I received a few requests wanting to know the before and after of a hoist rescue with our unit. Here is a sample one to include pre-flight check, start up, the search, and hand off.
Awesome!! Thank you so much for uploading without music. These type of vids are very interesting. Would also be cool in the future if perhaps you did like a tour vid showing all the equipment and gear you guys carry in the helicopter. Also super neat to hear the Pilot mention the GTC.H by name
Hi thanks! In this rescue, we had some pretty good sun in our faces as we faced west, which the winds favored that direction. Where the victims were was in the shade in the trees below a clear visor helps see through the shadows better. Plus, our helicopter has a very soft, Lexan-type windshield and it was scratched recently when the windshield wipers were activated on a dry/semi-dry windscreen which caused these little scratches that when sunlight hits them, it magnifies and disburses the light in that area making it difficult to see through it, especially when the visor is tinted.
I’m in awe of the skills of the crew, they’re absolutely incredible! I’m also definitely enjoying these longer format videos!!
I like that you incorporated all the audio. Thank you!!!
Thank you!
My new favorite channel. Watching all the way from Ethiopia ET

You guys have red and blues on that tractor for the tug, does it have a steady burn red? 🤣
Great video!
Does anyone know, what kind of pants the guy is wearing at 0:30?
Surely you guys use thermals for spotting?!
Excellent work guys. Any reason not to use the tinted visor?
