Enjoyed your site. I found it to be well done. I flew helicopters UH1 - AH1G - OH6 with C Troop 2/17th Cav 101st Abn in Vietnam 69-70. Though I do not fly any more I am still very interested in helicopters and the aviation field.

Comments:
I like your page, it helps me a lot since I've been studying for my PPL on helicopters. Perhaps one day if I come to the United States I'll come visit you. If possible. Anyway, thank you and keep up the good work.

Each time i meet, read or hear about interesting people i feel good. And this doesn't happen so often. I work as an editor for the Greek Auto Motor und Sport, i race with bikes and cars and before that i was designing hot strip shows for my ex-wife who ha pens to be Europe's no 1 for 97 and 98. Anyway, one of the the very few things that i love and haven't done yet is learn to fly a helicopter and you been helpfull. Thanx alot.

Hi Glenn, I'm just a writer looking for information. Like, what is the body of the helicopter called? (on a plane there's the cabin and the cockpit - is it the same with a helicopter?) What sort of "door knob" is on the back door on the inside? (for ins ance, when men are going to parachute out what is the gizmo for sliding open the door?) When people are standing up in a helicopter are there straps or something to hold on to?

Comments:
Whereever I find Bell Jet Ranger, my heart beat increases and I go for that site. It's a lovely site you have and I've had fun browsing it.

Comments:
I have met people who were/are helicopter pilots. They told me there adventures, fears and achievements. I wish I were a pilot but I could not because in Malaysia you must have the necessary academic qualifications to be one. I did not have that. I thank ou for what you did. I will come back time and again to read and learn more about helicopters. Thanks.

Comments:
Your web. site is good.We need to Inform the mass public about the roter craft indst. I will check back at your site for new info.soon THANK You. Robert C.Bohannon

JUST STARTED EXPLORING YOUR WEB-SITE. FOR ENTERTAINMENT, I, USE MICROSOFT'S FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2000. WHILE, THEY GIVE INSTRUCTIONS AS HOW TO FLY THE BELL 206B JET/RANGER, I WANTED TO FIND A WEB-SITE, THAT OFFERED MORE INFORMATION AND IT LOOKS LIKE I FOUND I . THANKS, FOR KEEPING IT SIMPLE FOR DUMMIES LIKE ME.

REALLY INTERESTING PAGE!!!!! ACCURATE INFORMATION....AND ALSO VERY FUN. I´M FROM ARGENTINA. KEEP THIS PAGE IMPROVING!!

Comments:
Your site is great. I'm a student at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and I will be training for my commercial helicopter license soon. I've been researching helicopters for awhile but I haven't found any resources on the net until I came cross your site. I have never left comments on a web page before, but your site is exceptional. If you have any suggestions on for me as I begin the process to get my license please e-mail me. Thank you, Aaron Dion.

Comments:
You have a great site. Your information on the civilian helicopter industry and your experinces in both military and civilian worlds all help to give me a better insight to a carrer in the commercial helicopter industry. I am currently a student pilot in an diego and i am planning to go to SIERRA ACADEMY OF AERONAUTICS in oakland to pursue my degree in aviation science and earn my ATP-H.Once again, great site !

Hello, I enjoyed your web site. I learned that it is not so easy to get a job as a helicopter pilot after all. I am currently a student at Southern Illinois University, and i am in the Army ROTC program. Upon commisioning, I hope to be branched aviatio and subsequently a pilot for the US Army. I was wondering if you could give me any hints on bettering my chances of getting branched avaition. I have very good grades and am one of the top cadts in the program. any advise you could give would be great! Thanks and good luck with your flying career.

Comments:
Great site, there`s not enough sites for the helicopter pilot, fan on the web, keep up the good work. I`m digging thru my collection of photos, will scan a few and upload them to your site hopefully soon. Hey if five feet above the ground is cool, try 8ft above the water, I`ll find the photos and you decide. Have fun.

