- Alouette III Helicopter
Support Wings Over the Rockies → wingsmuseum.org/give
Built from 1961 to 1985, the Alouette III (which is French for “Skylark”) served Flight for Life for 20 years. It first attracted the attention of Flight For Life founders during the 1968 Winter Olympics when the Alouette was used as an ambulance high in the French Alps. It had a relatively roomy cabin, carrying up to 5 people with medical equipment, and it had great performance in hot weather at high altitude... perfect for the Rocky Mountains.
The Alouette at Wings Over the Rockies was originally used by the Irish Air Corps. A flight nurse for Flight For Life spearheaded the effort to obtain the worn-out airframe and restore it to represent one of the original Flight For Life helicopters.

Did a very good Stirling job in the Rhodesian bush war and the south African air force in the Angolan bush war
My father was evacuated in Cabinda, Angola in 1967 in on of those. Portuguese AF workhorse for 60 years.
A Little Trivia. This very Helicopter was in service with the Irish Airforce. ("Air Corps") After been retired, it was shipped to the USA and repainted and fitted out as shown today.
Irish aircorp used them from mid 60,s till 2007 for everything from troop deployment to SAR.Flew in them on occasion.Rugged old workhorse but very noisy.One airframe was written off and donated to a museum.(pilot error).The aircorp still retain one and the others were sold.
Anyone else think it is really pretty, not sure why, but I find the curved design very stylish.
I love allouetteIII helicópter!!! A classic helicópter !!
BEAUTIFUL machine. I saw one of these depart the Disneyland Hotel back in the late 70s. It was LOUD!!!!!!
Love this helicopter! I cleared all my initial AME licence exams on this lovely machine.
Chuck is doing great! Thank you for the videos.
What a beauty!
Alouette 3 had quite an impressive combat service in Rhodesia and south Africa as well.
The accent is close to perfect !
Thanks for this introduction, and walk-around.
Not the most beautiful helicopter, but as a french, I'm proud Alouette had such a glorious career, and saved so many lives !
Love the little digression at the end of the video,
ENCORE !
And still in use in the French Navy and many other country
the rhodesian alouette gunships are legendary. too bad u dont have one to do a video on it.
Merci de rendre hommage à l'Alouette 3! Votre musée à l'air passionnant et j'espère pouvoir le visiter un jour! Bravo pour votre travail.
Chuck, nice job running down this amazing bird. Was a dream to get to fly on as a paramedic based here in Colorado in the 80's. I love the sound of the Alouette III.
Turbo-shaft engines are used in helicopters not only for better performance at altitude but to reduce the susceptibility to sand ingestion which quickly damages piston engines (and can run on diesel in an emergency)
The french navy used Alouette III in their carriers for SAR missions until 2016. But they still use for other purposes for at least another 7 years of service (It will be replaced by the Guépard in 2028).
Nice to see french aircrafts
I must say: your French accent is excellent (both sung and spoken) ;-) I'd like to add two things:
- the word 'aviation' itself is French (and appears to have been invented in 1863 for some towed gliding device),
- the fact that these engines get their names from peaks from the Pyrénées has to be linked to the location of the factory, which sits in the South Western France, close to the Pyrénées mountains. Of course, the idea of altitude shouldn't be discarded, but the highest peaks of France are located in the Alps. There could be more to it, and I would happily get corrected, of course.
Cheers from France, and congrats on the nice Béret (incidentally, especially typical from the place where those turbine engines are made).
Merci pour cess explications sur ce magnifique appareil :p
I love the more serious and technical tone of the new curator! Really good work! I'll keep watching Mr. Bruchette on the Flight Museum, because I like his funny style also... after all, the more aircraft museum videos, the better! =)
Thank you for this tribute to this great machine
Those seats look super comfy compared to older Huey seats I'm use to seeing. That couch for the flight nurses is plush! Also, need to work on that focus. The helicopter was in focus in most shots but the host was not!
Thanks! Greetings from Chile South America
Thank You . i like the singing too
Très bonne machine. Encore en service, notamment dans la marine nationale en France. Très bonne conception, fiable et solide, l'alouette III est un excellent elicoptere qui a rendu de grand service civil et militaire dans le monde entier.
