Night Flying in the R-44! (Over the City and MSY)

[@wouldntyou_like_to_know]

I like the way you two bicker ... like old pals. "Stop doin that" Haha

[@gregson99]

thought those reflections were 16:09 AA shooting up into the night sky lol.

[@dogsbd]

Same here!

[@Fellow_Traveller1985]

Haha! I was like, are those Qassam rockets?

[@skid2151]

Time to put on the NVGs!

[@Flipper-mno13]

That would be awesome to see.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

Need PNVS

[@daffidavit]

Nice short and sweet radio communications. Very nice.

[@colincampbell817]

Lester so chilled that he is on his phone texting!!!!!

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

And I can't even do that on a friggen bus :D

[@postflight]

Thanks for your words of encouragement and support for my Dad! It meant a lot to me that you replied. Everything went well today. If you and your channel were around in the early '80s, maybe I wouldn't have ended up at USMA when I tried to get into USAFA. That was a comedy of errors. Still got to have a career flying jets in the civilian world, thanks to dad. Keep the faith, my brother! Jay

[@Frog-vr151]

Man I love these videos. Love listening to the chatter on the radio

[@therealone85]

best colors ever since minute 6:00 ... best video ever ... great job ... awesome...

[@jakeyboo7]

Omg yess! Looks like an amazing view with all the night lights! C'mon Mover! You got this! 👏🔥❤ Can't wait to watch this Vlog!

[@ldbrush9941]

Another great one Major. You and Lester should go into business together.

[@MrTweaksTV]

oooooooohohohoo the Airwolf vibes !!!!!!!!! soundtrack to my childhood , instant trigger

[@tylerpfledderer9746]

Doesn't matter that this is a helicopter. The radio chatter is awesome! Great video!

[@Garythefireman66]

30 minutes flying with Mover and Lester is time well spent. The city looks great at night, although my favorite will always be New York 🗽

[@baomao7243]

Agreed. Relaxing and strangely therapeutic. Max bonus points for local music. 👍

[@PAS_2020]

Loving this❗️Lester is gesturing a lot and sometimes it looks like he is scratching fleas. And you are as cool as a cucumber. Something is on Lester's mind today. It's all OK Lester❗️☺️👍

[@dogsbd]

At around 2:30 there's what appears to be a Piaggio P.180 Avanti on the ramp. Cool!

[@mepizzasmangled]

oh wow great spot!

[@codyjboudreaux]

My favorite of anything you produce on your channel.

[@ItsCorrie]

Hi Mover Greetings all the way from South Africa! Thanks so much for all your content it really makes my day so much better. Keep safe! Cheers

[@jakeyboo7]

Epic af! You defo need to get some Night Vision Goggles with a helmet mount that would be sickk 🔥👊👌

awesome flying , great video

Next Lesson: Pilot a Helicopter at night over Las Vegas, and pull out a diamond heist #oceansthirteen :))

[@jasonrwilkinson9216]

Great flight, loved the view of the City at night. Late evening is once of my fave times to fly with calmer winds and less convective activity. You must be close to your check flight now - maybe you can say how many hours left in each video Mover so we can count down with you.

[@gjones9842]

Went on beach vacation last week and started reading the Spectre series. Love it and on Executive Reaction now. Hope Spectre and Decker make it off the island. Thanks for all the great content.

[@pdqkevin]

We sssooooooo need Lester to go along in backseat for a ride in your T-38

[@PAS_2020]

YEAH‼️👍

[@jamiereid7637]

Agreed!

[@neonblack6010]

Love seeing KNEW and new orleans east from your perspective!

[@Mike7478F]

Very kewl. Most envious.

[@muzzaball]

Hey Mover, that was a great flight, I really enjoyed that. You are definitely standing on your own and doin' some of that helo pilot sh*t. Lester is along for the ride atm. Whatever works for you!! It certainly is a different perspective IFR. Cheers mate.

