Hughes MD-500 Helicopter Turbine Engine Start Procedures, startup, Oahu Hawaii Helicopter Tour

[@ashesdrivered]

Thank you for posting a real sound video. I didn't need a "music video" post, and you delivered perfectly!

[@TucsonDude]

Exactly!

[@belchnasty]

Brilliant video!!

[@tone569]

My favorite heilcopter ✨️ 👍 ❤️

[@kiwikeith7633]

Thanks. What a change to see and 'HEAR', aviation content created by a real aviation enthusiast, not a MUSAK video. What a delight!

[@davidmeinke1458]

My first flight in the HUGHES 500. More fun than a person should be allowed to have. Thank you.

[@kenhomeier8629]

So glad you didn’t have any music going. The sounds of that machine!

[@pulln100]

Out of every video that I watched on here with people giving the basic instructions for starting a turbine helicopter this guy actually made look so much easier than every other video on here did not over complicate things great video

[@FredtheDorfDorfman1985]

That landing was bad ass! No slow grandpa behind the stick approaches with this pilot. He's got some good piloting skills, I'd love to go on one of his flights.

[@OahuDivingScubaTours]

Jeff, this Oahu-based helicopter tour company is one-of-a kind. You won't find this type anywhere in the islands. Like having a rich uncle with his own helicopter in his backyard. Josh nails it all the time. Highly recommend.

[@shedrickfields7899]

DAMNIT!!! Josh landed like a true 'BOSS'... Excellent skills....

[@pixamite1]

Thank you! Love it!!!

[@hondo500e]

Love the sound of the turbine and the helicopter

[@OahuDivingScubaTours]

Yea so true. The sound the smell- love it!

[@mikewarden57]

Excellent!

[@simonvance8054]

I love the 500D.. had a fun flight heli-boarding once in New Zealand..the helipad was on the edge of the mountain on the skifeild at 7185 ft asl. We lifted off and the pilot without pausing to hover immediately did a barrel roll / pedal turn over the edge and flew down the steep mountain slope to build up speed.

[@timothyhopper8804]

I was crew chief/door gunner on Hughes 500 loh RVN 68-69. Flew doors off except during monsoon. Got some unauthorized stick time and it was a blast. Best of times, worst of times!

[@TucsonDude]

Young, living in Hawaii, flying helos for a living...viva la vida!

[@TheOneTrueSpLiT]

Can't get much better than what he has.

[@jsnjcnt]

Beautiful video. Thanks for the detailed startup process info. I really like the magnum pi theme. It is a shame that the estate where magnum pi was filmed was demolished.

[@johnsanders7012]

The best sound any helo pilot loves to hear.

[@alexmartinez3197]

this is amazing one day when I go Hawaii I will definitely visit you guys

[@OahuDivingScubaTours]

Two good tours, go SCUBA diving then jump in that MD500!

[@torkdork69]

What a majestic beauty of geography and power of flight.

[@BrandonEdgar]

Beautiful demonstration she's a beautiful craft

[@lukasl.8783]

This helicopter is so nice

[@AArcticAA]

Magnum PI Sweet little helicopter. I wish I could afford one. Good walk through. Delta Force operators like it too

[@HeliPadUSA]

Definitely a great video!

[@OahuDivingScubaTours]

We like it too. Always fun to watch- thank you

[@kalas1988]

[@therealebolaboy]

That is awesome! Thank you!

[@martinleicht5911]

KOOL !! 👍

[@CraigMansfield]

Great explanation. 👍👍

[@Craigs_car_care]

If that was the only thing I did on the island on vacation, that would be perfect! :)

[@OahuDivingScubaTours]

Well of course diving too...

[@Craigs_car_care]

Ok diving too. :)

[@mhey1705]

That thing looks like a dream to fly

[@davidmcc359]

The original "Magnum" helicopter, I believe, was wrecked in a crash some years ago thankfully the pilot survived. It DID crash and caused considerable damage during the making of the series killing one of the programme makers on board. Nice to see the paintwork, a nod to a famous show and helicopter which we all wished we could fly and own..

[@majorrimaha4437]

More than one aircraft was used in the filming of magnum PI, and different models were also used

[@tylerbuckley4661]

There was another crash the pilots name was Tiny they were lifting a ac unit where the helicopter had a loss of tail rotor effect and it went down no one killed but the ground crew saved Tiny's life by lifting the helicopter out of the water and helping Tiny out to safety

[@westernstar4964]

I love that smell. Only a real serious aviation fan will understand that.

[@Zatracenec]

Boss landing!

[@DanielHelc]

Hehe, flew on this bird in Maui in 2004-5, I believe when it was under the Alexair

[@69adrummer]

When viewing the outside I was thinking to myself "That bird has the same color scheme as T.C.'s chopper from Magnum, P.I." .............then on the inside it says "Magnum Edition" haha

[@williamzoom]

Google N58243.

[@TheOneTrueSpLiT]

Didn't the original H-500 used in Magnum PI crash while be used for unrelated filming?

[@jonathanpattard1124]

tu fais quoi demain ? on va faire un tour en hug 500 ? nikel

[@michaelbrown5838]

What is the trigger, lever attached to the cyclic, with the line running off it ?

[@HeliNomadic]

Manual release lever for the cargo hook which is located on the belly of the aircraft.

[@ScrotusXL]

Is this the same type of helicopter that TC flew in Magnum PI?!😮😅👍

[@MeppyMan]

Yes

[@TransferAir]

My dream: this genius 🚁 with an upgrade/tuned Engine like the military-model MH-6 (no guns pls!) = would be so awesome!!!. (I know I am a dreamer but I’m not the only one) 🤙🏼‼️

[@martinlovell2922]

they do have one, it’s called a 500E with C20R engine or the 530F

[@OahuDivingScubaTours]

NEW- Have you ever seen a diver 'shallow' an air ring bubble? kzbin.info/www/bejne/raS9dIiZp6itkLc

[@andreyguk5969]

А это где?

[@elmoseaa6262]

[@mohamedalkaboom]
