Trent! It was fantastic to finally meet you in person! As always, fantastic video!!!

[@TrentonPalmer]

Nice meeting you as well!

[@fixnflykai]

I knew this collab would happen at some point and I'm very happy it did

[@Fatalimit]

i'm shocked it took so long

[@frostyfrost4094]

Thanks guys such a wonderful act of team work

[@stinsonAV8]

Yeah man

[@nbrowser]

One thing I've noticed about Mr.Sparks...you give him any sort of chance to do something fun with his toys or his connections and he's all for it! Also he's just a decent guy with a great team of people to help with things like this, awesome collab Trent, well done!

[@DWBurns]

Thank you for caring enough to clean it up, that speaks highly of your personal integrity. Dave Sparks is also a man who possesses great person integrity, all y’all are a tremendous asset to aviation, lifted trucks and in general just having fun. The time has come for Dave, the Patey boys to get together and build a bush plane that uses Diesel either in cylinders or burner cans and have Dave fly at High Sierra. Think of it, Dave adds the crazy, the Patey’s bring crazy to life, those of us in the east get to watch. It’s a win/win. I might even fly myself out there to watch that.

[@kitfoxflyer1978]

Awesome video! Love the collaboration with HeavyD. Now you need to collab with Matt's Off Road Recovery the next time he forgets keys at his shop.

[@JCtheMusicMan_]

Nothing like seeing a crossover episode with two of your favorite vloggers! 💜

[@travisk5589]

I saw that Chinook land at placerville Airport on its way back from this lift

[@JoeBeaudry]

HeavyD is EVERYWHERE. Love all the collabs going on, especially with "smaller" channels like this one.

[@charlesmartin1121]

"Smaller" is a relative concept. Well except for a Planck Length. That shit is the smallest.

[@Cowracer67]

I'm hip that he is everywhere. He has given away $10,000 to like 50 of my friends on facebook. lol

[@MZ-bl6wg]

He’s a genius! Helping other channels big and small do great things , good things not just stunts, gaining thousands and thousands of subs each time he does and it’s massively helps those channels, especially smaller ones get exposed to huge audiences showing what amazing content these smaller channels have. He’s also got VERY involved in search and rescue, of missing persons , people who get lost and stuck on vehicles, recovering vehicles,boats and aircraft off federal and state land, bottoms of lakes etc, usually doing it for free. This is generating a massive number of supporters /subs who like to support do good Chanel’s with amazing content. He said a bit back he was changing his business plan and focussing his channel on recoveries to help others, recoveries that seem impossible & doing colabs with other channels . He can use his huge sun count to do things & colabs thst might be hard otherwise, like the Cleetus McFarland, Whistlin Didsel, that underwater search and rescue channel, off-road racing companies, track racing organizations,, like his winter cabin series, invites KZbin’s biggest influencers for a week at a utah cabin with every snow vehicle possible , flies them in his UH-60 Blackhawk there, gets into shensnagins with them and these huge channels like Logan Paul, Cleetus McFarland , Roman Atwood, extreme sports legends vlog the adventure and he gains hundreds of thousands of subs. And then gets invited to their events and colabs on their Chanel’s. He’s a truly good dude too helping smaller channels and and non KZbinrs on serious need of help . He’s been ALL over the news too helping search for big national missing persons cases; Dylan Rounds, the teen girl in Tahoe, the remains of that horriffic murdering husbands wife and children in utah , some of which are still missing, (Dylan & the woman’s remains, he found the elderly couple in that national search for them in their RV finding them using his helicopter in Nevada mountains got them rescued then went out and recovered their stuck RV in z Nevada got it back to them. He organized the recovery of that utah private pilot and aircraft in central utah. He’s been all over the news doing these at no cost , just volunteering his equipment , employees time , helicopters, fuel etc to help others and it’s burnt noticed all over. His new business model is paying off massively but also allowing him to do more and more helping other people in need of his resources. Some say his growth from it is Karma, some say just the results of a genius business plan but I personally believe he’s being blessed by God for using his platform success for good, the more good he does with this axing opportunity, the more he’s blessed to help even more people. On a smaller scale, Matt’s Off-road recoveries blowup, he recovers people snd vehicles for free and is sblr to do free recoveries because of his KZbin. Channels success & couldn’t have happened to a better family! I Love seeing good KZbinrs that help others get the viewers and thanks thru deserve. It’s a great business model on KZbin more should do. I mean actually doing good with their platforms.

