Hiller Helicopter Flight

Another cockpit POV video from the Flying M Air YouTube channel.

Join me and my friend Captain Michael Tragarz for a flight in his Hiller Helicopter. We lift off from his home at a Phoenix area airpark, head north west, and then turn to the south for a flight around part of South Mountain. I narrate part of the flight but most of it is just the sound of this classic helicopter as it flies low level over the Arizona desert.

Bell 206B III JetRanger Startup

Another “extras” video from the Flying M Air YouTube channel.

Join JetRanger pilot CJ for a narrated startup of his Bell 206B III JetRanger. After a quick introduction, CJ hops into the cockpit and runs through the startup process while I try to keep up with my video camera. The sound is quite loud once the engine is running, but you can hear CJ pretty well and get a good idea of how this helicopter starts.

Helicopter Flight around Grand Coulee Dam

Another cockpit POV video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

Join me and a client for a flight up the north end of Banks Lake to the Grand Coulee Dam and back. To protect the privacy of my client, I cut out the in-cockpit audio and replaced it with a voiceover narration that talks about points of interest.

Helicopter Flight: Nick Over the Rocks, Part 6

Another video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

COME FLY WITH ME as I take Central Washington University geology professor and star of “Nick on the Rocks” (and “Nick at Home”) Nick Zentner on a helicopter tour of the Columbia River Valley downriver from Wenatchee, WA. This is the sixth part of our second flight together and we start just upriver from Vantage, WA and head south along the river over Wanapum Dam, along the north face of Saddle Mountain, over the Walluke slope, and then through the Gap in the mountain just north of Mattawa. The nosecam footage is stunning and Nick points out many geological features along the way. This is part 6 of a multi-part series.

Note: In Parts, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and beyond of this video, you’ll hear Nick and I talking about unreliable video cameras. That’s because of the camera failure I had on my first flight with Nick, which you can see for yourself in Part 2.

Places mentioned in this video:

  • Vantage
  • Saddle Mountain
  • Walluke Slope
