Foreign YouTube Channel Oh dude. Oh there it is. What the heck? that thing? Yeah no Tar baby. No tail rotors.
nice and quiet boys. We're about to do some awesome random stuff with a helicopter. so say so. This is a big boy notar that want to include the other day with no tail rotor single engine.
This is two big engines. This is the MD 900 Explorer You got to be careful locking up these ones. Get the blades grouped. Ah, watch how low the blades get once it shuts off.
Burrito Factory Just doubled in value. All right there it is. Playing soccer, landed, whole place. Now we're the double.
Oh yeah, there they go. Way down. look at that group. Isn't that wild? Yeah, it is all right.
So this is actually a MD 902. All right we gotta introduce everybody. Man Dan Yep, all right. thank you brother Police operator We got Dan on the Hoist today.
What's going on? What up brother? we got another Dan Yes sir. So you're gonna be flying today, huh? Oh yeah. all right I Gotta tell everyone this random story. So yesterday I'm out front.
this gigantic helicopter flies over and then I gave him the signal to land because that's what I do whenever I see a cool helicopter he lands. We end up talking for a little bit and now here you are. back here today. Yeah man, and we're just gonna make a cool random video.
They've been pulling uh, boats out of mangroves from the hurricane last year and how's that been going? really? well. Actually, the folks down there are really appreciative that we're clearing debris and everything. Yeah, it's trash times. Let's talk about Brim Aviation Can you give us a quick Lowdown Uh, Brim? Aviation We do primarily Powerline utility and maintenance, but we do pretty much everything that you could think of.
the whole boats out of mangroves. Yes, we do firefighting, kind of a all-in-one Stop Shop Yep, got everything under the sun with a helicopter. Oh yeah, so brim Aviation if you got a fire, if you need a big block swapped out of your car, apparently we're going to be setting, uh, new heights for Brim Aviation today. So big thanks to them for helping make this happen because this is totally on a whim and Dan was kind enough to fly down here too.
Can you tell us a little bit about the Md-900 Because we definitely don't know anything. This is an Md-902 Uh, it's the largest aircraft MD makes. Yeah, it's a twin engine aircraft, no car. The no tar.
I Can get in depth about that, but pretty much the magic happens. We gotta know tar videos. The people are up to speed on no tar. They make two variants.
they make the Md-900 and then this is the the newer version, the MD 902. So it's upgrading. Yes sir, Is that the air intake right there? Yes sir. Wow, that's a large intake.
How much horsepower are we talking about? 800 a piece? Oh wow. 1600 horses. Well our big block makes about 800 so it should be able to pick it up for my map. And then this sucker is this for carrying people? Yep, sure is or anything. This aircraft is outfitted for the winch. The winch has a capability about 550 pounds and then we also have a cargo hook that we're going to be picking up stuff. Yeah, how much does the cargo hook hold? 3 000 pounds on the hook? Oh I think you could pick up a Crown Vic Uh, not with this one. with the other one we can.
This one's this one's pretty fat. Okay, oh this one's got all the extra stuff. Oh yeah. okay, all right.
so this notar is probably double the size of the 520s. It looks like oh yeah, this is. this is the big deal if you guys are new around here. Instead of having a tail rotor, this thing just blows air out of the tail and then the pilot controls how much air is Flowing out of the tail with his pedals.
That just blocks that off or lets more air flow. It's crazy. Insane design. basically magic happens and then the helicopter doesn't spin because without this it would spin out of control.
So I Always tell people unicorns and rainbows come out of that thing to avoid the long explanation. All right, we'll do. this is so cool. Look at her from back here.
I Know this is right. This is probably the coolest helicopter I've ever seen in person. This is a very rare one. I would say as far as most helicopters go, I've been around helicopters now for years.
never even seen one fly by. So very exciting to have a 900 Explorer here and a freaking awesome pilot so we can do some cool stuff. Can we show you our project? Absolutely All right. Come on, All right.
Dan We got a project for you. We have two burnout cars, right? We got this one and we've got the mystery machine that we're trying to retire. Okay, now we want this big block. We want to keep this so we need you to hoist this out of here.
Okay, set it in the bed of this pickup truck. Okay, okay, how do you feel about that? We can do it that easy I mean I wouldn't call it easy, but we can do it. sounds easy and then we want you to pick this vehicle up and drop it on. So let's see what we can do for you.
