Wow! Another great content! Like others have mentioned, I loved your squeals of delight and your facial expressions. I'm a retired police officer, and I had a lot of experience working with "Air Life" the helicopter ambulance that lands near accident scenes, and takes critically injured patients to trauma centers. Those pilots are amazing to watch them take off and land in so many challenging situations. I always thought how fun it would be to learn to fly a "chopper". I'm excited for you.

You did great Kay. Ironically smaller helicopters like the R22 and R44 are harder to fly than bigger helicopters because they are very sensitive to wind and cyclic movements. The larger helicopters are much smoother and less "jumpy".

Hey Kay, you had a DEATH GRIP on the controls! The R44 flies with just 2 Fingers, it's so sensitive, but TONS of fun !

Probably the best "first flight" helicopter video I've seen, and I've watched a bunch..My son in law is a CFI-2 and flies the R44 and Bell 206, He promises me he's going to teach me, but it is quite expensive even with the family discount!

Kay, you restore my faith in our youth; and you must have the finest parents because they raised an amazing young woman.

Kay, this video Reminds me of how your passenger looked like when you ladies flew together not too long ago! She had never been in a small aircraft before and was making different facial expressions throughout the video. That’s exactly what you’re doing in this video with the helicopter!! It’s just too funny how all of us can get overwhelmed and surprised when we are introduced to new things. You look really happy being up there, hopefully you’ll pursue this dream as well! Hats off to the Doctor for the awesome introduction for you and sharing his knowledge and helicopter! Have a great weekend!!

Kay, I love your attention to procedure. I noticed that the instructor didn't do this particular thing, but you did, and I really liked it: whenever you each transferred control, you would say "Your control" or "my control". Very cool, and very professional. Great video!!

Kay! Your background music is very tasteful added! Not overbearing! Fits the video perfectly! You're a master!!

Kay, I have no flying knowledge whatsoever but listening to Scott explain the principles of flying a helicopter to you made it seem super easy, I was amazed how tiny movements of the controls can make a huge impact especially compared to watching you fly your airplane when it seems like there, larger movements on the yoke and the plane is barely reacting at all. Thanks for sharing. Scott seems like a super cool guy .

Awesome video, Kay!!! A lot of information to intake. Thanks for allowing us to fly along.

What a great instructor and great student 💜

[vannrollins]

Great video, I was a crew chief on a UH-1 for nine years - really miss the low slow flying- nothing like it.

[mekkler]

Brings back so many memories of training in a Schweitzer 300. Your next step is to try a gyroplane, all the worst aspects of an airplane and a helicopter.

[MistressValkress]

What's beautiful about this is that it's two people who just loving flying! Kay - I've flown a Gazelle Helicopter so I know how scary it can be in a Helicopter. You did REALLY well!!! I just love watching you fly as you are so passionate about what you do! Lots of Love - Gemma x

[paulguthrie]

The professionalism while maintaining a light fun atmosphere is amazing!!

[OntarioAndrews]

This was awesome!
Terrific instructor is Scott and of course, great student which is you. :)
Thanks for posting/sharing with us. Enjoy!

Helicopters: in hover if moving forward then tilt back BUT then re-level right as you reach zero, if sideslipping left then bank right BUT then re-level as you reach zero speed. akin to balancing a marble on a basketball. In a hover: Every corrective move requires a counter move back to level with perfect timing. Good luck on your quest!

[mrbill]

It looks like Kay and Jimmy are going to become chopper pilots !!! Can't wait !!

[JohnWLewis]

Very interesting. Scott is an excellent instructor.

[malcolmwhite]

and unlike many people that post on these sort of channels for attention this lady is actually focused on learning, listening to the instructor and flying the aircraft, rather than looking at the camera and trying to look cute!
