From the Ground Up - A documentary short film about helicopter pilots

[@RCCopterLove]

Fantastic video! I was shocked that several pilots were developing their fascination and love for helicopeters as children, observing them when living close to hospitals. Thats how my love for helicopters was developing as well. I never became a fullsize helicopter pilot, but now I am completely in love with RC helicopters and have deep passion for flying them. A small compensation!

It's amazing how becoming familiar with helicopters at a young age, and seeing them in a positive light can have such an impact of people to become pilots, or developing a passion for rotorcraft in general! Thank you for sharing!

[@RCCopterLove]

@@coptersafety Yes, when I watched your video and listened to the stories of these pilots I was so surprised how many of them have seen helicopters at very young age and fell in love forever. Thank you for your friendly reply, although I am only flying RC helis!

Thanks for the video, you guys wrapped it together nicely on the time, dedication & involvement into the life of a full time pilot. (From a career & family perspective.) I never even thought of the possibility of being a heli-pilot myself until I was about 27 years old. But when it hits you it is hard to ignore the passion for the 'noise' it brings. I am not flying full time and most days are glad that I have another career going. Keep it up, you guys are doing great work. Kudos from Cape Town, South Africa! 💪🚁😎

[@coptersafety]

Thank you for watching and your kind words!

Amazing film! 😊This video perfectly demonstrated the life of a helicopter pilots. Nice to see these pilots how likes their jobs. And we could see a little part of his family backgrund whitch is very importatnt also. To do this job with a well-ballanced family backgrund is necessary. My father was an EMS helicopter pilot here in Hungary (now retired).I flew with him many time by an EC-135 and MIL Mi-2 helicopters. That was fantastic!

[@coptersafety]

That was really cool, I'm struggling with studying, so these always help with the motivation so push through.

It feels like it is a never ending cycle with no end in sight, just keep pushing on, eventually you will find yourself higher up the ladder. 😉

I am a fixed wing pilot. Helicopters are a hell of a lot more difficult.

[@MCF787]

Awesome.

[@roystevenson9632]

[@briankimmell7960]

Thank you

[@GamerDragonflyLP]

Beautifully put together :) I'm wondering.. is that UpsideDownwash? with Pegasus :P

[@rogerd777]

Many years ago I saw a bumper sticker that said "Helicopters don't fly, they just beat the air to death".

[@coptersafety]

That is one way of putting it.

[@Michael-ig8ne]

I thought it was beat the air into submission

[@bentheguru4986]

Always wanted to fly choppers but due to the very high costs involved, nope, leave that for the rich or those huge in debt.
