10-Year-Old's First Helicopter Flight Lesson in an Enstrom 480B

[@paramotorjack]

Awesome! What a great dad doing his job for a young aviation enthusiast. Great job dad. And great job to you to Joey flying a helicopter for the first time. Im 36 years old and have only gotten to fly in a heli one time. What a memory, but you my man got your pops with you as the pilot in command, teaching you his knowledge of flying. I would have given anything for this. Great job you two. keep up the good work and make that dream happen!

It's incredible to see a 10-year-old already trying to fly, and in a helicopter, no less! Full respect to the father for instilling a love of the skies in his son. Sub for your growing. Great motivation.

A los 10 y 16 ya es piloto o menos y para licencia de conducción necesitas tener 18 años

Loved this. With kids like this guy my faith in America is increased. Need more adults like him. He' got a grear future ahead!

[@johnratcliff]

You may have just enlisted a new helicopter pilot! You certainly made some incredible memories with your son!

Way to go Joe ! 🫡🚁 Super special Dad and Son flying together 🥰

Kids have natural eye-hand coordination. I could hold a stabile hover at around four hours in army flight school.

[@Tomshuski350]

I held a stable hover for about 10 minutes within 1 hour of flying

A long time ago, a Warrant Officer Flight School (WORWAC 66-1) classmate of mine; David Impola of Negaunee, was a Test Pilot for Enstrom. Unfortunately, he perished in a night time Army National Guard OH-58 crash at or near Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. He was a good person. May he rest in peace.

Joe, I have to tell you, I had a difficult time hovering when I was taking lessons, it was more of a 'pendulum' than anything, lol. Congratulations big guy, you're gonna do very well. Thanks for taking me along, I enjoyed it. Happy Landings!

Lucky young man and lucky dad for having a son so cool

[@TheLimofixer]

What a great experience for him, good job.

[@FreeDom-xe8px]

I gotta say, I learn so much makes me feel I was in Joey's seat. Awesome. When is the next lesson?

[@MarkMurray-q4l]

Ya, very cool.. My first time in an Enstrom was a 480 and I had 3,500 hours rotor time across the full Bell line. I was incredibly impressed with what a stable great flying machine it is. The simplicity of the systems design blew me away.

[@TamasLaszlo-83]

Superb video! The young man made pretty cool hovering, athough it is not easy for the first time...😊 I tried hover by an EC-120B colibri here in Hungary. The helicopter tried to fly every dierctions...😁

[@rockspyder3970]

Because of the high-inertia blades, Enstroms make for very easy trainers. Possibly too easy, some find transitioning to two-blade teetering rotor systems a bit challenging. Two-bladers are better ab-initio trainers in that sense. But if you plan to go further with other multi-bladers, then the Enstrom is perfect. Certainly the nicest machines for autorotation, they just float on! Keep going young man, I wish you success, safety, and many happy hours of flying.

At 71 years young I would love to learn too
