  • Vic from Base Leg Aviation discusses flight training in Florida with Alex Anduze. Then Vic talks about first flights in helicopters vs airplanes. Finally, he tells us he made 2 first flights today.
    Alex Anduze flies the original version of a Hummingbird a Sikorsky HO5S-1. It was tasked as an air rescue helicopter and if you notice in one of the the pictures, the passenger windshield opens so a stretcher could be placed in the helicopter. Alex flew the Sikorsky HO5S-1 in the recent movie "Devotion".

    Congratulations. Looks great. Interesting to see how much the rotor disc coned up.I assume that makes for a stable helicopter?

    Looks like you were a little nervous there. Lots of dancing around pitch wise.

      The wind was quite gusty (over 17). It was down the runway, but that's why I quit after 2. :)