[@jamesbanditpudgy194]

Awesome keep it up can't wait til I start training for my pilot licenses

[@TXHusker05]

Not to be a romantic but that sunset over the lake was a gorgeous reminder of why flying is the best. The flying looked pretty good too.

[@shoachiwarrior]

Amazing! 👍🏻👍🏻Cool to see New Orleans at night!

[@jeremyroy99]

3:25 Apparently this 44 came with the pilot relief tube option

[@williamkillingsworth2619]

Awesome! The Building inspection company I worked for was at the hard rock 2 days before it collapsed, testing the windows under the collapsed area. That place was a cluster.

[@bmjake]

MSY, that's Naulins isn't it? Surprised you get any flyin done with the weather they've had this year.

[@Linerunner99]

I love the city at night.

[@speharjason]

What is the liquid dripping from the bottom of the helicopter around the 3:00-3:30 mark?

[@CWLemoine]

Water

[@bottomshot4546]

@@connorhuchteman the humidity in the air condenses as it flows over the cold evaporator coil of the AC system, a drain is provided to dispose of the excess water. Cars have the same.

[@ryansmithza]

Wow, that night flying looks tougher than I thought, and I thought it would be tough!

[@S.C1970]

I have no clue how I misread this as “firing an r40 rocket over the city at night” but I did 😂. I’m very tired soooo.....

[@deantait8326]

WOW that's Cajun speak.

In Hollywood when you are featured in the opening credits your pay goes up......I assume Lester's check is a bit bigger now......🤣

[@etpienaar]

notice the meteor top left hand window 4:22 and another 4:33 ?! reflection of landing lights?

[@TheVenCBR]

Another great video, New Orleans sure looks good at night! Did I hear "aaaaaand, suck it" right at the end? 🤣

[@noahgill9425]

I heard that too

[@moe2898]

What is that liquid coming out from the bottom of the aircraft? 3:38 I see it on almost all of your videos.

[@saxmanb777]

Nice, lived here for 7 years.

[@paulgreen2220]

Do you now have a preference between fixed wing and rotary flight ? As someone who has been a passenger on both i much prefer rotary

[@Glee73]

the only difference is, when mover flys fixed wing, its usually something that moves a lot quicker.

[@ShuRugal]

That city tour takes a lot longer in the Robinson than the Hornet, huh?

[@Flipper-mno13]

Awesome city views. Did you actually fly over the West Bank? I couldn't tell...my father lived in Harvey. Flying at night is definitely an E ticket ride.👍🚁😁

[@lcamber]

I do city tours!

[@lcamber]

And I live on the Westbank

[@jennscott6858]

That was a very enjoyable flight. 😍 Did I hear correctly that Lester does tours? Is that still a thing/do you have a link for scheduling?

[@lcamber]

Let me know when you can go!

[@msnpassjan2004]

3:33 What is dripping out of the bottom of the helicopter ?

[@msnpassjan2004]

Guessing it must be the air conditioner.

[@AmericanAbsolute]

I think it's pretty cool you're learning to fly a helicopter. The one thing that I can't comprehend is how do you go from flying at Mach 2 in a jet down to about 150 knots in a helo. It would seem boring other than being able to land in places that a jet cannot.

[@daviddedominici1705]

Exactly. I just keep imagining 'Independence Day,' but instead of Hornets, they attack the destroyers with these whirly birds

[@daviddedominici1705]

Lester is the only way to immediately know whether or not it's a DCS video

[@yourhandlehere1]

Only until someone comes up with a good mod...

[@lars9966]

Stunning!

0:07 And the night shall last forever... or maybe just until breakfast :D Night flying... the only thing that's harder is night driving, because of all the adversaries coming at you, blinding you directly into the face while you're trying somehow not to hit them headon in the merge. In the air, you'll at least have something to admire down below.

