US Coast Guard MH-65D Dolphin Startup and Takeoff 17Dec20

A cold and wintry Thursday afternoon finds a MH-65D Dolphin helicopter from U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles, WA out of its normal habitat as it made a layover at Tri-Cities Airport (KTRI). The Dolphin was refueled while the crew took a break. They soon departed to continue their journey westward to Nashville International Airport (BNA).

Just a awesome helicopter, I've always loved this thing, and it sounds so amazing.

[@AEROWEPHILE]

I concur on all your points. Cheers!

[@Marder1A1]

i see it nearly every day, the fenestron gives it such a unique sound

[@74babyblue]

My favorite looking helicopter the MH-65D. What a beautiful flying machine.

[@AEROWEPHILE]

Agreed! You just don’t see them very often in East TN. Cheers!

[@killed_by_the_architect-829]

Absolutely love this Helo. Love the short nose version better and the old red and white paint scheme but still this is such an awesome looking helicopter. I even have a really nice diecast scale model of it. Wanted to to become a pilot in real life so I could fly it but just didn't have the guts to really go for it. Dream job will have to remain a dream.

[@therealmwalker1]

Such a beautiful ship.

[@FredtheDorfDorfman1985]

I miss the loud Fenestron. I don’t know why all Dauphin’s/Dolphin’s had to be equipped with the newer asymmetrically spaced bladed “quiet” Fenestron. That’s great and fine for the EC-135, but Dauphin fans loved its original sound. As if the original design’s sound was so bothersome. People just love to have something to complain about. Now Airbus is developing the Blue Edge shaped blades and Fenestron’s will barely make noise at all.

[@GOAE7777]

Amazing, they improved upon something and you're complaining about it. You don't see the irony of you saying "people just love to have something to complain about"? What are you, a cave man? Only loud things are good?

[@pelto7706]

french really knows how to create beautfiul machines.

[@fd009597]

When i was EMT got to fly several times as Extra provider Even Done CPR in Back 20 minutes from scene to Trauma Center and Was able to pass off Compressions love the Dauphin

[@thesenate4040]

[@Junce23]

[@heathermetz6576]

Just so cool!

[@jamesleopard8518]

I used to see the U.S. Coast Guard the helicopter 🚁 land in the back school yard during career day back when I was in first grade and third grade

[@angusyoung7668]

I just love the sound that the fenestron gives of a awesome sound this is my favorite helicopter and the one I’d want to fly as well as the EC-145 and Bell 407 but the dolphin is the one

[@AEROWEPHILE]

Those helicopters with the fenestron in the tail all have a unique sound. And the Dolphin is by far one of the more beautiful helicopter designs out there. Cheers!

Damn that thing starts up fast

Such a nice looking helicopter. If I ever have over $1 trillion I'd start my own search and rescue station hire some pilots and some mechanics to maintain a fleet of MH-65s. If I have a good reason why I'd say it is because it would benefit a lot of people. Police officers and EMTs alike. The way I figure, I felt it would also help out a lot.

[@GrumpyOldMan9]

Wonderful French helicopter. Vive La France!

[@rayyanadeel7895]

I’m going 🎉 I love you guys and I will miss seeing all you all

[@goldbeed6202]

[@robertbeane8792]

Cool video! I was stationed at Coast Guard Base S.W. Harbor Maine 1988-1990 and would train with the guys from air station at Cape Cod…we did a few SAR missions with them and I qualified with man overboard and hoist from stern…

[@AEROWEPHILE]

Thank you for your service Robert. Appreciate you sharing your experiences. Cheers!

[@mattdaddy_888]

They sound kinda like a backpack blower lol

[@Marder1A1]

i always thought it sounded like a vacuum cleaner but it does sound like a leafblower more lol

[@jetfueljp4]

The fenestron tail rotor is the noisy part

[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

France invented the first modern helicopter, the Alouette II, the first helicopter with a turbine! then there was the Alouette III, Gazelle ( blue thunder ) and Ecureuil, the Puma and super puma, the Dauphin, and many other very beautiful machines like the H160! the Squirrel (Squirrel or ASTAR) is one of the best-selling turbine helicopters in the world, more than 5000 sold (civil aircraft) obviously, the best-selling brand is robinson with its R22, R44 and R66!

[@reedusangels3655]

Hey that sounds like medflight the little rescue helicopter start up the flyover sound also sounds like medflight helicopter flyover

[@slapshot121212]

It’s the fennestron (tail rotor)

[@geoffreybalmaceda2100]

Hey guys can we give one for the north luzon coast guard in the phillipines?

[@vinaymulukutla358]

I don’t like how they used them in the helicopter crash scene in I Am Legend.

[@dragoslavtauzovic452]

Is it me, or does the private jet in the background look like it has no landing gear? :)

[@AEROWEPHILE]

Don't tell anyone, but they are working on a hovering jet similar to the Star Wars Landspeeder. Looks like they are pretty close to making it work! ;P Cheers!
