9:00 Funny, Not Funny Jimmy
I would wear a parachute if i were to get that tiny helicopter to 14,000 just to be on the safe side.
Cool... Hey Jimmy. What do you think about unauthorized towers erected near airports that have IFR approaches?.... I guess your new boyfriend "gyro-crashen 1/million can" think its fine and dandy.....How about you bub?
I knew you would buy one after you flew this one before the race.
It's gonna be AWESOME!!
I’m glad this ended up with someone who appreciates it. Nothing against JH, but I can’t picture him enjoying this as much as you will. 😎
Neither did jh. That's why he took the 100k
Not to mention JH exceeds the weight limit of the chopper!!
Jimmy I don't know where your funds are coming from but I have to laugh, every time I see one of your vids it's like " Well I just bought" I'm like man, I'm still buying medium fries instead of large fries, what the hell did I do wrong in life? lol
Hint, he has a high end printer and the right kind of paper in his basement.
I think he is putting himself deep into debt trying to establish a channel that is making money. Just throwing everything at a wall hoping something will stick. He needs 20 times more subs and he is trying to find a way to get them. Maybe it will work out before collections starts calling him.
@@i.r.wayright1457 ..Hahaha
@@adamr9215 yep, blank checks and a pen that has a lot of ink LOL
Hahahaha
Hey Jimmy. I’m retired State Police Pilot. I flew A Star, Twin Star, and EC135’s. Ironically I took my check ride for rotor and commercial rating in this Schweitzer!! Great little helicopter. Loved it with doors off. After seeing numerous crashes with the Robinson’s, I’m glad I flew the Schweitzer. Wish I could afford one. Good luck with it.
I started training as an Army aviator in the TH-55 in 1978. It was known as the "Matel Messerschmitt" to one and all. Good choice for a trainer, you'll love it.
makes two of us. I thought for sure I'd wash out after trying to hover for the first time. Manual throttle in those, can't tell you how many times I hit the overspeed (george) on approaches and would be looking out the side door on approach
Airplanes fly, helicopters just beat the air into submission.
Airplanes want to fly and will do it with or without a pilot. A helicopter hates to fly and is constantly fighting to get back to the ground.
Helicopters are Witch Craft Sorcerey 😂
which proves that helo pilots truly are pilots, whereas the fixed wing pilots are merely "steering" a vessel 😄
@@PTSix-eg4zj Good point!
Welcome to the Rotor World Jimmy! I did my Commercial Rotor Wing Helicopter Add-On in an S300CB a couple years ago. So much fun!
Wow! How exciting!! I was in aircraft maintenance in the Army. AH-1 Cobra Attack Helicopters. I was accepted to flight school, and the pilots in my unit were training me before leaving for flight school. I was learning to fly and hover from the front seat of an attack helicopter. I was having a lot of fun and didn't have to pay to play! Lol!!! The sad part is I was injured and never made it to flight school. I definitely miss being around helicopters. Be careful and be smart, and I am looking forward to seeing your progress and the videos coming up. If you are ever around Wilmington, Ohio, feel free to stop by and say hi! God bless and blue skies.
Don’t forget that a beautiful float equipped Hughes Schweizer adorned the helipad aboard Jacques Cousteau’s Calypso !
Whoa! That’s awesome!
Coincidentally, I live on & look after an ex German Navy Minesweeper in Cape Town. It was used for the 2016 movie L Odyssey on the life of Costeau. On Thursday, I pulled out a file of photos, left behind by the film crew, to show my neighbour. The photos were used for 'set dressing' which show the Calypso in period in various itterations, one of which has the helicopter on the helipad on the bow & another, where it is stowed on the upper deck.
I grew up watching "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" All episodes are here on CZcams. Great series.
I remember Jacques Cousteau and his exploration ship the Calypso with such love and appreciation. Cousteau was a legendary man, a super hero if you will. He took us to the far corners of the world teaching us to love and appreciate this great orb we live on. I'm pretty sure he invented modern scuba gear known as the aqua lung. those were the days of my youth when all the world offered was magical, well before I matured and the people in charge became super villains. God bless Donald Trump
@@johnypitman2368 Amen. Trump is the voice of reason in a world gone insane.
I dont care what anyone says, the most Iconic Helo ever made is the Bell UH1 Iroquois with the T53 Lycoming turboshaft turbine engine aka The Huey. When you think Helicopter 🚁 you think Huey. These now vintage Birds saved thousands of American lives in their day. 🇺🇲🙏🏼
I flew in a Huey in Cape Town S.A. a few years ago on a wine tasting trip of all things.
