Great to see/hear these historic old birds flying,thank you

[@fjgu7305]

Wundervoll Heli! Jn meiner Kindheit waren die oft bei Manöver dabei

[@johnshockley7921]

I flew over 200 missions as a machine gunner in the UH 34 version while in Vietnam. These were reliable workhorses, but rolling off an aircraft carrier and dropping down toward the water before she got enough lift to climb up was always a butt puckering moment.

[@bluenoteone]

the crew chief who trained me on the 53D in early '74 also crewed these in Nam. He said getting all the grease fittings was fun as well as all the racket they made.

[@danpatterson8009]

Presumably into the wind? So if the engine failed, you could either get killed on impact with the sea, or drown before you could get out, or get out OK and then get run over by an aircraft carrier. I hope you got paid well.

A great helicopter of it's time. Many soldiers were transported and saved by this classic workhorse. The same can be said of the earlier S55. Great video.

[@localsheriff]

What a frickin' beast - I never grow tired of listening to these obsolete radial engined choppers! Any intel on when these 'ugly angels' were phased out of service from the Bundeswehr?

[@noteimportax6477]

Because they are old pos radial engine cr...p

[@c4blew]

Not sure if this info is still needed, but afaik they were phased out between 1971 and 1973.

[@sipu842]

geez... how long does it take to take off!?

[@42lookc]

I can honestly say I never saw a helicopter taxiing before. I didn't know they ever had to.

[@joshuacorrington153]

Hover checks would be the real term for it . If it had skids, it be 3 feet in the air.. but with wheels, it can check the controls on the ground before take off..

[@joshuacorrington153]

SOP for any Helicopter is taxi/hover checks before each and every flight, and take off from a hover , preferably from a designated area (IE runway). The Take offs you probably are referring to is a MPT, or Maximum Power Takeoff. That's when they take off directly from the ground after startup (IE every helicopter in every TV show or Movie) the only instance a helicopter does that in real life and not Hollywood, is when its in a tight space, Wooded area in combat zone, or a rooftop heliport (during an emergency). But heliports usually provide enough space to do in place hover checks.. ask any pilot about an MPT, and he'll tell you where to stick your question.. if he don't smack you first...

[@samanli-tw3id]

Joshua Corrington So helicopters take off vertically only in limited spaces?

@Ervin Thompson - nope; the clot in the pilot's seat doesn't understand that an 1,823 in³ (29.88 litre) engine does NOT respond well when you try to start it as though it was a Honda Civic. Instructions to pilot: "When the handbook says 'rich mixture to start', it means LOADS of gas, not a teaspoonful, dimwit!"
