Great Job!

Excelente máquina. 👏

Maquina fantástica.

Nice Écureuils! Good video!

Hughes/Md500 series...the best ever! Great video! 😀My father worked with an MD500E (HA-MSJ) in the early 1990's (sightseeing, agriculture works) here in Hungary. I have flown with him many times when I was a child. That was awesome! Those yellow birds were wery fast and agile!

New Zealand Proud, a great bit of our history and there sure is a great sound that goes with it's ability

Excelente máquina. 👏

So.. Is mudslide season next?

very cool!

Love the paint scheme on those... would be very visible here in Canada...

excellent video!! 😎👍

Never gets boring

I'm glad there's some kiwis livin the dream 👍

Some fine machines and Pilots 😎😎👍

Awesome....that's gotta be the single largest gathering of 500's ever. And for sure the largest gathering of 500N's in one place.

Chrome exhaust is definitely a great idea... Brilliant

😍

1:58 woo

Nice upgrade

They won’t replace the md530f because i still see them

Water Power! Where's Mr. Hines?

Fantastic video and people -- this was a great watch.

Excellent review of the get-together

I'm building a single seat experimental that will behave quite similarly to an md500 with slightly higher power to weight. Would love to fly to NZ. Much respect from Aus.

I wish I could buy an AS350b3 / h125... That's such a sweet platform. After watching a promo video of one touching down on the summit of Mr Everest for 3+ mins, I said to myself, no wonder it's such a high-volume selling platform.

Love it!! it was interesting to see the 2 AStars, 1 with the new white striped t/r scheme and the other with the standard yellow tip stripes... i think i like the new scheme best.. 😎👍

Brilliant Ned!

I just watched a very early video from the 70's about venison harvesting there in NZ, they were using lots of Hillers and I was very curious why you guys picked Hillers over something like the Bell 47 which would've been a more popular machine in the 70's

Very nice!

Beautiful views: Wow, I didn't know how big wind turbines are 😮

RIP Bruce Andrews

Brilliant video, Cheers My cousin lost a few of these and other ones flying behing Crushington chasing deer, as he said to me, its a bugger when everything closes in , the deer can fit but the 500 couldn't unfortunatly

Excellent luxurious machine king of the sky

❤

Amazing video. Will forever be my favourite helicopter. Watching this makes me regret not sticking with flying... recognise some people and some regos.

Great Video! At what average speed is the spraying carried out and what width has the boom? How many acres does the spray tank last? thx

I believe this has been the best helicopter ever manufactured.

This man has single handily redesigned the modern definition of freedom 🫶

Blackhawk helicopters for sale？

is there a way to watch and mute thiss jackass play by play guy?

Living the dream!

I’m amazed that RC scale heli guys didn’t attend as well. So many beautiful large scale 500’s out there. Would’ve been a great opportunity to document one of these birds for a project build. Although, looks like I’ll be adding a Corona to my list of scale details 😊.

this is amazing flying!

great showcase!!! 👍😎

I guess this explains why I haven't seen the MD500 flying around in quite a while.

Nice. Could have done without the dumb music. Lets listen to the aircraft please

Fantastic video!

That's a B3 right? Isn't that a bit of overkill for what is needed? Cool machine though. Lots of power.

Thanks for sharing.

The father of 500s wasn't there
