned videos, I have constant fight with my wife to put more blacks and grey to walls, yet you two are all on board with lots of black and gray. Love it.

[@shaneharvey1026]

These videos on the helicopter piloting journey are great. Keep them coming.

[@shkspear52]

SO EXCITED to hear more about your color grading work-flow...especially at what point, and where in the process you "bed" a REC 709!!!

[@vuhlandes]

Could watch these videos all day...

[@TDRKB]

You pack so much info into 12 minutes! I love seeing the sights around your home. Great vid. You should come to Sydney (OZ) and fly around the country. A video around the 12 Apostles would be a sight to behold. Awesome.

[@BeckiandChris]

Kevin Brotherton yesss 12 apostles is on my list.

[@nathantung6760]

I don't know why but that intro got me so excited! Awesome video as usual guys!

[@RickRose]

I've had a little bit of fixed wing stick time but never rotary--Looks like a lot of fun. Rock on.

[@NadeemSyed62]

The best part of your videos is the Tuxedo time in the end.. haha.. super fun..

[@alexsandrd]

I have no idea how I got you, guys, in my recommended videos, but I checked a few videos and I really like it. Massive shout out from Moscow \o/

[@neilt]

Thank you for sending me to look at Destin's past videos on his Smarter Every Day channel, the series on helicopter physics is simple to follow and fascinating.

[@fjgfjghjhnghuj4]

You two are by far my new favorite people on this platform, love the videos and can’t get enough!

[@johnnyharris]

Loved this!

[@Jalepanjo]

You are both so talented, and I really respect all the effort you both have put in to be able to do what you both love. I just had to write this comment, i'm sorry. ilu

[@calebpilot]

I’m actually an aviation student right now!! I just wanna say great video and can’t wait for the next in the series!

[@garyhanson4133]

Hello guys. I've discovered your youtube channel just a little while ago, and have been enjoying them. I too am a helicopter private pilot. Most of my flight time is in an enstrom f28f, which I really love. Your right it really gets in your blood. I also watched where you are an intervention radiologist, which is an exciting field. My ex use to sell radiographic supplies and rooms. Me I'm own a hardware store and am learning Adobe so that hopefully can look into creating a youtube channel. Anyway it's been fun following you with so much in common. Keep up the flying and great video. Thanks for the tips as well.

[@dukaka9654]

I liked the radio talk.......Helicopter Three-Zero-Zero-Whiskey-Zulu........

[@NickIby]

So dope to just take a helicopter flight to go on a date and catch a beautiful sunset... thanks for taking us along on the adventure even though Becki still doesn’t feel 100% comfortable on every flight haha

[@BeckiandChris]

😂 she deals!

[@KcRace]

I'm SUUUUUUPER excited for this mini-series. The series I've always wanted but never asked. Ever since I've flown in a Cessna 206 and 185 four years ago, I've always wanted to learn how to pilot fixed-wings. Then I started watching you guys and saw Chris slowly becoming a helicopter pilot. I became conflicted if I wanted to become a fixed-wing pilot or a helicopter pilot. Maybe this mini-series can ease my conflict. Looking for to more videos in general!!!!

[@BeckiandChris]

Helicopter obviously!! Going to do a video with our buddy Matt Guthmiller on fixed wing vs rotary wing

[@realnickcarson]

Thanks for making this! Always wanted to fly in one and maybe get license. Just found your channel from Pete, so I’m excited to see your perspective!

[@LindseyMurphy]

When my hubby and I were first dating, he told me that he wanted to be a helo pilot. We're both fixed wing pilots (he actually gets paid for it...not so much for me, HA!) and FINALLY in '17 he got the company he works for to pay for him to get his rotor license. So awesome! He flies the R44, R66, and HC135. It's been an awesome experience and he's living his life long dream without having to pay for the flight time himself!

[@ryanhooper5083]

You've quickly become a fav channel. Great work both of you.

[@andrew-in-sf]

Ryan Hooper same! I just found them recently. KZbin may have guessed I’m super interested in learning how to fly a helicopter

[@BeckiandChris]

Always curious how people find our videos!

[@ryanhooper5083]

@@BeckiandChris I found you you through that drunk Canadian Peter Mckinnon. ;) JK. PS- Wish you were still in Vancouver.