Comments:
This is an excellent website! I will definitely be back. Thanks for explaining how everything works on a Helicopter; I can now build my own two-passenger chopper. I appreciate your time and effort that you put into this website. Thanks Peter

Comments:
not too bad but I'm looking for emergency procedures help

very, very, interesting

Comments:
I use to repair UH1D for Lockheed after I came home. They had a contract to repair damage UH1D from Vietnam , I'm amazed at how much damage they would take and still make it home, they saved a lot of lives. I enjoyed working on them I learned a lot about elicopters,I really enjoyed your articles and cartoons thank! Bobbie

Comments:
iam trying too find infomation for a school project thankz

Comments:
Good job. This is an example of how internet can give room for those who are not super stars or super hero but just hero. That kind of people who have something to say to others but are not interesting enough for agents selling books or movies. We who are not lucky or dare to pursue such a career can at least get information about our dreams from first hand and from relatively ordinary people. It can give us more push or save us from total foolishness. We need more pages like this. Good luck to you and oth r everyday heroes.

Comments:
I am one of those hover impaired pilots. But with the proper therapy (training) maybe I can can overcome it. It is very difficult to fly helicopters on a limited budget.

Comments:
I was in the 82nd For about a year and a half as an RTO in a mortar platoon I made it to SPC before puttting in a flight school packet. So now here I am in Flight school (BCS, getting ready for nights), and so far the mission of the 58D hooked me (It'd be nicer if they had a better airframe, but they're working on it).

Comments:
Great site, been out of the military for awhile. I am still interested in the work that I did.

Comments:
I have 11,800 hrs. total time. 10,000 hrs flying helicopter in the Gulf of Mexico for oil companies, and I am also a fixed wing pilot. Retired 2 yrs. ago. Enjoyed your webpage. Great animation, I really enjoyed it.

I had also taught at a couple of helicopter schools(military and civil) and find your site refreshing. Great work!

Comments:
Absolutely great. I am hoping to join the Royal Australian Navy and fly super sea sprites. I can't wait to get up in the sky or even bobbing up and down in the middle of the sea. You are an inspiration to me. I just wish I get to have such a great flying areer. THANKS

Comments:
Really great site, with lots of information. I have been a member of the San Diego Mountain Rescue Team for 33 years and have flown, as a passenger, in all kinds of helicopters from Bell 47G-3-B's to UH 60's. The San Diego County Sheriff's fly MD 500's, hich I'm very familiar with, but I've also had experience with Bell 206's. I would estimate about 300 flights. I also instruct our team Helitac training every year and wrote the section in our training manual on helicopters. Your description of helicopter dynamics was very good, however I have one difference of opinion, which is based on a book on helicopters and on a talk by our local Coast Guard pilots to our team. In Section 5, when talking about translational lift, you said that "clean air" resulted from moving out from the rotor wash. My information is that, when a helicopter is hovering, it is pulling in air from above and forcing it down (rotor wash). This continued pulling in new air from above causes a partial v cuum above the aircraft, which must be continuously replenished by new air. The partial vacuum means that there is thinner (less dense) air being drawn to the rotor blades than the air outside the rotor disc, consequently the pilot must compensate by inc easing pitch or power, or both. By flying out of the rotor disc into "clean air" in translational mode, the rotors can bite denser air and the pilot can decrease power.
Is this right? I hope so, because I've been teaching it for years.
John Wehbring
San Diego Mountain Rescue Team

Editors Note: I think the confusion is in the term "partial vacuum". Air that is going through the rotor system is being forced down, and when it hits the ground, it is forced away from the aircraft. The air will recirculate back into the rotorsystem. (If you have ever seen a photo of a chopper hovering in a place where there is smoke, you will see the turbulent air recirculate through the system). This "ground effect" actually helps the helicopter fly at lower power than out of ground effect...because the rotor wash is being pushed against the ground. The air is not necessarily "Thinner", but there is a lower "Pressure" area over the top of the rotor system which is what I believe you are referring to.

Good page! I am currently a Warrior pilot at Ft Hood, Tx. Its nice to see someone saying somthing positive about the 58D. Take Care.

Comments:
Very informative site. I am a firefighter working for Oxfordshire Fire Service and and I have to prepare a lecture on Helicoptor crashes and our job/role when attending ie what we can do, what we can't do, what to look for, where fuel lines are, where we turn power off. I would be grateful if you could spare some time or perhaps point me in the right direction to find this information.

