Yes, we do love these epic rescues !

Another cool project rescued a while back in Sweden.... It is now in France in great company !
That bus was abandoned 8km from the nearest road and there were no other solution to pick it up, as the area is national park and all motorized vehicle a prohibited in the Area ! The bus is a 1952 Standard Microbus with a very cool history =)

Hippy dream of flying bus come true!)

[@SoilentGr33n]

Wow you can just lift them up by the window posts? Incredible!

[@pauladdison9978]

Great job but that's no way to lift a bus could you not put a strop on the other end.

[@rexluminus9867]

paul Addison Top frame could be damaged by now! Windows won't fit properly !

[@granskare]

more to be found in Finland.

[@twistingterrain7748]

I don't know why but seeing the van airlift out was hilarious

[@unmea69l8er]

I hope the chickens like their new home.

[@rockettcustoms6266]

Wow, rescued from a field then dropped into another field. Good job saving it.

[@rexluminus9867]

Rockett Customs Secret field operations .

[@CHGJack]

exactly my sentiments :D

[@lobsterthemobster2032]

Well they will lift it up and lay it on a trailer and move it out

[@kkdattasalalah]

VW would have never imagined it. That's respect.

[@MicBergsma]

haha that's awesome!

[@maxy2237]

FORTNITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@engulfaudioable]

Cheech and Chong would have loved to take that ride

[@cobra3289]

Seems like people dont know what these VWs are worth, you can easely spend $1000 on a helicopter on $100K worth of car

[@randomrandomness8743]

So this bus was 8km from the nearest road so must have flown there originally? Hmmm.

[@johnk4792]

Okay , i have seen everything now O_o

[@robertmuckle2985]

Lame lift...and couldn't even deposit square on trailer, because of such a DUMB harnessing job! Major fail all around👎

[@TheZenMicro]

How did he drop the harness? you cut the video just as he was rising again.. did he have a release mechanism... There was no one standing below (and he didn't attempt to place it on the trailer... again!) so did he have a release trigger thingy? I have to know :D

[@andrewwilson8317]

Tim Korving the helicopter has an hook called a SACRU, semi-automatic cargo release unit fitted to hard points in the belly. This allows either the guy on the ground or the helicopter crew to release the load. Sometimes the load gets a bad swing on and this can potentially risk the helicopter . In such a situation the crew can jettison the load. We were moving a big aircon unit to a rooftop that started to spin and swing badly and the oscillation started to risk the helicopter. The customers were not happy to see it smash down to the landing point but just one of the risks!

[@friendlypiranha774]

"so did he have a release trigger thingy? I have to know :D" Tim, that was the funniest comment I have seen on KZbin. You made my day. Thanks.

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Yeah, they tie a slip knot to an eye bolt in the floor of the helicopter, then run the end of the line through a side window into the cockpit where the pilot can give it a sharp tug in case he needs to disconnect the load. Of course, the pilot doesn't touch the rope until the load has first touched the ground, discharging its static charge built up during flight 🤣👍

[@normandofashione3767]

I love this video!! So happy you rescued another VW.

[@WhoWantsToKnow81]

Reminds me of that one James Bond movie scene where the used a magnet to drop a car in the river :D

[@gregzais9248]

Who knew VW's could fly!? Fun video. Thanks!

[@DemopVWgarage]

[@the_wazzek9936]

[@rightnow4523]

I wish I could be inside the bus during the flight

[@vdubclassics8381]

Pulling from the deep grass, well done!

[@sudharshanvinayak2148]

Lol, this reminds me of mater from cars!

[@rexluminus9867]

A VW worth it. Cheaper than a tow truck? Good job. 📻Radio sounds was lousy. Thanks.

[@plumerjr]

It was 7 Kilometers from the nearest road.

[@deniscamacho1818]

Bonjour ,vous faites du beau boulot. Mais j aimerai bien voir la resto fini

[@grzegorz16100]

[@rexluminus9867]

Gregory May Just for the divers.

[@ShnitzlHaus]

is it worth airlifting?you seem to be a fan of doing so. aside from the fact you can't get motorized vehicles in the national park. curious is all.

[@spannersautocomputerrepair7528]

YES - 1952 Bus worth a lot!

[@egalf]

100 000 just for the rusty pieces...restored a multiple of that.

[@KAMIKAZE-dk8xd]

+egalf hell no boi.... and plus 100,000 what? dont make shit up dude a rusted one isnt worth shit... its only when u restore it properly is when it'd be worth alot

[@rockettcustoms6266]

$100,000 huh? Must be some good drugs.

[@Sunaria-cj3kp]

[@witoldtomczyk3572]
