Birds Of Prey (1973) helicopter action highlights

[@anridapu]

A great movie for its time ... and no CGI!

[@dennislilly2818]

I've only seen this movie once, when it aired on TV. I remember it well.

[@charlesstrader3005]

A really great movie. I'm so happy someone put it out here.

[@barnetrebel776]

I was lucky to see it at the cinema!

[@jamesbrown-ws3fz]

Loved this movie as a kid

[@rickr442]

Epic, honest copter action and the always solid David Janssen. It doesnt get much better.

[@VegasDave53]

Great flying by Jim Gavin in the 500, he really liked that bird.

[@ZacYates]

It shows!!

I watched this movie with my dad when I was eight or nine years old.... I could never find her anywhere to see her again.... Thank you very much for uploading these scenes of it that bring me very good memories !!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@ZacYates]

It's my pleasure! These scenes were all I knew of the film until the internet educated me. The whole movie is available on KZbin, in case you've not found it kzbin.info/www/bejne/roq0oIaifamBapo

I remember watching this movie, a long time ago with my late father

Have you noticed? In the US movies, the bad guys are always flying french helicopters... (Birds of prey / Deadly encounter / Die hard, etc...)

[@jungbolosse3034]

The bloke in the Alouette he just has to climb higher and the Hugues will die😊😊

[@VictoryAviation]

So we’re just using pump gas in a turbine now are we? 😂

[@Alpa6c]

Gas turbine engines of that type can temporarily operate using gasoline.

[@karlreinke]

How does he fly a helicopter with only one hand? Don't you also have to have one hand to operate the "collective"?

[@ZacYates]

TV movie magic ;)

[@Alpa6c]

Although using a headset is much preferred, during level flight a pilot can temporarily friction/release the collective using their left hand for controlling the cyclic.

[@richardmoore2124]

The sound on this clip SUCKS!

[@ZacYates]

Sure does! Digital transfer from a VHS which had been copied from a VHS which had been taped from TV. Ah, the 80s!

[@gasisthepastendoil]

Idiots with money by Robinson and they can't even fly underneath power lines just as high
