Sorry for the audio quality in the 505. For some reason, my GoPro adapter started failing at this point (and it eventually failed completely in later flights). I did my best to clean up the audio (it was way worse than this) to make it passable.

You might try raising the volume. You can definitely hear them (or at least most can), it's just not pristine.

The editing was great. I really enjoyed watching all the familiar scenery go by trying my best to identify from the air. Yes the audio sucked but who cares I could still hear enough to make sense of it. If you use David Clarke you might try contacting them directly they responded to Oceaneering when I worked there.

@@CWLemoine I notice some major changes that Bell has made both to the nose of the machine and the engine cowling overhead. Very different from the legacy 206 JR. Sweet machine. Love the way the JR sounds (and smells) when you start one up. Can't beat a turbine.

It's been how long now? 4 Years? I still hate the look if this fugly thing. And it doesn't grow on you. It is a flying Voldemort. And always will be. One of the worst machines ever build by Bell. They practically robbed their antique cabinets, scrambled some 30year old parts together, robbed a robinson of the hull and a 47 on the mainframe, and called it 505. *shudder*.

I'm sure all the modern features are nice, still can't hold a candle to the original 206 Jet Ranger in the looks department though. I think the Long Rangers (206L) were the best looking civil helicopters ever made. The nose just kills the looks of the 505.

There is one based near me and I'll have to have an hour in it even though it's close to $900 per hour! Leigh and Mike are delightful and living the dream, hope they have a safe and enjoyable onward flight back home.

Hey Mover, that was excellent - thank you. I always get so excited when I see another Helo vid. Hard to be other than confident with the amount of experience with Leigh in the left seat. You must be pretty happy with flying a new Jet Ranger? I can't believe she called it obnoxious - I reckon it's a beautiful looking chopper. I could guess that it's a safety feature, but what were the bags on the skids? Thanks mate, you're getting closer to license!! Cheers.