Actually I think of the OH58A Kiowa aka Bell Jet Ranger. Next up is the Bell 47. Then comes the UH1. 😛
@@monkeybarmonkeyman The 58's in Nam were used for scouting missions and they sucked. I was glad when we were reissued our OH-6's. I have what's left of one of the 58's I flew in on my second tour. My loh is now in the US Army Aviation Museum at Mother Rucker. It used to be at the main entrance of the museum on a 12 ft stick. They sent me a picture of it, and they have my scout scarf all framed up and hanging inside I think on the main floor. I still have all the correspondence to go along with that.
@@gotchagoing4905 I only chose the 58 over the Loach cause of course, I just adored the civ Bell Ranger 🙂 The OH-6 would be the preferred ship for combat (of those two). Rucker is a great place and congrats on that aircraft making it to a prominent position!
@@monkeybarmonkeyman LOL, you just like the 'power steering' the 58's have ;}> My ship, '962' is also embroidered on my scout scarf that they wanted, and of course I sent it to them asap.
962 and I were a damn good team. I'd like to make it over to Alabama to see my old girl one last time, but I don't think my wife and I would stand up to a cross country trip anymore. But it makes me feel good to know she,(962) will be looked after long after I'm gone.
Congratulations Jimmy on your chopper purchase, You know Cleetus wouldn’t have nothing but the best, Enjoy your videos from central Fl.
Rarely do you surprise me Jimmy, yet you've done it once again. Can't wait to go along with you on your helicopter adventure!
I grew up outside Ft Rucker, AL. I remember going outside and watching 15 to 20 of the little Osage trainers flying at any given time. We called them Skeeters!
😮 Cletus can break a 2" ball bearing with a rubber mallet.
I like the airport that he bought in Florida.
Good luck with your helicopter. Learn to fly it and start finding old barn finds.
What could possibly go wrong?
Jimmy! I knew this would happen! I am very excited for you as this seems like a logical next step for your life. Be blessed and fly safe!
Sweet, somehow I knew you would end up with it. LOVE IT. MY DREAM.
As an old former flight crew in helicopters , I can say that you will have a ball learning to fly this bird. Just remember no heavy hands . I started out on a Sikorsky UH-34 D over in Vietnam , and ended up with the Ch- 46 F , state side in the USMC . Uncle Sam’s miss guided children.. Semper Fi , fly boy. Stay safe , have fun .
Hi and, yes I trained in the TH55 in 1981 at Ft Rucker. I loved it. “George” took a bit getting used to especially in stiff winds. Get 50 hrs before transitioning to the UH-1. Enjoy it.. off airport work is a blast. Landing in confined areas and on pinnacles. Good stuff!
Seeing you two together!?? AWesome! I've got to move to Florida. You folks are having too much fun! NJ weather sucks!
try July or August
So does North Dakota weather !
@@ousley421 hurricane season is fun too...
@@ORRadtech Especially when it will dwindle down the northerner population (hopefully) lol!
I K R
I looked at a hiller years back, but it was pretty rough, and the money didn’t work out.
Jimmy’s bird is a lot nicer to service, and the ROI is very good.
Have fun!
I was stoked to see you and Cleetus Monday afternoon. I was the idiot waving outside the airports fence taking photos. Thanks for doing what you do keep it up!
Oh, so, you finally got the helicopter! Congrats! Your new challenge will be exciting for us, too. Looking forward to watch your training report videos.
Well done Jimmy. Be great to follow your training and experiences! Greetings from the UK!
So how goes negotiating for a hanger on Cletus’s new airport?
Best Buy Jimmy I got my chopper license in a Hughs 300 in the late 90’s, I’m 6’ 6” and heavy and it had no problems we have two tanks here in Australia so more than enough power. We do autos to the ground in training here it’s awesome, you’ll love it .
You guys really know how to have fun. Definitely in my top handful of CZcams channels!! 🤟🏽😎
This is awesome, Jimmy! I'm really looking forward to seeing you learn to fly and taking it up solo. Also, don't change the wrap!
I like how Cleetus just shows up everywhere.
Should be interesting...
One of the funniest things I ever saw, was the scene in "Bat 21" where Danny Glover's crew chief is remembering / telling Glover how to fly a helicopter
Loved flying that in Primary at Fort Rucker, AL. 88-11 Grey Flight...
Flew it at Ft Wolters, TX in 1970. So much fun…the perfect primary helicopter
Ive seen your plane in person. The one that was at the evergreen air and space museum in oregon, was with my grandpa who unfortunately passed away recently when i last saw it. Beautiful plane.
Mornin Jimmy!!!
Have a great day, everybody!!!😊
Congratulating on your success and this purchase
Love your channel!!! It’s great to see you Hooked up with Clete!! My two favorite channels!! Thanks you guys your antics keep an old man smiling!!
