Bell 47 Helicopter Classic Ride!

Take a 'spin' in a Bell 47G-4 - here at the Innisfail Fly-in Breakfast. 'A classic ride' with Glenn Chong with a little river stop. Keep it straight?

[@mikeluchia6555]

My grandkids and I met Glenn at the Red Deer Airshow last year. Very nice guy and a beautiful helicopter.

[@monyetcabean5943]

In Indonesia, even if you have a lot of money, it is very difficult to have a private helicopter because there are many regulations and taxes.

What is the function of that black lever at 05:15 that Mr. Chong pushes?

[@kurt6420]

Carburetor heat, I don't know why he keeps adjusting it though?

[@lawrencemartin6041]

Fantastic. I love the Bell 47. The helicopter of my childhood. I used to work at an airfield part time as a young man (Fairoaks in Surrey - South East England) and very often refuelled these. There was a small fleet of them used for training. I loved the look and sound of them. (Sadly, never got a flight in one though!). I can't remember the last one I saw flying in the uk. Probably the late Tracey Martin's version which was often at Fairoaks back in those days and continued to appear at a few airshows on and off. Thanks for the post.

These Bells saved a lot of lives during the Korean War, I know because my dad was one of them.

My dad too at Pusan. Have a good one sir..

[@eddiejones.redvees]

My dad paid for use all to take ride off Southport Beech when a was 9 years old after the flight He said to the pilot if they had some of these Aircraft in burma where he fought in the second World war a lot more lives would have been saved

[@ginlibomjen5707]

This type of all glassy helicopters arrived surprisingly at Aalo then Along airfield during the first Mopin time , when I was a small boy . They were wearing caps same as this pilot.They clicked photos of Gallo womens ponung dances.Pictures were printed out instantanously , pulled out from the camera and gave us . Perhaps they were Americans / Britishers ,all looked handsome.At least 7/8/9/10/ helicopters arrived at the same time from the sky. Who were they ?

[@kevinvt4174]

Got my license in a Bell 47-D many years ago with the lower powered Franklin but still a Beautiful and user friendly Heli to fly and with the wooden blades the auto's are un-believable. I paid $90 per hour with fuel included man those days are long gone.

How do you fly with 3 ppl, there's a lever in the middle seat but that's occupied by a beautiful mermaid, so is there a lever at the side of each seat there? :-y

[@caramba10]

Never flown in one but the TV series Whirlybirds kickstarted my love of helicopters and the 47 has always been a firm favourite.

[@barefootbob1269]

I still think the Bell 47 is one of the sexiest helicopters ever made!

Why does the pilot sit on the left in the Bell 47? I've noticed this in many videos, why do they sit on that side when normally helicopter pilots sit on the right?

Depends on the helicopter. Hughes 500 series is also on the left.

Smooth flying and a mighty pretty bird Mr. Chung. I flew G-2s, G-3s and a G-5 with Omniflight Helicopters. My Commercial checkride examiner asked if I now preferred fixed or rotary wing aircraft. I answered: "If the Navy wouldn't offer me an F-14 Tomcat, any helicopter would do."

Flying bubble I've flown in one of these in Kissimmee florida the pilot flew lower than snake shiiiit hilarious.

[@RNWDawg]

Pilot in left seat? The Bell 47-G3 I flew for many years had the pilot in the right seat.

[@letsflyinternational]

Any I ever saw last 50 years were Lt seat - interesting.

[@RNWDawg]

@@letsflyinternational Hmm, it is interesting. I don't believe my memory is faulty, but it was many years ago. The Bell 47 I flew was out in Hawaii in the 1970s. I remember after flying fixed wing from the left seat that the helicopter was distinctly different with the PIC in the right seat. Don't fly helicopters any more, but an still tooling my 1956 Cessna 182 out when possible.

[@muhamadsallehabdulhamed3848]

In the early 60's when I was a kid the RAAF pilot near my home liked to play " catch me if you can " with the kids there.He landed the Bell on the other side of the field and the children then chased the helicopter.When the children were very near him he would take off and landed on the other side and the children would chase him again.It sèem liked the pilot and the children were having a fun time.I still remember the good old times.

[@gregbumgardner3006]

I always thought it was weird that only two rotor blades can lift a helicopter. Like it needed at least 3-4 blades. Lol

[@erikbunty2016]

Only two blades were needed to lift the bigger Huey.

[@stewartstephanson5178]

WOW, brings back memories ! First ever ride in a aircraft, was at Innisfail airdrome, fall of 1962, age 17. It was in the local flying club, Piper PA 12. Anyone know the call letters, club owned it for years I believe. I immediately recognized the area, our family farm was north west near the medicine river. Love helicopters, my second journey in flight was in April 1965. Nordegg AB to Chungo forest lookout near Brazeau river and Jasper Nat Park. It was in a Bell 47J-2 ( CF-AFK ) pilot Jack Lunan on the controls. It was a slow struggle to reach the site at 7425 ASL. Three souls on board, cargo, a propane bottle will do that. This helicopter was later super charged, not sure how much it increased performance tho. ( I was transferred few weeks later to a steel tower site, the service needed my young legs on the ladder ) Over 50 years later, I returned to the old Now abandoned Chungo site, a bucket list item. Went that trip in a R44 Raven, two on board, little cargo, fun for sure! ( got my private fixed wing, May to Aug, 1978 )

My first helicopter ride was in a Bell 47 with my future wife as tourists in Panama City, Florida. I later joined the army and they taught me how to fly. Flew five years, finishing my obligation in a later Bell product, the AH-1S ECAS. Certainly a highlight in my life, but I will always remember fondly that first ride in the 47.