Even in Switzerland, Ski slopes.
Still see the Rocky Mountain Helicopters logo on the upholstery I worked for them quite a while.
Hey Chuck the alouette 3 was a beast
Flew in these configured as gunships during the Angolan war, an incredible aircraft.
Thank you
Aviation and aeronautic also come from the French ;)
Awesome video
Thnx Sir for these joyful briefing on the alouette chopper n its my favourite forever n i want to know if u can make a video of this alouette flying during special events will b very pleased
Nice narration 😍
if anyone has played the game Mercenaries 2 world in flame a heli based from this was added too the game.... its a old game in fact released in 2008 but one of my fav games of all time and this heli is in the game
The biggest dream of my life is to visit an aviation museum in the United States, because I am strangely in love with this nation and its planes, since I was a child I have this strong desire, but more unfortunately I am so poor that I never even got near a plane, but I am rich in faith and I know that Jesus Christ can make my dreams come true, congratulations on the channel.
Great presentation but the Turbomeca Artouste was first run in 1947. The Astazou ran for the first time in 1957 and was used starting May 29, 1961. The Artouste came first.
Good video; only complaint is in the cockpit section of the video you completely failed to mention the collective which is a vital control surface for any helicopter after all.
What a remarkably concise explanation of a complex device. I am just now watching "Gold", a film based on the historical Bre X scandal, starring Matthew McConaughey. In history, lead geologist Micael de Guzman somehow "falls out" of an Alouette chopper's "open back door". Was he clumsy or.. ?
Was a Brazilian who invented the plane
Santos Dumont. Live with that...
No offense to the current host, but will Mr. Burchette be returning?
He's with the museum of flight, Seattle
I sure hope not.
@@jfo738 czcams.com/video/Dz7pHIBGGn4/video.html,
There you go
Thanks for all .....😃
The predecessor of the Astazou was the Artouste, not the other way ;-) The later 319 had a stronger engine than the Artouste, namely Astazou XIV-B (14B) with 870hp.
You neglected to talk about the collective pitch lever & how it controls the amount of lift produced by the main rotor blades.
*gunship Calypso intensifies*
Santos Dumont rocks!!
I prefere the uh-1 huey helicopter insted the alloutte becuase the huey can carry lots of injured troops or supplies
True that the Huey can carry more men. Yet the Huey and Alouette are in different classes. The Alouette 3 was based on the Alouette 2, which was a 2 seater. That is why the A 3 can only carry 3 men. Meanwhile the Huey was designed as a troop carrier from get go.
By the size you can't compare an F-16 with an F-15 can you!
so why this comparison?
@@clouetjp769 That is my point too. exactly what you said: that these 2 helicopters are different in seize by design. So @jtsucksatroblox8378 can not compare the 2 helicopters.
indian army still uses thses helicopters
What happened to the other dude?
Matthew moved to the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle. It's an upward move imo.
@@TheElnots ah too bad for Wings he was great, but glad for him. Im just glad someone who seems equally as enthusiastic has taken over this. Wings, the tank museum and the Royal Tyrell museum have the best CZcams museum channels
yeah
@@pjbth don't forget the Bovington tank museum, their channel is unmatched
FWIW: I did not know the words _"aileron"_ and _"pitot"_ were French.
Hahahhaaa… We learn every day!
The word aviation is French as well. Pitot is the name of a scientist (Henri Pitot), whereas 'aileron' is a common noun (we use it for the fins of a fish, and some uneducated people use it to describe spoilers...)
I heard Alouette helicopters had jet engines. Is this true?
Correct.
Where is Matt,I didn’t see him in the last couple of videos.
it is a AS 316B? or a AS 319B?
Where is Matthew?

Aérospatial >>> Airbus eurocopter
The whole history is a bit longer. Sud ouest aviation and sud est aviation (not entirely surely about that part from the top of my head) --› Sud Aviation. This is why the alouette II and III, produced by what will later become Aérospatiale, bear the model numbers SA 313/318 and 316/319.