Sounds good? I mean what could go wrong? I Can't think of a single thing. 50 feet drop? Oh yeah, yeah, we could. we could do that. Well, you did.
50 feet. You think you got that accuracy? My that perception's off. I might be a little higher I Don't know. Okay, whatever happens happens, you know this is so cool.
This is like this is a story of the aviation. Community I Feel like because I would have never met this guy if I didn't post any Aviation videos and then he just happened to stop by and check the place out from the air. and because we love Aviation we got him to land and now we're here the next day doing this cool video like I think it's just meant to be All right? Well I guess we got some rigging to do. We got a safety briefing to do so that we make sure everything's coordinated and as safe as possible and then we're gonna go for this. How long is this unit? I think he just swapped it to a 7500 75er. Not easy is what that means. This has got to be one of the hardest skill jobs in the world. Like I mean flying a plane flying helicopter is not that bad, but when you have this gigantic rope and then something on the bottom, it takes a lot of skills.
Well let's get out of the way. This is the only we. our engine hoist is broke. We literally had no other choice to get this several million dollar helicopter here to pull our big block out.
Or it was just basically salvaged at that point, right? Exactly? Are you worried about your truck at all? I Think he's got it. You know that's a no. We're gonna be on the side there holding it right. Are you worried? I Can't think of a single thing that could go wrong.
Exactly. This should make a quick work here. MD 902 No Tar baby. our engine hoist is just so many pumps forever that's doing the big box on it waiting.
Now you're pumping all day long. Why not have an Md-900 and two to pick it up? It's slightly more expensive I mean look so cool. It's worth it. Yeah, oh, it's gonna be awesome.
Here we go. Oh no no no Oh my gosh, dude, this is so cool. All right here he comes bringing the hook down. Dude, you got it.
You're right there. All right. they're getting the hook. Look at this, it is hooked up through the helicopter.
there's that. 632 Big Block Boys oh my goodness, that is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Dude, that's your big box if he gets us first try. Oh thoroughly impressed.
Got block transport pulling up. Oh my gosh, No way. No way. You have got to be kidding me.
Oh my gosh, it was too easy. He did that in one minute. That was way too easy. Dude, that was way too easy.
That was too easy. One shot. Have you ever seen a big block flying through the sky because that was an incredible thing I was not kidding. He was like yeah, put the tailgate up.
you have no idea how hard that is. That is so hard. Yeah, he did it perfectly. that is.
textbook. look. he's got the back of the oil pan flat front on the tire. I mean didn't touch the windows.
not a rookie. came out like it wasn't even like just wait a pound. Yeah, 1600 horsepower pulling it straight up in the sky using the engine hoisting. Yeah dude, we don't need engine hoists anymore.
Dude. Unbelievable. You were not joking. You can you perfectly on the tire? I mean just on days work? huh? Yeah, that's it man.
Dude. Yeah, dude. that was so impressive. 10 gallons of jet fuel? Dude.
Worth it. Let's not worry about any of the maintenance Goss you just throw all that out the window. We're worried about fuel costs. Yeah, yeah, all right.
So it sounds like today we're gonna fulfill my dream of being hoisted by a helicopter fight rescuer. But I'm gonna be rescuing a burnout car. Yeah, that's why I'm rescuing today I'm rescuing neighbor and making sure that I can do a burnout right after I Like this. This is gonna be a girl like this a lot. I Got to get a quick briefing and then put my helmet on and apparently this thing is gonna lower me down to neighbor so I can do a burnout? I Mean that's pretty much cool. This is. that's what I call a tipping. That's a tip.
That's a dip in all right. Get out of here dude. Sam You can't just be cleaning people's helicopters, man. But the thing's dirty.
You can't let them run around here doing amazing things all right. Well I Guess I guess he won't make them mad. You give her a little polish a little bit like you're so fly sideways. you know it's okay.
Dude I Walk over here. he's polishing helicopter. You could buff that out for him now that. I can't really worry about that, but it's up here like this.
Getting strapped in? yeah, you're nice and snug. That's good. Looks a little tight down south anymore. Dude, you are suited up.
dude. is it tight? It doesn't seem all that tight. You good? I Don't think it's I don't think you want it overly tight. You want to be able to move? Yeah.
maneuver be nimble. Yeah. Okay. I like that.