"3 G's, Toppa T, no WC's...why'd you turn my air conditioner off?" -Because you're too cool for this flight school...

[@mikeorr3333]

There is a rule in my family. Only the driver is allowed to modify the climate controls. Passengers may request changes. This rule has ended the needed for countless arguments. Lester would be in trouble in my family.

[@holeshot2809]

He spoke like a true Airmen. They can't live without their A/C, even in tents

But it needs to be about 20% cooler! :D

[@shawn2443]

Mover-was the river ripping in the Hornet done at 500’ ? 😬

[@bozzyrl8957]

Hey Mover, I was wondering if you could maybe make a video showing your DCS/Flight Sim PC Set up? Thanks for the great entertainment!

[@snottypockets]

that was awesome

[@ghostviggen]

It looks real good, what Graphics card are you using?

[@MichaelHeliGuy]

Great night flight. What camera, mount, and setting did you use for the primary camera looking out at the instrument panel? On my last night flight my GoPro Hero 7 Black was a little shaky. Thanks!

[@CWLemoine]

GoPro MAX in hero shot mode.

[@se2100]

Do not touch down they might charge you for it. LOL

[@ronmoore5827]

When I learned to fly at Chicago Midway in the 80's, the landing fee guy used to chase ya down in an old beater car. Part of the fun was trying to get shut down and tied down before he caught ya.

[@gillbaraud4738]

Superdome! SAINTS!!!

[@Prod_Skyy91]

I LOVW YOUR CONTENT BRO

[@Endumattis]

Are you taking PPL? Or is it some kind of CPL etc

[@Chris_Martin707]

Is that normal not to illuminate helipads? Seems a little dangerous. Beautiful views of New Orleans at night.

[@deathsicon]

I've seen some with perimeter lighting and plenty of dark, but I don't fly so my exposure is somewhat limited

[@lcamber]

Not too many helos go into KMSY. Both helipads are on taxiways

[@skid2151]

Is night time required to take the check ride???

[@CWLemoine]

Yup

I got an Airwolf vide with that intro music ❤️

[@KAMIKAZE-dk8xd]

Is noone going to talk about the feul leak? 3:20

[@bottomshot4546]

that's condensate (water) from the AC

[@CommomsenseSmith]

Mover how do you feel transitioning back to Jets when you are in T38 now that you have some significant time in rotary?

[@TheGeorgiaRover]

Sweet!

[@yourhandlehere1]

What are you leaking?

Is something leaking or is that water...?

[@CWLemoine]

Water

[@User77384a]

Yessir.

[@Plasticjesus504]

I just drove West Bank to Mandeville. They all don't know how to drive, locals or visitors. New Orleans has some of the worst drivers I have ever seen.

[@kaiserbuk]

That headlining is a mess!

[@lcamber]

New one already enroute

[@SELAWX]

WHO DAT!!! :)

[@andresilvasophisma]

3:30 Is it supposed to be doing that? I'm not sure The Sheriff would approve that.

[@lcamber]

Is what supposed to be doing that?

[@andresilvasophisma]

The leak.

[@lcamber]

It’s called condensation from the air conditioner in the helicopter! Down in New Orleans we live with very high humidity! Often 95% sustained. Anything with an air conditioner pours condensation from the core!

[@andresilvasophisma]

Thx, dind't know it was from the AC. Usually when you have some sort ok leakage from an engine it's not good.

[@Twist_UAP]

Have you ever seen a ufo/uap

[@CommomsenseSmith]

Lights going across the windscreen look like Tripple A…

This game has pretty good night textures but you should check out MSFSIM 2020 it has better HDR.

[@daviddedominici1705]

It's probably just me, but these helicopters never seem to be moving as fast or as high as the F18 Superhornets. I don't understand the purpose of them. Speed, Force, Distance, Ceiling, dB Level - these are the only things I think should matter.

You don't see a cessna doing the same thing but I don't hear you complaining about that hmm?
