When you are in deep dark fiordland New Zealand for a 14 day stint working...that is the best sound on this earth

The short skids were the original, the high skids are slightly stronger on the inside and allow better clearance off the ground for off airport landings. The main reason for the left seat, is so the original company Hughes, could claim seating for five passengers in its advertisements, 3 in the front, one squeezed into a center jump seat kit, and 2 in the back compartment. They also did this when they marketed their piston helicopter the 300. My first lessons were in the left hand seat in the 300. The instructor would have me friction the collective, then move my left hand to the cyclic, then with my right hand use the radio on the instrument panel, then reverse that to normal.

I have that one both VCR recording and DVD. The 500 can be flown from either seat, primarily as the fuel tank is evenly across the floor of back cabin, for weight and balance purposes, would though depend on which collective has the starter button though. In many of those old films, the editor either by accident, or the director wanted the audience to see the action moving in a certain direction, so the film segment was spliced in backwards thinking the audience wouldn't notice.

my dream helicopter, I will own and fly one like this in the very near future.

A real pilots machine the MD stands for McDonnell Douglas but they had nothing to do with the design and development of this aircraft, it is a Hugh's helicopter born and bred.

Tree trimming? the blades don't even look LOL. Cool clip.

Nice video of the Hughes MD-500E model.
The "Buzzard" ones used in the Rockstar GTA IV & V are the Hughes OH-6 Cayuse

[realethanangell]

There’s also the MH-6 Little Bird helicopter..

[CyberSystemOverload]

This is how the GTA buzzard needs to sound. They got its sound wrong in the game. It doesn't sound like a Huey, more like a buzzsaw coz of the fast and small main rotor!

[E_B_C_OG]

The buzzard is more based on the AH-6J Little Bird

[chasehutchison]

the buzzard is more of the real life equivalent to a little bird

[hdaviator]

Why did the pilots get out and then shut off the engine? Seems like a somewhat dangerous thing to do.

[jose_sw]

Ese estoy volando ahora en gta 5, llevo 53 horas con el buzzard, creo que para empezar no es malo

[tomcat]

I see flight and refueling safety issues here. not safe.

[stevansweeney]

Always wondered, why are some 500's on short landing legs and some on longer legs, as is this one? Anyone know? Thank you!

Очень опасно подходить близко к вертолёту при посадке и взлёте ! / It is very dangerous to get close to the helicopter during landing and takeoff !💀!!