[@flyingeden]

Trent palmer might not have a million subscribers but he's one of the biggest names in the aviation community ☺️

[@JoeBeaudry]

@@flyingeden definitely! That’s why I put “smaller” in quotes… his channel isn’t millions strong, but he’s a big name for sure. I’ve been a subscriber for years. I am working on my license because of his channel. I have a onewheel because of his channel. And I’m close to pulling the trigger on a SurRon because of his channel! Love watching all the adventures Trent and crew go on.

[@evilbrat5376]

Was a fun video - Trent Palmer & Heavy D on a recovery. The main feature was "The CHINOOK CHOPPER!" That was a beast. Rotak did it up right for these guys on this. Three thumbs up for these people.

[@R1Kyle]

I think I loved fast rope insertions out of the back of a chinook the most.

[@BeckiandChris]

HAHA the horn making its debut! Glad y’all were able to retrieve the wreckage and looked super fun.

[@TrentonPalmer]

The horn is too much fun!

[@mennobros]

I love the content Trent, hope ours gets as good as yours one day

[@beetlebailey]

Now go over and watch his video on the Heavy D sparks channel!!

[@theshiv303]

Trent is one of the people that I've seen that deserves this level of help. Kudos to everyone.

[@GlensHangar]

Just before Christmas a couple Chinooks landed at CYOO (where I'm based) the rotor wash was crazy! I was a pretty good distance away and felt like my 172 was going flip over.

[@jonathanmartin7471]

It was fun helping you guys and thanks for letting us use the raptor. I might “need” to get one now.

[@montreysmitherman7466]

Dave sparks is a awesome dude, and that's the coolest way to move that juke

[@Levi_Allen]

What an absolute bummer, that was wrapped up in the most epic of style! Love how the internet gets people connected

[@papawheelie5835]

Too cool! A new definition for the phrase, "friends in high places!"

[@ZGDX_Smiling_]

The best recovery is to move forward. Moving forward can only lead to another great decision in life.

[@nathanwatkins5252]

I love it when these random KZbin universes collide and make awesome things happen

[@terrytomlinson8772]

Tough situation but What Fun with the Recovery

[@saratogapilot6100]

Excellent! Just got the PA32 out of the avionics shop; waiting for more snow to melt at Stead before trying to taxi around the airport to get to a runway.

[@tonyfletcher2541]

Great effort with HeavyD! Still can't get over that horn! AWESOME!

[@AGPullen]

One of the coolest collabs so far this year. Love your channel Trent and love Heavy D! Would be cool to see you two do more together in the future!

[@davidmeek8017]

Aloha; irony is that I just watched a video of a Rotak Chinook taking off from an airport in B.C. on it's way to Idaho. Well done to all! And yes, the follow up tidying up is of interest. Mahalo

[@mcitservices5234]

Amazing team-up! No one was hurt and that is the greatest thing. Things can be replaced, but people can not. Safe flying and keep the grind up. Thank you.

[@slam854]

That was so CLEAN. Good to have friends. That had to have cost a bunch of $$$$$$$$$$. Glad to see this behind you and Kevin.

[@tsipantziGMAIL]

Very cool!!!! Both of my sons are Army Blackhawk pilots with one of them transitioning to the Chinook over the next few months, so I love seeing helicopters in action.