[@rojax_the_great]

Smarter Ever Day is legit one of the best youtube channels besides you guys! Love all you guys

[@DistilledStills]

Thank you Chris for sharing all this! Watching Dustin's videos actually blew my mind!

[@davidberndt9491]

I noticed a difference in camera angles and speed ramps in this video...and I liked it.

[@theurbanexplorer-schronicl795]

Awesome video Becki and Chris!! As someone who is seriously considering taking helicopter classes, I'm definitely interested in the cost of renting one (like flying from one city to another city), the cost of fuel, and the cost of leaving it at another airport and/or landing area while you explore said city for a few days.

[@BeckiandChris]

Heli rentals are hard to find and often have restrictions. If city to city travel via airports is your goal, fixed wing is cheaper, faster, and way more accessible with flying clubs/rentals etc. Gonna make a video on this too!

[@lawrenceatienza]

Chris you are a freakin rockstar. You guys make an amazing team. I am looking forward to seeing Becki 's aerial photos. I'd rather have a helicopter over a drone.

[@andrew-in-sf]

Law Atienza this. Most people think helicopters are cool. Most people think drones are creepy and annoying, haha.

[@DEZADOG11]

I fell in love with helicopters when my Mom got posted to a Army Aviation base here in Australia. It was a helicopter training base primarily and it lead to lots of cool experiences as a teenager, but i'm still just waiting for the day I start to fly too!

[@oibal60]

PIC qualified in R-44 & R-22. Yup, it's very different, but also very challenging. I found (left) slope landings with a right x-wind to be a doozie, always cognizant of a gust-induced left dynamic rollover. As a comm. multi. fixed wing pilot, coming over to the 'dark side' I had to UNlearn a lot, but I'm glad I added this CATEGORY! (KISP & KHWV)

[@piperpilot26]

Have you ever dealt with mast rocking during shutdown or startup? And if so, is that something that can cause a catastrophic failure in the future?

[@RustyCoon]

A great depiction of the joys of flying!

[@spaogarcia]

Hello from the Philippines! Awesome videos guys! You should have WAY more subs.

[@justinhickox]

Love this!!! Physics! LMAO.....dude that last bit was HILARIOUS!

[@crosspointsa]

Thanks for this, since I first saw the weekend bucket list I have been interested in looking into the difficulties of getting a helicopter pilots license.

[@BeckiandChris]

Put that on your weekend bucket list!

[@bryantlaws4187]

Love it guys! I have a love hate relationship with aviation (fixed wing mechanic) but I love the story and always look forward to new helicopter video's. As always be safe up there!

[@andyrechenberg]

I have about 33 hours toward my fixed wing certificate. I’ve never thought about flying a helicopter until your videos. Now I wanna do it 🚁 Thanks for the great videos.

[@BeckiandChris]

Yesssss come to the dark side

[@shawvercreations9703]

You guys are so freaking awesome!!! Just found your channel and I’ve been binge watching!! Keep the amazing content coming! Cheers!!!

[@NomadicJulien]

Totally agree, you made me do a pilot trial 2 days ago it was pretty interesting. I struggled a little bit with motion sickness 😂

[@BeckiandChris]

[@galtidea]

Chris...in 1999 I took a helicopter tour in New Zealand and was so enamored I got my rotary license the next year in San Diego. Flew an R22 (baby brother to yours). I also had the "how does this thing work?" question I just had to figure out. Fly safe!

[@jamesknechtel]

ahaha this was fun! When I was 4 or 5 years old, I would say "when I grow up, I want to be an airplane!", so it was really interesting to listen to you talk about flying :))

You guys are so amazing! Totally inspired me to start this youtube channel and start vlogging! Love you guys!!! = )

[@VictorVlogsPDX]

Watching you guys fly over some of that amazing terrain and thinking back to the vid with Peter. You can save the answer if you do another heli Q&A, but are you pretty much allowed to land almost anywhere? We live close to the Hillsboro airport and I see the training helis all the time. Makes me wanna just "walk in and do it". 😁😁

[@BeckiandChris]

Private land you need permission from the owner, public land has to be not protected (BLM land is usually good if you’re on the west coast)

[@BenjaminMedlock]

So awesome! I will never get enough helicopter content.

I love you guys! can you make a short video on how to safely hang a GoPro outside the helicopter? I have the suction device but I'm afraid it won't hold on to the wind speed or temperature changes. I'm in South FL and usually fly an R22 or 44. Thank you!
