Very knowledgeable and passionate pilot. Love a JetRanger, it's a timeless classic.

Very very happy to see you Not doing a car review.
Thank you very much for the real reason that I watch you and your families videos, Helicopter Videos.

Great stuff. I learned to fly in the Jet Ranger (TH-57) and really loved the simplicity of the bird. Thanks for posting!

[chrisswift]

So great to see more helicopter content. Thanks

[daniellintern]

Great Video. Thank you Brad and Micah for sharing.

I flew above the tree tops kitimat to Vancouver on one of these. Amazing flight.

[BobABooey.]

Wow, that thing has been completely gone through and updated, very nice.

[beardown]

Hooray!!! Great to see some heli content again :)

Great video with a lot of very interesting info for a real helicopter lover. I can afford only RC helis, but love to fly them and the inspiration was coming from my passion for fullsize helis! Greetings from Poland!

Awesome video! The JetRanger was the first turbine ship I flew. Then I got into the Ls, now I'm in the 407, and I have most of my time in it. The 407 is leaps and bounds ahead of the 2 bladed Bell products. If you ever get the opportunity to fly one, you'll never look back 😂

[SkidsUpAviation]

Such a cool video! Hope to fly one someday.

Funny Micah mentioned Airwolf my buddy owns a blue bell 222 along with a 79 Long ranger(79LR) which he is trying to sell that are both hangared in those blue hangars on the west end of the Corona airport and he also owns a yellow Lamborghini Garrado. I’ve flown both but the 222 is a beast and a blast to fly but the L4 is a workhorse and super reliable helicopter.

[CrispyOkra]

Funny, just yesterday I was looking through your videos for helicopter videos I may have missed (I hadn't).

[denault]

The JetRanger looks almost new, I sure Brad's Lambo is stunning too!

[robertschaefer]

I heard you say you grew up in St. Louis. You're probably to young to remember (prior to 1993) when they had helicopter rides on the riverfront. I used to go a couple of times a year. They started with Bell 47J, then used a couple of JetRangers and a LongRanger. About 12 years ago they brought back helicopter rides using Robinsons.

Coolest flying thing, ever. Iconic, warhorse, (calling Col DuVal) EMT workhorse & Magnum PI....

[TheMooreYouKnow]

Shoutout Kirkwood Greentree Festival, last thing I expected to hear lol

[supertorque]

1979 206? I hoped to be brought back to my early days.... he didn't even need to tap on the N1 gauge.

[Donald-kyfg]

If anybody... needs a lamborghini it would be a pilot
This man is a pilot in my estimation.

[EtiRats]

That's a very smart looking 206! Would love to know how the hourly rate compares with his previous R44 in private operation. $100k for a set of blades and turbine overhaul costs mean big $$$s generally.