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Both - Amazing 👍

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Great to see the two channels collab on something. Chinooks are really awesome helicopters. I was lucky enough when I was in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets (sort of like your ROTC in the US), and flew a few times in Chinooks. They are *loud* inside! And one of their capabilities they practice, they showed off tous one time...flying over a frozen river *below the tree tops* and full speed! It is pretty wild to look UP at the top of the trees out of the aircraft's windows! Then they did something even better. They had everyone get back in their seats and strap in. Once everyone had done so, *and they checked!*, they opened the rear cargo doors! We were maybe ten to twenty feet above the frozen river, and following all the curves and overthink like Trend does when he follows a valley, except 10-20 feet off the ground! Exciting for us...but something they train at for combat situations.

[@ronboe6325]

When you put a plan together, you don't mess around! Sure, over kill, but done in style. Full marks.

[@rasmussenmortuary8771]

Fighting fire back in the day I worked under chinooks. Rotor wash is tremendous

[@makingtechsense126]

I gotta say, I was expecting HeavyD to get it out. I did not expect a Chinook! Really cool to see the aviation community coming together on this one.

[@cbshomebizplane]

That was really cool I was a crew chief and flight engineer on the Chinook helicopter I miss it very much. I haven't left anything on here in a long time but love watching your videos Trent.

[@Petriefied0246]

Two of my favourite channels doing a colab! I love it! Will Trent do something with Matt's Off-road Recovery now! ❤️

[@jackbelk8527]

Have Robby Layton re-paint the kitfox.

[@Petriefied0246]

@@jackbelk8527 exactly right!

[@wegrei9645]

Reminds me on my recovery of a crashed BK117 off 12000ft at 11deg Celsius in Taiwan. Were using a Chinook as well. A friend of mine flew it, I have been the load master in the cabin at this time. This aircraft is just a beast 👍👍👍👍👍

[@natebell5026]

Honestly haven’t been keeping up with this saga, but Rotak is one of my favorite companies to see on the fireline and Trent is one of my favorite aviation KZbinrs so this was pretty epic. I haven’t watched much of heavyd but I might just have to tune in. Epic stuff, thanks!

[@BenKickert]

Absolutely love the A-Star B3. They are the sportscar of the light helicopter world.

[@frankkirby5763]

Heavy D you are a very good person. People love you and your people. Trent you are amazing. Best wishes and blessings to all.

[@nigelappleton2963]

COOL. Fantastic. I love the way two such different KZbin channels came together to solve a problem. More please, though you don’t need to blow up some guys truck and trailer next time!

[@colinwallace5286]

Mind-boggling that it flies at all, let alone with 12-13 tons hanging below it. I heard a joke about how a helicopter is a collection of moving parts doing their best to escape. That’s a pretty amazing bit of teamwork all around, and we all got to come along for the ride. 😬😎 PS- The horn is a definite win!!🤣

[@Cowracer67]

Not only does the Chinook fly, but its the fastest helo in the US or NATO inventory.

[@davidmathay7117]

Well, there is a running joke. "If it doesn't leak, it's not a Sikorsky. Or you're out of fluids."

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Lol helicopters scare me. I’m always amazed watching how insanely far planes and keys can glide under no power , so controlled and calm usually making it to a field or airport. The KZbin compulsions are wild. The 18 minute video of an F-16 that has an engine fire over Nebraska with 3 other F16’s he stayed so calm with a FIRE then puts it out and glides for a good 15 minutes making an airport !??? I didn’t know heavy fighter jets glided so well too especially the Viper. Tho heavy D says they’re safe, youtube compilations and news stories about civilian and military helicopters crash landing doesn’t seem like they have the control and time of a jet . KZbinr CW LeMoine a retired F-18 & F/16 US Air z force then Navy fighter pilot just got his helicopter license & said he loves flying helicopters because of the “challenge” 😮 he says flying a modern 4th generation fighter jet is much easier thsan flying a helicopter!!! US fighter pilots who also became instructors snd advisary enemy air instructors are some of the smartest , mentally capable people in our military , so if he’s saying it’s hard to fly helicopters, I’m assuming very! So not super confident in helicopters I went on a fly/ride along with a UHP helicopter crew , (my brother w is a cop that now is the one lowered by winch in search and rescue , he was the first on scene at Ken Blocks recent snowmobile accident /death (RIP Ken)) so I got to sit left seat to a pilot with a bad ass white curled mustache he’s had since the Gulf War flying AH-64 Apaches. Already nervous and without a current call he flew west to the farm fields and asked if I wanted to experience a simulated RPG attack on our helicopter. Once in a lifetime for me I said yes and he climbed on elevation and then said “smoke at 3 ‘ o’clock dumped the note down and to the fight , felt bertvle my stomache in my throat . Nearing an alfalfa field he pulled up hard till we were pointed at the sky rolling right s d leveling off. I think I must have looked terrified caus he started laughing and asked if I was ok .lol terrified but one of the coolest experiences of my life. As u said too many moving parts . Too many vital to flight parts and unfortunately our helicopters don’t have ejection seats and parachutes like Russian /Ukrainian military helicopters. I’d love to own and fly one but like I worry about my brother daily and having lost a close friend retired Kiowa light attack helicopter pilot in Afghanistan for US Army Aviation, survived 6 combat tours in the Spinghar mountains , 2 controlled crashed by AK accurate fire, he lost his life with 2 biologists in a routine , what he called low stress flight job compared to Combat recon, attack, overwatch, close air support , convoy escort role. I’d rather be in a plane with a good pilot that knows the protecalls in an emergency and has lots of glide time to react and glide to safety.