I'm glad it wasent click Bait glad to see the giraffe and he'll ya brother congrats on the heli
Did my initial training on the Schweizer 300, then onto the MD500D. Great machine ... articulated rotor head, very safe and very manoeuvrable. Not a ton of disc energy so auto-rotations are, um, exciting (less so than the 500 though).
I watch both of you guys all the time and I'm glad that you got it from Garrett!
I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU WOULD FIND A WAY TO OWN THAT BABY!! After you being all over it at Cleets place, it was just a matter of time before you figured it out, so happy for you mate!! Go and get that licence!
Thanks for the helicopter video I commented a couple years back asking you to do a helicopter video and you finally got one done and you have done a great job!! Keep up the great work! Love the content hope and pray you are doing well!
When I saw you at the freedom 500 and JH said hed take the cash, I knew youd be eyeing up that heli..lol
This is so exciting to see as my wife & I are currently learning how to fly helicopters too!! Can't wait to see your journey Jimmy!!
The Hughes 269 engineering works started in September 1955 under the guidance of the chief-project Fred C. Strible.
Jimmy your videos always put a smile on my face ... 🇬🇧
GOOD JOB JImmy im glad you got it ,hope you keep it
Nice going Jimmy! Congrats!!
That's a great video Jimmy. I like the history, after all, if you don't know where you've been - how do you know where you are going! !! !!!
I flew 300's in the late 70s'. Love them to death. The little switch on the joystick about where you can reach it with your pinky is the landing light. The switch for trim left or right is probably to select which side the top hat on the stick controls the trim as the newer 300s can be piloted from either side, I didn't have that one but my guess is as good as anybodies until you actually try it. The trigger is the radio transmit button. The little switch next to the trim button is not something I had but I'll assume it's like all the unmarked levers in a crane. Give it a yank and see what it does, if you don't like it, put it back. There is an auxiliary fuel tank available that will almost double your range. If you just fly with one buddy the second tank is great. If you need to fly with 2 passengers you might not want it. It is pretty easy to put it on and take it off though. Your going to love flying choppers, every flight is an adventure as you are generally low. Pay special attention to where the towers and power lines are on the charts and keep an eye out for them always. Get yout rated and go follow a river at tree top level or race a boat across a lake. Whoot! helicopters are the most fun you can have with your pants on. You can do a lot of "things" and still be safe in a copter.
Helicopter licence next? If you ask him nicely, you could borrow Heavy D Sparks Blackhawk for a day out with the family
Jimmy you’re awesome! King of the nerds and a godly man!
Your gonna Love going back too School on your New HeloFlapter!!! It's Fun, Pretty Sure you are Already Giddy and Ready! Have Big Ol Fun Jimmy!!!
That's awesome!! Glad somebody with that passion ended up with it!! Maybe one day when I'm ready to get my license I can rent it from you for a small fee!! lol
Heck yeah man.
Ha Jimmy, my flight class, 88-12 was the last Army Flight Class to fly the Th55. We were the "Orange Pterodactyl's, last of a dying breed". Flying helicopters is the best thing you can do with your cloths on. Do t worry about learning how to Hover. It will take 5-10 hour. Don't worry it will come. Good luck.
They say, "Once you can hoover, the flying part is easy."
LOL at the Patey reference. You guys have no idea how you two and the Pateys are among some of my favorite channels. It's beyond cool that the love of aviation has brought you guys together. I hope you get the best instruction possible for your rating.
Ok Jimmy boy! You got me hooked, again!😂
Can’t wait for this!👍🇺🇸🏴
Thank you for the video Jimmy.
I’m glad Jimmy bought Garret’s helicopter!
Jimmy, I love your new helicopter! Please be careful, brother!
I think you need Pastor Jim to give the low down on Helicopter operations FAR's........
This is a nice addition to the channel . And anything cleetus touches turns to gold
Man great to see the little buzzer in great hands! What a nice machine! Cleetus is an awesome down too Earth guy
Jimmy's Whirlybirds - a whole new adventure! Being out of your comfort zone is a good place to be, that's how you know you're still alive... 😉 Looking forward to seeing how you get on.
Always keep the love of flying going !!!
Nice one Jimmy, I only have the RC- version.. have fun! Looking forward to see you getting your license on that as well!
Jimmy you have more irons in the fire than at spring roundup on the King Ranch. What I’m saying is don’t get distracted, and stay safe as you learn to fly is a completely different way.
This. brings back many memories approximately 60 to 70 years ago. My dad and his partner purchased a Hughes helicopter that looked just like this one I later took my first plane lessons in it
I have wanted a helicopter since I first saw one when I was a tiny tot. That was a looong time ago! Cograts on your cool purchase.
