15 minutes in the life of a SA 315 B Lama

[@robertdavis6708]

Fifteen minutes of pure bliss. Still the most beautiful chopper ever made. Performance pound for pound # 1. I have watched this video 20 times and still entranced by the pilots skills. On my bucket list to ride in the God given machine.

[@DarienSeminoff]

The Lama in my opinion is the best Helicopter ever made. It'l lift all day at any altitude and at any temp. No matter how Hot how High or Humid it is.... it kicks the Squirrels ass back to sea level I remember a pome I herd once. Lama Dear Lama, rugged and rare, built with conviction, a strong sturdy mare. Who can compare, with your Perspex and tin, for even you fly, while lacking a fin! Even the Dalai, who shares in your name, could never deny, supporting your gain. Your framework and wires, might others repel, but for me you shall always be my dear belle. Fly high lovely lama, breathing thin air, for there you belong, for those who shall dare.

@ Darien ...👍👍👍💐💐💪🏿👌💐

[@peglegnoid6139]

I have flew several hours in a Lama , @1984 The pilot was a ex-Huey Vietnam pilot. Lama is an awesome machine indeed.

[@68626862ful]

could watch this pilot all day long. good job sir.

[@antonlieberherr1211]

Bernd van Dornick one of the best pilots who have ever flown in Switzerland and neighboring countries a top pilot a top person and friend. big respect.

[@nipponhouseplayer]

They should build these by the hundreds and continue old school. There is a difference between working helicopters and point A to point B Marginal loafs! The World has become loafy! The computer is the man flying. If you fly and work on this machine you will understand what a great machine this is and the French did there homework, it is a masterpiece!

[@scottchase6862]

Couldn’t agree with you more! 👍

[@SheelunigsNegs]

I just love this video....saw this again and again.. ❤Lama is great machine with a super skilled pilot like him... Just ❤

[@christianf7971]

Tous les souvenirs d’il y a 35 ans remontent, non , avec nostalgie mais grande joie ! Merci !

[@gordonmccoy1253]

It's a thing of beauty to watch him operate his machine.... Such touch-control! Thanks for a GREAT Vid!!!! Gordon (Because I fly, I envy no man....)

[@m118lr]

The PERFORMANCE of the Llama is just amazing to watch. Just “flits” back & forth effortlessly…

[@yvesd_fr1810]

The SA315 lama is an excellent machine even though it is aging. But this pilot is great... The machine is not much without the pilot !

[@badroosterrc]

Superb aircraft, magnificent piloting skills !!!

[@Fabio4408]

My very best wishes for your future Bernd, you has been and continue to be the best around our passion. A friendly hug from one of your best fan, with great respect ciao from Italy Fabio

[@markpro007]

He is very talented pilot. I keep watching this video many times and very impressive. He flew LAMA seeming like he was driving motorcycle.

[@elmo575]

Great video Jean. I have no doubt Bernd is the best Lama pilot. Air-Glaciers were lucky to have had him as a pilot!

[@frasersymon3634]

fantastic video clip well deserved to a great pilot, I love the lama and a life time wish to fly one, one day

[@Claudecottier]

Superbes images et bravo au pilote pour la précision

[@michel3777]

[@MJH_H125]

Diese "alte Lady" ist einzigartig! Ich durfte die SA315B (HB-XRD) noch einmal im Tessin fliegen, bevor sie stillgelegt wurde. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! Schöne Grüße

[@jonchmielowski835]

the helicopter is amazing but this pilot is the real genius! holy cow what finesse this man has! its like this machine was made for him lol, great flying skills TOP NOTCH

[@igorcappellin377]

Una "macchina" formidabile...👍🏻...🔝 il pilota..

[@deimos2k6]

I wish him to continue flying, he has impressive skills, plus I can see a great passion, really feel man and machine toghether as one in this video, I guess there should be no real retirement day for a pilot.... My sincere Regards!

[@naknakacknak]

I can see him doing extreme flying for movies, and getting some real $$$ for his skill.

[@DieuSebek]

Superbe montage! Bravo!

[@mikem5043]

Love the Lama. Such a utilitarian workhorse!

[@marcovarago4509]

[@yeticlimber2768]

Lama zu fliegen ist einfach nur toll🤗💪💪👍

[@yeticlimber2768]

The best Helikopter for Hard work in the Mountains,and easy to fly🤗👍❤️

[@gangstaparadise-qu3su]

The sound of its engine like an orchestra.

[@mosquito7459]

Je révisione cette vidéo avec un plaisir partagé par les fans du AS 315 B " Lama", j'ai participé dans le transport et l'heliportage de béton que se soit en France ou en Suisse, et je puis vous dire que cette bête de somme qu'est le "Lama" est unique dans sa catégorie, cerise sur le gâteau j'ai pu profiter de la part de certains pilotes, d'avoir eu quelques sensations vertigineuses et époustouflantes de dextérités lors de vols gracieusement offerts, dommage que cet appareil soit en fin de vie, mais gageons que beaucoup le fassent voler encore et encore pour le plaisir des yeux et sa typique musique de sa sœur Alouette 3 🤔

[@knightwolf200612]

What an awesome video. Thanks for creating and sharing it. It shows pretty good why I love helicopters so much more then airplanes :D

[@ssjagger100]

So were they workers he was picking up and dropping off on the side of the mountains? Or hikers? Excellent piloting skill.

[@6marco5]

Ich glaube der Pilot fliegt mit dem Heli noch zu Hause in der Wohnung herum. Zu krass!

[@christophzoller6496]

The flying Workhorse, went out with Wucher Heicopter years ago, guess' one of the best Maschines forever😎👍🏻

[@kz4506]

What a pilot man he knows how to through that thing about ,

[@mauriceouellette7514]

Bonjour a tous du Canada Ça c'est ce que la France la vraie France ,peut fabriquer comme produit ,et compétitionner n'importe qui sur terre . Bonne continuation aux Suisse de Air Glaciers

[@giovannikoll]

[@makilajj]

It wasn't the Nuffenen Pass but the Simplon Pass. Greetings from Switzerland ! :-)

[@JeremyAverett]

[@tartarefineherbes1111]

[@scottchase9409]

Hi Jean, Can you tell me the name of the first and second song in this video? I love this video. We are considering the purchase of an Alouette II

[@makilajj]

Hello Scott ! The songs are Kämmerer - Dare my light and Robert Chacon - forget the pain. You download these songs for free on www jamendo com. I'm looking forward to seeing the first video of your Alouette II !

Mythique Lama

[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

LAMA , record d'altitude au dessus de Istres en France , 12442 mètres d'altitude , bien au dessus de l'altitude de vol des avions de ligne ! increvable LAMA !!

[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

je rappelle que le premier hélicoptère dans le monde avec une turbine , et qui était capable de doubler l'altitude des autres hélicoptères à moteurs pistons , l'Alouette II !