[@colinwallace5286]

@@Cowracer67 I didn’t know that. Must be quite a sight (and sound) roaring by at full speed. I seem to remember a documentary about logging and power line construction where they used a variant that looked “stripped down” to me. Those pilots are amazing.

[@GoldPicard]

I was the same until I started turning wrenches on helos and now I know helicopters on average are actually safer than fixed wings. But yeah the running joke in the helicopter world is that they don't fly so much as beat the air into submission and it lifts up the bird.

[@Mrsournotes]

Pretty cool to see the Chinook involved. What a beast! Job well done guys.

[@ryanwinter3984]

Ex Chinook Flight Engineer here and do I miss doing that stuff. Definitely the coolest job I ever had. It is so awesome that you guys were able to put this together, and glad to see that beautiful beast getting so much love. Thanks for the great content.

[@erlstone]

I was on a crew that built a ski lift.. we had to fly in and drop huge steel lift towers onto pre poured slabs, line up the bolts holes, unhook and bolt it up... and we did the slab pours from a bucket under the chopper... all at elevation (thin air).. fun stuff but dusty

[@TheRedbeardpirate]

I know you guys haven't talked about it much lately but I think this puts your team here at the top of the leader board for the "heavier out" campaign.

[@beeamazzzinghives]

I'm a subscriber to both of your and Dave's channels and was surprised but pleased to see both of you putting out videos today while working together. Hope to see more in the future!

[@JeremyWallaceSnackums]

Next on the list (hopefully never needed, but...) is a Trent Palmer, Heavy D, and Mike Patey (W/ Scrappy) for a haul out. Y'all together could clean up alot of crashes in remote places. Finding them, landing, assessing, then heavy lift in/out, landing portable power supply (electric or gas/situational), extended time on station during peak moments-hours at heightened danger periods of season or processes of de-construction/clean up. Seems there's probably a route that could be implemented, especially nowadays.

[@danblumel]

I've worked around heli's (Bell 214's Aerospatiale Lamas and many others) doing long-line work in the oil exploration industry in many difficult environments (seismic - drilling for explosives place in the ground and for the recording equipment). Mountains, swampy areas, jungle etc. Never touch an electrically conductive long line with the heli hovering overhead, until its on the ground (grounded) first. The static electricity those rotor blades generate is extreme. The static shock will knock you on your ass in an instant. Static voltages from 60,000 to over 200,000 have been measured from this. This Heli has dual sets of rotor blades so likely even worse. How do I know all of this ? No-one warned me, i made the mistake once and never forgot it. As soon as the cable lifts off the ground and your not holding it, keeping the heli grounded, the charge will build up again and it will nail you again. Do not let go once you are holding on until you are ready for the load to be taken away or let it touch the ground while you grab it.

[@AeroworksProductions]

Awesome work and footage guys!
