Golden Gate Division: Patrolling San Francisco by Helicopter

[@jeeberlewis7352]

As an aspiring guard pilot with the eventual goal/dream of flying CHP…this is the exact fuel I needed to keep pushing forward. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@Verticalmagmedia]

Good luck!

I wish as a foreigner I could fly for U.S law enforcement.. That job looks amazing.

[@robertmurphy4573]

Best job in the whole entire world. Respect.

[@BrandonV6002]

Theses guys are amazing people I use to work with them and maintain there fix wing and helicopters , I all ways loved my job and working with these guys 💯

[@rwjolley]

That was fantastic! If there ever was a “CHiPs” reboot on television, it should focus on the work of the California Highway Patrol air operations. These folks have the coolest job.

[@NilesGimp]

Splendid!!

I really want to see the Sonoma County sheriff helicopter Henry one on this KZbin page. They are right up the road from CHP Golden Gate air ops and they work closely with chp

[@Verticalmagmedia]

Stay tuned... 👀

New sub, would like to see this as well as a resident and a aspiring heli pilot.

I saw them up close when I was “in” HS. They rescued me off the big rock on China Beach. We were cutting school, getting high. Tide came up. Got our info, I asked if they were going to call my parents. “No, just for the report”. Haha. My dad “Where were you today!” …. Me, “School…”. Him. “Oh really…. Why did the Sheriff call me and tell me he was going to charge me 1972.00 to rescue you off a rack at the beach?” 😂. He was pissed SRPD. Assholes. Sebastopol PD. Cool. Sonoma Sheriff Dept. 100% Respect. Thank you guys!

The dude that pilots it is bad ass. Idk if it’s the same guy but I heard they volunteer and aren’t necessarily a sheriff but a citizen pilot that was sworn in because they’re good at flying. I always notice Henry when he flies over

Incredible video Lloyd. Keep up the fantastic work.👍🚁

Thanks Jack!

I'd love to be a crew member on one of these aircraft. I was a helicopter crew chief in the Army and really miss it.

[@RCCopterLove]

Beautiful footage and a great description of a job that seems to be one of the best for every helicopter pilot!

[@Verticalmagmedia]

Thank you!

[@solomonramakorwane5666]

This video…nicely done 👌

[@Verticalmagmedia]

Glad you liked it!

[@dontmindmanny3363]

Hey I helped build those helicopters nice to see them on the job. 😊

[@Verticalmagmedia]

That is awesome!

[@cutlass6332]

Great video, very interesting viewing.

[@beachboy0910]

Great video!

[@Verticalmagmedia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

NorCal and SoCal are like two different states. You never see CHP birds regularly working in SoCal. Everything I see is the county sheriff.

[@spwb2k]

Worthy.

[@trollpro30]

4:15 I just googled it. It says the hottest it get on average is 71. That’s adorable. You guys would melt in 80 degrees. Thats actually embarrassing. Not a pilot, but I feel any helicopter would still be extremely happy in 90 degree days.

[@jsmithin916]

They fly out of Napa but the area they serve huge. There is plenty of areas within the Golden Gate division that reaches over 100 degrees regularly in the summertime.

[@rayb.6537]

Thanks for the expert arrogant comment.

[@brainycheddar]

It's easy to have a 60 degree temperature swing flying 15 minutes from base to SF. While SF may be 64, the surrounding areas may be 112. You can always spot the tourists because they'll be shivering in shorts and an overpriced, tacky, souvenir sweater because it was hot where they were driving from.

Based video

[@fiskit]

certainly looks like they eat well

[@johnpabst8690]

Always some jackass with a stupid comment.

[@08jk74x]

Too bad the democRats turned SF to a craphole.