Comments:
I was recently considering taking lessons and making it a career. I found your comments about the industry extremely helpful in giving me an idea of what it would be like. Thank you

Comments:
Great job with the webpage.

I have a friend here in FL, that is involved with the VHPA. He primarily does colleges for all military branches. Through his college work he has made some impressive connections. We have a flying D modle huey here in FL that is out of the Firelands milit ry museum in Ohio. It caters to events here like just recently, the moving vietnam wall, by providing rides to the public. This was a dustoff aircraft in nam and was shot down in 1968 and refurbished by the museum. We have enjoyed 4 flights on this old wa bird. And are always anticipating future air time. Have taken some exelent video too.Would love to send you some pictures. Your sight is well conceived and very informitive.I enjoyed it throughly. Well Done. And as a vet, My friend and I salute you. Sincerely, Javal Llanes

I've ridden with the 174th Assault Helicopter Co. with the 11th LIB, Americal Div. in 1967-1969 at Duc Pho, VN in Quang Nghi. I am still interested (after all these years) in some images I still recall of some impressive flying manueveres I've seen these ilots perform when coming into a courtyard in Siagon, where I was later assigned. To this day, I still cannot imagine how some of these could be done. It was very impressive to watch some of these pilots flying in.

Great website. These old photos and manuals may interest you and your website compatriots. One of the items is a RARE PHOTO OF ONE OF THE FIRST TEST FLIGHTS OF HUEY COBRA PROTOTYPE !!!!! I know that I also have a pic of an old Bell flying over Niagra Falls. My friend flew helicopters in the Army in Vietnam and later worked for Bell Helicopters in the 1960s and 70s. He was cleaning out his attic and found a box full of old manuals and great News Release photos. He asked me sell the items on ebay, so be sure nd follow my auctions over the next few weeks (it may take a while to list everything).

i am currently learning to fly a hughes 300c.I have one lesson per week and love it ! it costs me £180 for 30mins airtime, quite expensive but worth every penny! any useful info please please fax me england, 01508482271. thanks!!!!

Comments:
I have always wanted to fly helicopters, its just very expensive. I took a lesson in R22 last year it was great, I loved it, but at $180 per hour pretty high. I was really considering a career as helicopter pilot but, with a family and home I just can ot afford it. After reading about your experiences and the section on becoming a helicopter pilot and what it takes, I'm having second thoughts. Someday I would like to get my private rotor wing license. I think this web site is great, very informative. br>

Comments:
Thanks for the link listing! It was a very nice gesture on your part! I really enjoyed browsing your site! It is very obvious that you have spent quite a bit of time developing and publishing your site! Congrats for a very nice job that is educational, informative and entertaining!

Your page has been very helpful. I would like to become a helicopter pilot someday but your page is helping me think about whether I should pursue that as a career or on the side for fun. Do you know of any jobs that I could get working around helicopte s to get exposure and experience that way? I would be willing to move anywhere.

I enjoyed reading your story. I just recently acquired my rotocraft private license, and am glad to hear the true story of how the industry favors more experienced and cheaper pilots. My goals on the other hand is to fly for pleasure only and leave the r al work to those able to make the sacrifice.

Comments:
excellent site, very informative, im in the process of getting accepted into flight school, and im very confident that everything will go well! any added info to give me you have my e-mail. chris

I met you flying your helicopter kite at Hefner Lake and really enjoyed talking to you. I was anxious about checking out your web site, you have done a very nice job with it. Thanks again and holler if you have and dental questions are anything else I could help with.

Editors Note: This is one of the nicest and smartest young men I have met in a long time. He has "The" right idea. He is going to Dental school at OU and is going to make a fine living for himself. He plans to either own, or be a partner in a small aircra t. I wish him all the best, and just talking to him for a few hours convinced me that he is one person who will do anything he sets his mind to. It is nice to know that people of his calibre still exist.

Dear Mr. Bloom, thanks for this page. I love helicopters from the bottom of my soul. Even I could not be a pilot I fly a Bell JetRanger III in Flight simulator 2000.

Nice page! I was a Huey driver with 101st in El Salvador and D. Shield/Storm. Had a great time and memories are good. Keep the greasy side down, Throttle, Fuel, Battery!
