I Learned How to SMOOTHLY Land a Helicopter With NO ENGINE!!! This is INSANE!!

1. My goal is to find an old clapped out MD Helicopter and rebuild it to something as good as new on the channel (with the right help) one day!!!

2. I LOVE this video!! As Army Blackhawk CrewChief Mechanics our pilots had us train Auto Rotation landings on the Simulators, just in case. That shit was hard, I did it though. To note Helicopter Engine failure can be dealt with if you have enough forward airspeed vs altitude to trade off. But it’s Transmission failure you definitely don’t want. Game over there.

3. It’s cool to see other people fall in love with rotor wing avaiation. As a helicopter gunner I had the opportunity to do so many badass things, see crazy things, and land in wild place. I was also able to be apart of saving peoples lives. Best job I ever had!

4. Registration “Fox Fox” on the machine in the intro………..

5. Welcome to the Arizona valley! 🌵

6. Very cool!

7. Seeing a helicopter sliding on the ground is just so amusing and idk why 😂

8. That's a mile from my house. Welcome to AZ!

9. This is absolutely amazing stuff

10. Derick asked how that looks with a few cold snacks under your belt.

11. 0347FF (FOR — FREEDOM FACTORY)!!??

12. NGL Cleetus almost seems more proficient at flying the Heli then the trainer

13. When the instructor said a test pilot dropped it from a 12ft hover with no damage, I was waiting for Cleetus to say "we're doing 13ft today Brother!"

14. Bro if you keep making aviation videos we’re all gonna be pilots in 5yrs

15. Very cool to see the MD content. My father worked on MD500 C and D venison recovery helicopters ( live capture and deer shot for venison and antlers) as a mechanic and later a pilot in the mid to late 1970s in New Zealand and I often went on test flights in the southern Alps as a kid in them . My father then moved us Australia where he flew Helicopter cattle mustering in MD 3OOC and Bell 47 choppers for 2000 hours before eventually moving on to Papua New Guinea . I followed him into aviation working as A&P mechanic ( Aicraft Maintenance Engineer in Australia) on light turbine helicopters including MD 500e models . The MR blade track and balance on those especially in the analogue era sorted the men from the boys.
    At end of my fathers career he returned to instructing in Australia and I was surprised to learn that school he flew for would have international pilots come them for full auto to the ground training as it was not often taught overseas .

16. As someone who appreciates knowledge I'll probably never need in my life, I love this video. Thank you for continuing to be the absolute best channel on YouTube! Keep up the great work!

17. I’ve been around aviation and cars my whole life, I love to see the training and the progression in both aspects.

18. I can’t be the only one to notice the American flag helicopter at 20:38. That has to be Cleetus’s right?

19. Great content. I hope to fly myself one day

20. I am sure they guys that own those planes in the background are just thrilled that they are playing that close

21. Suprised theres not suspension for emergency landing even if its designed crumple in the legs.

22. I love the flying contest. Keep it coming 😍

23. between you and Heavy D, yall have the best jobs. yall get to operate all the most awesome equipment. God i am so jealous.

33. Killin it

34. I think you have had good luck with auction and destroyed machines you bought in the past…..but this one machine has to be VERY NEW ….YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT UNTIL YOU PUT MODS(GUNS AND ADDING ASSAULT CREWS … HELICOPTERS FLY DIFFERENT WHEN THEY ARE LOADED….. A VERY FAMOUS NEWS AND TRAFFIC HELICOPTER PILOT ONCE SAID…. HE IS FROM ARIZONA AND HAS BEEN IN COMBAT AS WELL

35. Invite Bill Burr please, and keep the aviation content coming pleass.
    Fixed wing and rotary.

36. We did it Joe we did it

37. Look at all of us! From turbo whistles to learning how to fly helicopters lol we've all grown 💪

38. This is incredible! Is there anything Cleetus can’t do?!

39. Way cool, but why are you coming in around all those Planes? I wouldn't want any obstructions.

40. Auto rotation was awesome!!! Hahaha
