Kind of a cool project I just did in north western AZ last week. This person cross country traveled to the top of a archilogical sensitive mountain area and was told it was not going to be driven out, nor towed out. So that’s we’re i come in and take it apart and fly it down with a Huey. 0900 the morning of the pick operation you could hear the distinctive thwop of the rotors about 6 miles out, and to my amazement when in near proximity that sound goes away, but it’s got one heck of a rotor wash compared to the Bell Jetranger we usually use to do these projects. Oh, and I got a ride down the mountain in it
and in the fuselage it’s also quieter than the Jetranger. We could talk with out com headsets. Sorry for some low-res, haven't uploaded GoPro yet. Last pic is the Huey's first roll after being demilitarized in 1996 as a North Carolina Highway Patrol air unit. Enjoy!
