This guy can explain things very well. He gave a whole class on how a helicopter works.

[@TheJRvidman]

I fly model helicopters for 23 years now, and I thought I know everything about helicopters. Man, I could listen to this guy all day! Great explanations in a perfect way.

[@shamusa943]

Beautifully explained. Lovingly maintained. Thank you.

My Dad flew Bell 47s all over the Canadian North / Arctic in the late 50's. Later, he became a Tech Rep for Bell and did a support tour in Vietnam in '65. I was lucky enough to be raised around helicopters and the pilots and engineers who crewed them. Great folks!

One of the most comprehensive walkarounds I've ever seen, thank you for sharing!!

[@noelmcgarry456]

Best explanation of operation and mechanics of a helicopter I've ever heard thank very much

[@robbyowen9107]

Unbelievably good vid , Mike you are a star in my book . Thanks

[@davidkerbow5840]

Mike gave my son-in-law and me a ride about 15 years ago in the -47. And, Mike and I both flew for Flexjet for many years as well. He is like the Energizer Bunny..never stops.

What a great video. I’ve been associated with helo pilots but am amazed at how clear and simple Mike explains the Bell and how it flies. Literally a mini ground school in 30 minutes. Really impressive presentation!👍👍

[@aroundontonagonwitholdeswi6377]

Excellent overview of an awesome classic helicopter. Thank you!

“leave me alone! i’m bein famous! i’m a star!”

[@Aero360Aviation]

This is a man who knows what he is talking about. Great video!

A lot cleaner than the 3B1’s I mustered cattle in back in the ‘80s in Australia.

[@tyroneclarke1666]

Thank you so much for sharing. Really enjoyed the walk around with you sir. Cheers from Perth WA 👍🦘🇦🇺

Great walkaround... In the late 60's, Santa Claus used to land in a Bell 47 at the elementary schools in our town, they would land in the playground with all the kids standing off in the distance, really cool.

Beautiful machine and a beautiful interview, you let the man talk and it was absolute perfection!

[@elite.executiveprotection]

I'm in Australia and I am starting my Diploma in Aviation for the Bell 47 and Robinson 22 from 04/01/24( career change at 47 years old ) and this guy explains it so well and he didn't rush it, I could listen to him all day! It was awesome to hear about the mechanical side of things and the terminology on how things work and what they do, so thanks mate..

[@tihspidtherekciltilc5469]

That walk around was by far the best so far of one of the stars of a show I grew up watching, M.A.S.H. Both of you are appreciated very much and is what You Tube was made for.

What a beautiful bird! The plexiglass alone is a work of art, imo. That sound of it in flight is so recognisable.
