Bell UH-1 Huey evening spraying flight at Five Points, CA

[@budabk]

Steve Wilson, the pilot in this video, was killed last night (Feb 15, 2022) while spraying at Five Points, CA. After losing communications with Steve, his ground crew went looking for him and his Huey. They called in the local police and searched for a couple of hours in the dark. Steve's chopper went down in a pistachio grove. Steve Wilson was a hero in the California farmer's air force. He will be greatly missed.

This pilot is a smooth operator, the huey has always been my favorite helicopter since I first saw them flying around my island,the island of Guam back in the early 70's while the Vietnam war was going on when I was still a kid, and still is to this day, I just love the sound that the rotors make when they are in flight !!!
