Gazelle Helicopter Bray 2014

Army Air Corps Gazelle ZB689 taking off at Bray Airshow 2014

[@moselschrauber9052]

For me one of the most beautiful Helicopter 😊

[@dmoder1019]

I miss the Gazelle! I clocked up around 150 hours as an Aircrewman in the AAC (training, never made it to pilot), it’s a fantastic helicopter to fly!

[@stuartmcloughlin]

Still one of the very best scout helicopters ever produced. Beautifully designed.

[@stuartmcloughlin]

Paul Higgins indeed. I’ve been lucky enough to fly in one many times in the UK.

[@rogermoore8154]

I really don't know why they let the crowd so near the chopper?

[@chrisjay8405]

Yeah same, would never happen in Aus...

[@TonVerkleijT3]

The sound ofthe Turboméchanica engine, the three rotorblades and the shape of the crew comparment and canopy reminds me of the Alouette III helicoper.

[@milesbrown8016]

It does remind one of the Alou. III. I was on Alou’s

Der Traumhubschrauber meiner Kindheit und Jugend. Habe da mal auf einem Flugtag in Trier Föhren drin gesessen.

[@davidamos7433]

This could have been an absolute disaster.... idiots to let people be so close..

[@FrancoisLabelle-yf8tj]

The exhausts directed to the non-turning blade during warm up?? Beautiful Galic engineering!!

[@MrPants1970]

Love the gazelle! Aren’t they supposed to have a single rotor forward and two split over the tail so the startup exhaust gas is not blowing on to the rotor when still?

[@chairintheair4322]

You’re quite right!

[@dmoder1019]

I noticed that, too 👍🏻

[@followme-helitechnicaldataint]

Were the spectators really that close to the AAC Gazelle or is it just an effect from the zoom 🤔? Anyway, damn good video big like and subscribe 🤩👍 Thanks for sharing

[@scopex2749]

I flew these in the Air Force superb aircraft and FAST!

[@steveaustin9386]

The screaming chicken leg!

[@jimydoolittle3129]

Gazelle and Lama , the best 🚁 💪👨‍✈️ agile , fast , powerful ,

[@josephk4809]

So cool so close

[@Jeffybonbon]

If something had gone wrong it would have been carnage so tightly packed

[@christianlebordelais]

Belle prise

[@paulward4268]

What a magnificent sound that engine makes. But What the Hell are they doing with the crowd So Close??? Good grief. 😖

[@amitsunkur8127]

Which country is dat beauty still flying????

[@flanker0ne]

Croatia

[@MIB-iy6qq]

Extremely dangerous, flight safety plus health and safety out the window

[@jamesrae5351]

The crowd are far too close to this aircraft when it is turning and burning.

[@beniceffs]

And taking off right in the avoid curve. Amateurs!

[@Jeffybonbon]

This has to be madness

[@tomcowie1563]

beniceffs a towering takeoff was needed to clear the flagpoles in front of the aircraft. Not very clear in that video.

[@henrytheeightheist8091]

Exactly! They should have been made land in the next town! Who on earth organises these airshows where the public can get up close and enjoy something that they would never otherwise see.Outrageous!

[@bedfordboy36]

Erm..blade sail

[@vp15x]

UNBELIEVABLE UNSAFE, I CAN'T COMPREHEND HOW COME THEY ALLOW THAT INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE SOOOOO!!! CLOSE TO A HELICOPTER, VERY IRRESPONSIBLY. WOULDN'T HAPPEN IN THE USA.

[@lawrencemartin1113]

Love helicopters, love the Gazelle, love the AAC, but one of the most stupid things I have ever seen in terms of proximity of civilian onlookers and a single engine helicopter taking off. Potential for carnage there was massive. Extraordinary.

[@marcoapclr2]

Périmètre de sécurité ??? 0 ... Si la gazelle à un problème ça ferait un caranage... Le public est bien trop prêt...

[@lololasrv]

Mmmmmmm

[@rickiericardo4374]

You all need to calm down ,this is the R.A.F in Ireland they land in the outskirts of towns and villages all the time with the fight with the I.R.A .There not some kind of crop dusters from the U.S.A

@@jaseeejit6726 what are you on. Ye dope .or are you just another bored foreigner in there bedroom .get a grip .

[@jaseeejit6726]

Yeoo well i hardly think it landed there uninvited, the good people of the free state wanted it there as part of the airshow, and rightly so, not even getting into a debate with you jog on

[@jaseeejit6726]

Think you need to get your facts right they do not land anywhere in Ireland as it has its own defence force, search and rescue is still allowed if requested, and no war has gone on with the IRA for years, the ira sure sit on the policing board with muchelle and gerry think they realised they were acting the goat for too long 😂😂

The sound of this helicopter has to be the most irritating horrible yuck sound I've ever heard. What an awful sounding aircraft... By the way everyone. It was designed this way... For sound disorientation due to it being a scout helicopter and flying really low around treetops etc. It's sound was it's best defender... Similar to how a fighter jets have the same ability...
