Exelente video, he aprendido mucho con el. Tienes un fan nuevo de tu pag desde Puero Rico.

Hey Bruce. Any plans for some new videos? Hope your enjoying your retirement from 3TV.😊

I was out on the flight line one day when a LOACH pilot waved over. It was a bit gusty and he was sitting there skid lite. Had to get close to hear him as I did not have my flight helmet. Being light like he was a gust caused a skid to lift a couple of inches and then it landed on my toes. At least he bought me a drink later after his mission. I surely did love those little birds.

I’m confused big beautiful doll crashed at an airshow in 2011 and this video was posted 10 years or less after, is this another P-51D painted with the big beautiful doll livery or was this video taken before the collision in 2011?

This mustang crashed in the UK in 2011. Totalled. What year was this?

I guess I'm a little disappointed that he did not choose to land on some soft dirt. There appeared to be lots dirt plenty long for that. He did a good job of keeping it straight. Again, I would have pulled the mixture back once I heard the gear doors scraping and stopped the prop rotation and saved the engine.

I am so glad that people saved these old karts. Scrappers take everything these days.

Please don't add fake sounds to videos like this. It just makes them worse. The repeated "metal crunching" sound that plays when the plane lands detracts from the quality of the video.

Sadly big beautiful doll ended up crashing after being clipped by a skyraider at a display.

Incidentally, i think i read somewhere that the P-51 was the first fighter with enough range to escort bombers all the way to Berlin and back, which raises the question- why weren't other fighters like the Spitfire and P-47s fitted with long range drop tanks so they could escort the bombers too?

This wasn't a CRASH landing but a CONTROLLED WHEELS UP LANDING

I would love to go through this type of training in the MD-500 ! Very expensive

Outstanding

HES SAFE AT THE PLATE!!!

I recognized that dot immediately! KFFZ on the Yankee 2, such a fun pattern to fly, especially when they’re using 4s and you get to drop low over that orchard.

Wonder how many tens of millions were pissed away on those brand new deliveries to Afghans?

Blimps will forever remind me of fictitious supervillains advertising their obvious evil plans.

An amazing book, I'm now reading it for the second time

😊

my dad was a chopper guy 1/9th idrang valley scout pilot

I remember watching Jerry rescue people during the floods!

Been trying to find the song for your intro because it just rocks on another level but i cant find it if someone coupd tell me one day please drop a comment on this also love the content on your vids have a great day and merry Christmas you beautiful people and keep flying!

The passion you two have is awesome ,thanks for sharing

This guys book is an excellent read .highly recommended

Hugh Mills - Vietnam scout pilot - wrote the book "Low Level Hell". I have the book, have read it twice. Great book, well written. Pretty damn exciting to see you, Hugh. You have put on a little weight since those days, but haven't we all. Did your buddy Rod Willis also make it back to the world?

I watched Dale Snodgrass gear up a p-51 here at st. Augustine 98,99 after Bobby Allison geared up his turbine Aerostar 😊😊

Great book.

Bruce haffner works for the news station.

The Mesa police helicopter gets on my nerves because of that buzzing sound that it makes when they're flying or circulating. The Phoenix police helicopter doesn't do that, makes those sounds when it's flying or circulating.

Bruce haffner did a good job on his story.

Fire bird,fox,air 5,falcon,ranger. I'm familiar with all those names. I hear them on the police scanner all the time.

Hugh Mills, him and his colleagues are some of my heroes, I've read Low Level Hell several times and still love it!!!❤😊

Low flying and slow flying aircraft are particularly vulnerable to ground fire. You can reach about that dating all the way back to Pearl Harbor. On that December 7, 1941 day, Japanese pilots flying low and slow to be able to drop torpedoes or strafe U.S. battleships were easily targeted by U.S. shipboard sailors manning 0.50 caliber heavy machine guns and 20mm cannons. A number of Japanese planes thus got shot down. Decades later the U.S. Army helicopter pilots find themselves in similar vulnerable situations over Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. From what I've read so far, the best thing for Army chopper pilots was to fly in fast, go low quick, maintain speed, shoot up the place and fly out as fast, being careful not to gain altitude too quick. Doing that slowed your aircraft and made you an easier target. Fly out fast, far away enough to be out of range of heavy machine gun fire, then gain altitude. Still, by the end of the American involvement in Vietnam at 1973, the U.S. Army lost a total of just over 3,000 helicopters of all types and models to all causes, combat loss and crashes. Almost 2,000 helicopter pilots lost their lives. This does not take into account those wounded who survived. That is why Fort Wolters back in central Texas had been churning out U.S. Army helicopter pilots (at the Primary Phase) as if on a manufacturing basis. Ambitious, adventurous young men between 18 and 21 years of age flocked to become Warrant Officers and helicopter pilots. Warrant officer pay, flight pay, and Vietnam combat pay all added up to a very good monthly income.

My dad was loach crew chief in Vietnam. Got the privilege to see the same exact helicopter that he was a crew of in Vietnam a few years ago at an air show. It was amazing to see!

I was looped up quite a few times.

This is amazing. I hope there are people that give veterans the chance to fly their old planes

i remember seeing these guys fly in northern I Corps. Man they had balls!!

I always thought that loch was a cool looking helicopter grew up in westchester California very close to Hughes aircraft factory use to see them testing the loch when they came off the assembly lines never paid much attention to them..than I was drafted in 1968 was a infantryman in the 25th infantry division saw the loches in Vietnam all the time…still today I see them flying around with our police department…one awesome looking little helicopter…

This book is really good! Anyone who loves helos should buy it!

That's my chopper, flew door gunner 68/69 with HHC 3rd Brigade 9th Infantry Division out of Tan An airfield. Here's to all those pilots that flew under call sign Merkin and helped me get out of there in one piece.

The bought 25 of the engines

Hugh has a book 8n the Squadron Shop "In Action " series...met himnin the early 80s when he spoke to our "Flight 19 IPMS chapter in Ft Lauderdale l....

Thank you for your service and flying a wonderful helicopter
