Helicopter Traffic Jam | AGUSTA A109 | AIRBUS H130 & H125 | BELL 407

Rush hour at Rio De Janeiro helipad, with all pads full and helicopters having to do waiting patterns to wait for a clear spot.
The AGUSTA A109 is twin-engine light-weight helicopter that comes in two popular variants: the AGUSTA A109 Grand New and the AGUSTA A109 Grand. The Grand New is equipped with advanced avionics, a digital glass cockpit, and improved safety features, providing a modern and high-tech flying experience.

This is the dream spot for all helicopter lovers! To see so many different models and types in such a short time and to hear how different the all sound must be fantastic! I am flying only RC helis, but I am crazy for all helis, big or small since I was a child! This place would be the paradise for me!!

[@RioHeliSpotter]

Indeed it is! It's also very nice that you get to be very close to the helicopters. I am also into RC Helis, I've flown them for years! Right now I stopped flying them because of lack of time. You can check my RC channel here if you want: www.youtube.com/@EricValerianoRC/

​@@RioHeliSpotter407 é espetacular! Faça sempre registros.

[@laviation.]

Very nice Video! I have a question:Where is it? Can I Spot some helis on flightradar24?

[@RioHeliSpotter]

It's the SDRJ helipad in Rio de Janeiro Brasil, also known as Heliponto da Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. You can see some flights in flightradar, but most of them don't have ADS-B so they won't appear.
