OH-6A Helicopter Refuel and Flight

[@timothyhopper8804]

Oh-6 crewchief/door gunner, Viet nam 68/69, never got enough of being in that bird and got some stick time too. Brings back some good memories 👍👍

[@Aero_Snout]

@@timothyhopper8804 this one is a 1969 and also flew in Vietnam. Great aircraft!

[@francisconti9085]

What a beautiful veteran bird, still in service! OH-6A ..with all the latest fixin'z!😄 I love these early 369's, so simple, so smooth, "more right pedal" LOL I'd love one, meanwhile I can appreciate them & your respect for the bird..but there were some things we missed..preflight, STARTING! EVERY lightoff is a moment of truth AND consequence, & moment of "IT'S ALIVE!!!" THANKS FOR THE VID, AND GOOD AVIATING!

[@Aero_Snout]

@@francisconti9085 she’s a blast to fly. I love the simplicity and all around engineering.

[@francisconti9085]

@Aero_Snout Me too! Howard had good ideas for the Hughes 269, safety and control authority, passive antitorque..compact size.. 369 was stellar performer and engineers built for weight reduction without sacrificing strength, capturing bonus performance.. the evolution has been amazing!(I love looking back @ it). But for personal flying, I'd love me a 369HE/Hughes 500C!😎👍🚁

[@BBBOZE]

I work in a chemical factory in Japan🇯🇵 I was impressed by your careful work. In particular, it is the part where you point to the finger👉 that was going in the 6:55 part to confirm. I was impressed by the action that factory workers often do in Japan, and that they are also doing it overseas. Safety first, good luck ✌️

[@Aero_Snout]

Increíbles habilidades con el cíclico y los pedales, muchas muchas gracias por recordarme todos los pasos a seguir andes del despegue, revición pre vuelo, lista de verificación, revisar instrumentos y gobernabilidad antes de emprender de vuelo estacionario a vuelo de traslado, este hermoso helicóptero es una abejorro o un picaflor, vuela libre en los cielos y tiene la velocidad y maniobrabilidad de un halcón, gracias por este increíble video, muy profesional, saludos cordiales desde Chile, espero ver otros vídeos, gracias.😊🎉❤

The OH6 & C models were my favourite 369 series to fly, and that is a beautiful example.

[@Aero_Snout]

@@apostlestumpy same here. Great aircraft!

[@bernardanderson3758]

A friend of mine has the same remote cart to move his Helicopter around and The OH-6 you have is my dream to own

[@Aero_Snout]

@@teggy689 will do. Thanks for the input 🤙🏼

[@aprianto1985]

great helicopter

[@SMFZ100]

You just have to shake the jar for sighting simple in order to find any tiny bit

[@Itsjhorts]

I wish we could get an aviation unit here at MCSO. Alabama needs more forsure

[@Aero_Snout]

@@Itsjhorts Agreed! I’m surprised one isn’t established there.

[@Itsjhorts]

@ did you do all your training on your own prior to LE? Or do you know of grants out there that help with LE to get their certs? I have been slowly piecing together things to pitch the idea since we have an airport in the middle of our county. But as far as funding and grants I’m kind of clueless where to begin.

[@Aero_Snout]

@ My certifications were obtained while employed by the agency. I haven’t heard of any grants for training, but you may want to look into LESO if you’re thinking of starting a unit. They may be able to help with surplus aircraft.

[@Noone-b8y]

Wow I can work there all day hehehe, watching fromm Philippines sir

Thank you!

[@HongyaMa]

Move the nozzle stowage next to the reel and move the pump lever lower. Never reach up or over the fuel tank, Had a guy during the mid 80s reach up and turned into the blades of a Hughes 500 D in Sun City. Lost his arms. Hot refuel or cold know the situation around you. Ever walk around a Brantley B 2 ?

[@sgtsucc5348]

they should design a choppaspotta that doesn't sound like it's going to fall to bits when you're using it hahaha

[@Aero_Snout]

@@sgtsucc5348 first time is used it I thought it was broken. Tough machine though.

[@Aero_Snout]

@@alangeddes268 agreed, sir! Thank you for your service 🚁

[@lazy7301]

do American police departments put pilots through flight training or is that something you need before going for the role?

[@Aero_Snout]

@lazy7301 good question. It depends on the agency, but most I’ve seen (including us) will put qualified candidates through flight training. They do it in-house or they’ll contract with a flight school.

Whats the use of grounding the chopper whit a cable from the truck if you dont ground the truck?
