Mesa to Sedona by Helicopter, Part 5

Another video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

Join me and fellow helicopter pilot Dave as we fly from Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ (FFZ) to Sedona, AZ (SEZ) along the Salt and Verde Rivers and through the Verde River Valley. I’ve cut this hour+ flight into multiple parts, each highlighting a specific area of our flight. In this video, we begin just north of Jerome, AZ and head north toward the mouth of Sycamore Canyon before turning east and skirting the red rock cliffs en route to Sedona. We land at the helipad. This video has the most red rock footage on a perfect day. Along the way, you’ll hear our in-cockpit conversation about what we’re seeing.

Dave is an airline pilot who was working through his helicopter rating. At the time of this flight, he was a private helicopter pilot; he got his commercial helicopter rating a few weeks later. Dave and I split the cost of this flight; I flew to Sedona and he flew back.

Many, many thanks to channel members and Patreon patrons. It’s your membership dollars that made this flight in Arizona possible. I hope they enjoy their ad-free, 4K version of this video.

Landing a Helicopter on a Platform

From the Flying M Air Archives…

I just found this old video from July 2016! In it, you’ll see me landing my old helicopter on its platform on my driveway, shutting down, and dragging it into my garage. The footage was shot with a GoPro mounted on my deck. Not the best quality video, but something you might find interesting.

And I’m interested to see how many people comment about the bounce!

Another video from the Flying M Air YouTube Channel.

I’ve cut this hour+ flight into multiple parts, each highlighting a specific area of our flight. In this video, we begin at the southern end of the Verde Valley and fly past Camp Verde, Mingus Mountain, and the former ghost town of Jerome, AZ. You’ll also get to see the open pit copper mine that Jerome was built for. The video ends when we leave Jerome for the red rock cliffs of the western edge of Sedona. Along the way, you’ll hear our in-cockpit conversation about what we’re seeing.