Chuck Street started his career flying as a radio traffic reporter in the LA area in a Hughes 300. He then transitioned to a Bell Jetranger.
You two are my favorites!
Congrats on your new toy!!!
A great little helo you have there, as many before was also the first helicopter back in ‘77, then Huey, Blackhawks, Mil17’s, Chinook’s -look forward to watching as you enter the rotor world!
Love it Jimmy!! Great content to watch. Keep it up👍👍
Fling wings vs fixed wings. Now you have both.
Super Cool Jimmy!
In 1965, I was at Ft Wolters TX, Too tall for the TH-55, so I got to learn to fly the Hiller OH-23 D instead. The students over 6" tall could not easily fit into the Hughes cockpit, mainly lack of rudder travel for taller people.
Yes that was my primary trainer in 1974. Good little bird.
Glad to see that you bought it Jimmy and keeping it home in our area and in good hands
Best and SAFEST training helicopter. Ive owned and operated 2 of these. Perfect!
I c a n n o t wait gotta see more Jimmy. I wish and hope for great blue skies for you. Amazing days and times. Onward 🌈 for more great adventures and prosperity. Rick in Illinois.
Awesome and outstanding.
Nice, that was the first type of helicopter I flew when I started training, a perfect first helicopter, unfortunately I ran out of money after 5 hours of training, hope you enjoy it, they are fun machines.
Hey Jimmy, learned to fly the TH-55 way back in 1983 at Ft. Rucker, Al. Did my first solo at Hooper stage field just outside base in Ozark. You are gonna love flying that little bugger!!!
Mate you never cease to amaze me, Well done and can’t wait till you start buzzing around in it 🇦🇺 🚁
Congrats! Love the 47 and the Loach, but this looks like a great bird to fly.
I learned to fly helos in a R-22 Robinson and eventually moved up to a Bell 206 and then I learned to fly a privately owned Huey. my parents gave me flying lessons when I was 14 yo fixed wing and choppers when I was 16. I have flown the 300's and they are a great trainer and you will have a blast.
Jimmy your the man!!!
Congrats. Be Safe. I rode in one back in the 80's out in So Cal on a sightseeing ride.
glad to see it staying on the tube
What is a 300CB? According to wikipedia, the _"300CB is the first pure production of the 300 by Schweizer and is powered by a Textron Lycoming HO-360-C1A, 180 hp engine. The 300CB first flew on 28 May 1993, and was certified by the FAA in August 1995. The 300CB can be reconfigured from a two-seat cockpit to a three-seat configuration. While it is still suited for utility and special missions, this aircraft was designed for helicopter training"_ .
awesome Jimmy
Jimmy, your desire to achieve things goes beyond yourself. Congratulations. Take care and be safe.
Jimmy please don't die! I enjoy your videos too much and would miss you.
God bless you Jim 🙏
May you succeed in all your financial endeavours
When I first got to Ft Rucker in the 80's they were like giant mosquitoes flying everywhere. I remember the Army sold them in lots of four for like $16K with the idea that you get one good one and three for parts.
It only makes sense that you fly it to the “ Bald Eagle Air Field “ only with proper permission and clearance of course lol
As you have been informed helicopters are MUCH harder to fly. Get a good instructor and pay attention. You cannot relax in a small helicopter they will Bite you hard. I speak as a retired CFI Helicopter with over 17000 hours. We talked at SNF. Have fun BTW I was an Instructor at Ft Rucker for over 30 years.
And the U.S. Army “released” their fledgling helicopter aviators at approximately 210 hours of training. Many solo approaches to confined areas, landings to pinnacles, landing to slopes, operations at high density altitudes, formation flights, instrument ratings, emergency procedures including engine failure (autorotations), tail rotor failure, hydraulic failure (UH-1) and tactical operations (large unit formation flight). When this sort of training is completed successfully the Army pinned wings on chests and was fairly confident that the aviator did not present too great a risk to himself or others and released him to units where he would be a FNG and continue his education. I am not a misogynist there were no women aviators in my day.
Border patrol across from my warehouse has a portable landing pad remote control. Also, a gooseneck trailer landing pad for a chopper just like yours.
Jimmy, you''re gonna have FUN with this one 🙂
I was just growing through videos.And I saw this helicopter and recognized it from the freedom five hundred. I'm a long time cleetus fan. So i watched this video and subscribed to your channel . Keep on flyin brother 🏁🇺🇲
So cool to see you with Garrett
I’m excited for you. Fun fun fun.
much Respect Jimmy jist be careful "it'll be Fine"
