Flying my helicopter to a movie!!

Flying a R22 Beta II Helicopter to a drive in movie theater. Thanks to Skyview in Litchfield for letting me fly in!

[@ericcurrence8477]

This is exactly why I want a helicopter, to do stuff like this.

[@chadoien4033]

Careful you can’t just land anywhere you feel like 😂

[@bendaaa69]

yeah u can...@@chadoien4033

[@8687110788]

its not stuff its called bakchodi in our country 😂

[@astudentpilotlife]

​@chadoien4033 you can technically allow to land on ANY PUBLIC LAND. But it also depend on local regulation too.

[@PhoenIXPhantasies]

@@astudentpilotlife So... you can't land anywhere you feel like. Which is exactly what the person said that you are trying to correct?

flying in the dark looks mad scary

[@snicks50]

Its not but is different for sure

[@jasonasselin]

For some reason I'd bet people weren't too happy about that take-off...

[@djbrunno11]

I thought so too since the movie was still showing 😅

[@jasonasselin]

I was thinking about all the ROCKS that flew too.. I'd be pissed. @@djbrunno11

[@Ghost_III.]

Yeah, he shoulda waited until the end, that heli made a lot of sound.

[@final3119]

Flying right over the lot kicking gravel into the paint and scratching everything up, too. Classy lad.

[@adriankorcyl1418]

Definitely shouldah waited till it’s over and 100% shouldn’t have dusted all the cars 😂 still got our views tho and likely that’s mostly what he cares about

[@mysteryY2K]

i like how he puts on his sunglasses *after* he lands. cool guy alert 🤣

[@iGemera]

I wonder how many girls asked him dating? 😂

[@madmat6233]

and put them away 30 seconds later:D

[@skysthelimit866]

And yet he went to the movies alone in a helicopter

[@kevinprzy4539]

he's got to focus on the money, he doesn't want to end up as majority of guys..married and broke@@skysthelimit866

[@vytec1234]

Great stuff. A couple recommendations, have a GoPro on a fixed mount facing forward, another facing you and add the audio feed from your headset so that you can narrate and we can hear radio calls. It would make it more interactive and enable a fixed video versus one on your head looking all around as the only feed. Some views from your POV is good for sure. Just adds some dimension to the overall video and takes it to the next step. You could mount a camera over your head to give the POV view of you controlling the helo. Love this kind of stuff. I agree going places like you go makes me want to go back and finish up my training. :)

with the price of 100LL you cant afford to bring anyone

A girlfriend would gripe about her hair getting messed up! A fiancé wouldn't marry him til he got rid of it! And we wouldn't have these cool videos to watch if he had a wife! It would already be gone! Why ruin a good time!😂😂😂😂😂

[@nerothostv]

😂 emotional damage

[@themoondoggie1]

I wanted to be a helicopter mechanic in the service, but they assigned me to fighter jets. I still haven't had a ride in a helicopter at age 69. After watching you fly I think I'll finally rent a ride somehow, must be a pilot service around here somewhere. It won't be cheap but well worth it. Thanks

[@OverwatchSIX]

Hah. Ok adderall lips. If you're a "fighter jet mechanic" without the acronym used (LMAO!) you'd know where to get a ride. Mommas basement tier useless.

It's cool to see an birds eye view of the farm lands, crazy how perfect it all looks from that helicopter.

[@Ballard710]

I absolutely love every one of your videos. This is type of videos I like to see. People landing there helicopters in public places that allow.

You might like Tucker Gott. He lands his paraglider on remote islands and chills out for the day now that's what I would love to do

[@ryansdao]

its probably private property, private business

[@aigtrader2984]

Two words of caution, although you probably already know the first one, be very careful coming up against walls. They can do fuck you things to the airflow under those blades… The other thing is, I'm not sure the people who had their cars parked right there appreciated you flying over the gravel. Definitely try to stay over the grass but seriously, this is very cool. Apparently they just let you put this thing down wherever you want where you are :-)

[@bueller747]

I wonder how many people gave you the “whirlybird” leaving before it was over😅

[@M_E_T_R_O__9]

love the flight in the dark at the end.. wow...

[@user-pv4ld1je5x]

I just saw those videos, very good Pilot, 👍 👌 👏

[@TheFlightLevel]

What a cool channel! You even had your ground crew ready to film the arrival and departure! Blue skies from Canada!

