Another excellent helicopter video, you can't beat that close-up view and she sounds great as well. I know I've said it before, but you're so lucky to spot so many of these awesome Hughes/MD's.

Thank you so much my Friend 😎👍

[@bernardanderson3758]

One skid at a time is a cooler way of landing on your trailer

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

These pilot's are spot on 😎👍

[@TyNovakAviation]

Nice!

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Thank you Ty 😎👍

[@stevetennison5599]

The Bell 407 and MD 530 start-up sounds are closely similar.

[@foxxray54]

Great catch Ed 👍 Very nice paintjob. I currently have a MD500E on the apron, but it doesn't fly due to very bad weather 🙄

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Thank you for your support, I hope you catch that MD500E very soon, can't wait to see it 😎👍

[@foxxray54]

@@EdWhisenantAviation I hope too 😎👍

[@Hoverfiles]

👍👍👍

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Thank you for 👍👍👍 Ruben 😎

[@bernardanderson3758]

Ed I had to come back and see if I can try to see if my friend can slide in from the side and touch one skid and then the other one without swivels on the controls

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Matt is a Real Pro at what he does 😎👍🚁

[@nocalsteve]

Kind of ironic that a helicopter used to install power lines has wire cutters on it.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

The good thing is if the wire cutters do the job he can get paid again putting the wires back up 👍👍 Thank you for watching and for the great comment .
