Airbus EC130 Executive Helicopter Takeoff & Landing at Van Nuys Airport ...
I have a buddy that also films aircraft and his channel is - Ed Whisenant. He's good at getting unique stuff and travels all over to get it. Here is one of his captures of a H130 aka Airbus 130 Eurocopter. Ohio uses these for MedFlights as do many other areas. Check out and subscribe to his channel!
Boeing Apache AH-64 Helicopter Start-up HD
Such an awesome machine and platform. Did you know the Apache can control it's own UAV? Indeed, they can send it out ahead for target acquisition and know where the enemy is before they even arrive on scene to decimate them. Ah the things we come up with!

Peter McNees got back in the saddle of the helicopter after a few years!
My wife went to Ohio and I was left to do whatever I do...so since my original flight school departed for another state I found a new one in Moscow Mills Missouri. It was a great flight school and we went up for 1.10 on a windy and semi-stormy day to fly. We had the doors off and it was fun dodging the rains showers but we never got wet. It was strange to take off from a hangar in a field in uncontrolled airspace and cruise around. We did some zero airspeed autos which was cool, the horn blaring the entire ride down, and did a few approaches and hover practice. It is like riding a bike by the end of the flight it felt comfortable again. I miss it so but I will be back for sure! We flew the R22 and I know how everyone seems to mock the Robinson helicopter family but I love them. This school also has a JetRanger, a Bell 47, as well as two Schweizer 269's. I hope to eventually get in to all of them. We shall see!
Here is the video from that great day! Back when I started flight training I didn't have money for the action cameras they have out today but now I have TWO! So stay tuned as I hope to get more footage of more flights!
