Gazelle SA342M startup & flying....

[@Paul-fp4ux]

Fantastic! I wish I cou'ld understand their discussion!

[@TheVFRPilot]

They are talking about the checklist items 😉 but in Dutch

[@jan-olofharnvall8760]

I love the Gazelle it’s a beautifully designed helicopter. It’s my second favourite helicopter, right after the Chinook🫡🇸🇪

[@JTechWP]

I was lucky enough to get a front seat flight in the Gazelle with a blue eagles AAC display pilot. The aircraft handling is fantastic, amazing experience doing aerobatics in a helicopter 🚁

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Phwoar, what a looker the Gazelle is!

[@ImpendingJoker]

Wrong music. You should have used the Bluethunder music since BT was a Gazelle.

[@Legoflymaster89]

I agree

[@Hossman757]

Came here to make your post...you got it.

[@MaX-ho7gl]

Great video. The Gazelle helicopter is one of the most beautiful helicopters to fly.🚁🚁🚁♥️♥️♥️

[@v35james78]

I would very much appreciate flying with Ann. I wish her audio wasn’t so muddled.

[@VonMed]

that tiny turbine makes a really iconic sounds, must be spinning at over 20k rpm

[@XBDT]

that 'tiny' turbine spins at 43.000 RPM and produces 870 HP (max continuous power).

[@AbeamdotBe]

Luv the Airwolf theme !

[@cimiez1]

Bastante explicou certinho o procedimento de acionamento durante a fase decolagem ea fase pouso.

[@Kenny-sp8bb]

There's three gazelles at Chino airport, they fly to my Corona airport a lot..,👍 personal helicopter...

Manque un petit coup d'oeil sécurité gauche droite avant d'embrayer...

[@monostripezebras]

beautiful helicopter

[@Trump145]

Very nice wish I could have been in the cockpit

[@kelownadug]

luv the sound of the SA342 :)

[@MrPantss]

Shame you cut from start up to take off… but great video.

[@TheVFRPilot]

Yep, sorry for that. It was a hot day and the GoPro’s were giving me a hard time. We will do a full video startup soon.

[@zakkhuitema3748]

man these things have a great sound. whats the correct term used for that style of anti torque? the ducted fan type. thats what gives em the amazing sounds

[@FrankBlazeNL]

It’s called a Fenestron. The distinctive high pitch “whistle” is specific to the evenly spaced blades. Later Fenestron often have unevenly spaced blades to mitigate this noise.

[@zakkhuitema3748]

@@FrankBlazeNL ahah! thankyou sir! absolutely love this sound.

[@mehmetnusretozturk9717]

Great video. But Music must be Bluethunder theme i think 😊

[@luposolitario940]

che macchina meravigliosa! un sogno!

[@Steeyuv]

Flew one - felt as though it was on rails.

[@Kenny-sp8bb]

A very noisy helicopter, nice to look at,But rather have the MD 530 f..

[@poordadadventures]

Was the guy trainee or getting a rating?

[@TheVFRPilot]

Getting the rating.

[@cimiez1]

EBFN nome de código de aeroportos belgos.

[@TheVFRPilot]

No, it is the ICAO code for the military airport of Koksijde Belgium

Compro 30.000 unidades para o exército brasileiro

[@cimiez1]

Com que grana? 😂

[@lucgev]

En ollemolle in 't Brughs ;-)

[@sergiodesouzajunior3962]

Compro 20 unidades para o exército brasileiro

[@91rss]

toss the Ray bans they are glass, if you hit a bird that glass is going in your eyes.

[@TheVFRPilot]

I’m not sure about the 2 persons in front… mine is also a rayban but no glass 😉 but honestly… I think the impact of the bird on the front window will reduce the speed factor significantly that the force entering the cockpit will not be of that kind to brake the glass of the sunglasses 😎😉

[@91rss]

@@TheVFRPilot actually yes it will if its a large bird. you want polycarbonate lenses.

[@bwunukey]

je gebruikt de verkeerde soundtrack, moet blue thunder zijn, airwolf is ne bell 222 geen gazelle

[@TheVFRPilot]

Juist maar, deze van Airwolf is beter gekend 😉

[@bwunukey]

@@TheVFRPilot da kan ik nie ontkennen :p

[@customrepairshop1607]

[@evanleebodies]

That bloke's face in the left seat looks a bit weather beaten, who'd be a heli pilot eh?