[@geoquerry]

I'm pretty sure some random person just pulled out the phone to record a helicopter landing. Who wouldn't 😂😂

[@thegame346]

This looks amazing from a video I can only imagine what it looks like actually in the helicopter

[@demonman1234]

I wanna buy an ultralight heli, something "Cheap" (considering helicopter prices), but still get my license to fly one. I've flown in sims but never irl, even in sims they're difficult to fly (Like DCS for example). The amount of control you have over the heli just shows how experienced you are with it, nice.

[@greenalien8503]

Good idea lol, as a rated helicopter pilot I'll have you know that even if you buy an ultra light helicopter, you will absolutely get yourself killed if you don't go through the normal training to become a private helicopter pilot at the bare minimum. You need to have a decent feeling for autos if you wanna survive, especially in light or ultralight or homebuilt heli's

[@demonman1234]

@@greenalien8503 Yeah, that’s why I mentioned that I want to get a ppl for helicopters first. It’s not much different from a full helicopter, just cheaper and lighter, having to fly at lower altitudes, etc.

[@ryanpmcguire]

I can’t wait to get a helicopter just like this so I can accidentally fly into electrical wires

should've stayed in then. What color is your helicopter?

the fact he pushed the helicopter with ease, now he can say to his grand kids that he pushed a whole entire helicopter to get to the movies💀

[@k1ttycatpoop]

That would be amazing...what a boss move

[@ehudgavron9086]

Ha! You rock! I've taken people to land in the back of restaurants... but never an outdoor movie theater. Thanks for the idea!!! - Commercial Helicopter Pilot, Tucson, AZ, and we're about to get a new outdoor theater in town -- woo hoo!!

Fantastic!

[@chrismillersrcfamily]

So freaking cool.

[@petemitchell9996]

Bro how do you fly at night without any internal light? How do you see your analog instruments?

This is literally the coolest thing I probably have ever seen. Im serious

Great views

[@deebo3864]

What is your minumum altitude/speed for a safe autorotation? I know it’s just a guess but I’m curious about your limits

[@spirostsaganas3484]

There really is no set minimum for both, the minimum for speed depends on the altitude and the minimum altitude depends on the speed. There is a chart called the helicopter height velocity diagram which has certain speeds vs certain altitudes. The shaded areas of the chart represent speeds that are not safe depending on the altitude. - Hope I helped

[@toweri_li]

@@spirostsaganas3484 This chart/diagram is called "Dead man's curve".

[@sameerapprevieww]

Where ever he goes the helicopter goes too!

[@JoshuaNyhus]

Maaan... Robinson paved ways.

[@joshuatomduplessis1088]

This was a cool video, but I got to ask if you got any plans for adding additional external lighting for easier viewing at night when landing?

[@YouTubeOfficial.]

No

[@petemitchell9996]

External? The guy hasn't got a light for a single analog instrument in that cockpit

[@twitchyylive8522]

Trying to get myself to be more productive on my day off, and I come across a channel like this.

[@ericy277]

Now I see why Matt has 1000 hours plus on the Robinson. Most of the videos he's showing are VFR and during the day. After the movie, it's all IFR. Finding your parking spot at the airport becomes a completely different experience at night. Kudos Matt.

[@hunterbob298]

just wondering how much does it cost to buy a light chopper like this, and do I need to submit flight plans before flight?

[@devanweaver9533]

Hey! I'm just curious, how do you deal with the safety issue of people getting curious and getting too close when you're landing or taking off. It would be a disaster if someone swung in too close to the tail rotor without realizing it's there. Regardless, great videos!

[@user-fu8qg6ed6c]

i'd love to get an HD video of that happening

[@flygoapebilly9712]

From content from previous vids, he usually has a spotter or someone there so not a issue, or lands on pvt property with owners permission and has checked area out before hand . I would bet he had permission from theatre owner and where he would land and it looked like he landed well before many people arrived . I fly near nyc,cant do alot of things he can , with all the airspaces and restrictions , but if i flew where he lives i would do the same , good for him enjoying the helicopter

[@YellowKurt]

You can do this anywhere in France, Germany, etc. Only Britania you need a permit to think.

[@nubbythenoobking]

Never in my life did I think you could pull a helicopter with your bare hands. It just seems impossble.

[@arubino19]

The R22 barely weighs around 900 pounds, with the wheels that attach to the skids you can move it around with ease. The average weight of a car is around 3,000 pounds and most adult males can push a car in neutral.