Wow. Okay, well. you're moving. That will be over your right shoulder.
All right. Once once he's gone. I Take this off, safety comes off and and there we go. I'm gonna push out.
Go ahead, just land on your feet there. just really, really. just sit upright and get a foot behind you. That way you can stay on feet.
you ready for this? Yep, you seem like a natural up there. It's really how they transport giraffes. It is. you left the keys in it, right? keys in it.
But the bar shot we do all this to. James I Can't believe these guys brought a baby giraffe in this helicopter. Dude. Draft: Transportation 101 Dude, this is uh, this is one way to do it.
The 902 or whatever it was. 902. yeah oh brim. Aviation they really? if you need a draft transported, call for him.
be good bud and stuff here we go baby. Foreign. Thank you. That was the coolest thing ever.
That was the coolest thing ever. Cool. Best intro ever on YouTube Shout out to Prim Aviation Dude, it's real I'd say that went perfect dude, you look like a pro scooting down that thing. Dude.
Yeah. foreign. That was so cool. All right.
Last but not least, the Crown Vic dropped. you know she was Valiant uh teammate to us Noble Steed Yeah, you got any final words guys. See you later Really? Ty Let's just say this mystery is about to be solved. Let's put it in position.
we might need some wheel chocks. How high you think you can get her? The question is your accuracy. That is. The question just misses the car.
totally. It'll still be cool. All right. Well look at the Mystery Machine it looks so cute next to that like vicious looking helicopter. Yeah I know dude, it's huge compared to it. that sounds so nice. All right. So we did the calculations.
should be well within the safe. Zone Yep and we're feeling good. Let's do it Here we go. She's hooked up.
She's hooked up brother. It's done. Oh my gosh no freaking way. That's way.
up there dude. Oh my gosh, Oh my goodness. Dude, the suspense is killing me. It just flames.
That was great. We were lining him up from our angle and he was dead on, but just a little close. Dude, that was great. Oh he didn't get the paint on it.
We're good. Oh nice. Walk down it. walk down it.
nailed it. No way. dude. she crumbled see another brother.
This is the best day ever. It's so crazy. This all happened again. he didn't hit it.
He did it fairly enough to be awesome though. he went way higher than I Thought he was good. He did. that was awesome.
He got up there. yeah dude. that was a solid 10 feet. I would say yeah I had to guess 10 11 feet? Yeah? 12 Yeah, maybe.
Oh my. God Man, that thing is a freaking rig. Well you rubbed paint. Yeah, you rubbed paint with the mystery machine so close.
Man, it's all right. Give us your license. Hey Seriously, thank you so much for doing this. Yeah, this is so awesome.
So it was an awesome experience. Yeah, big shout out to Dan and Dan and your crew. Yeah and brim. Aviation that's freaking so cool.
These guys, uh, went out of their way to make this happen just randomly. So that was a really fun day off of building power lines. Yeah dude, thank you so much. All right.
Well I guess we better go back to the shop I Don't know what we are gonna do with the Twisty card now. it just survived. What? Yeah I Thought was an inevitable we're gonna have to Yeah I don't know but uh hey. Thanks again.
See you around buddy. All right we'll see you stay flying foreign.
Good Riddance Mystery Machine.
Who else is sad about the mystery machine?
Dude that man has got some piloting skills to hold that hover with that engine hanging 75 ft below and not get into any pendulum motion, That's some cyclic management right there. The thing about it is you can't make this crap up it was just fate that he was flying over and saw you and landed and you got to do all this cool stuff. This is when the best things happen when it just is out of the blue.
How many times in one video can cleater pronounce the name of the helicopter wrong. 900 900 900. Mean while its a 902. Epic cleatus is the best.
That’s crazy!
The bald eagles are flying!
whole new meaning to sending a rod to space
Why did cleetus sacrifice the mystery machine?
If we don't see these fellers in a 8-10 second car and some general giraffe nonsense I'll be thoroughly unhappy
too good lollll
The weather is getting worse, the big blocks are flying low 😂
Should have raced him around the track
This would make Ken Block smile
This just might be my favorite video yet. Epic helicopter. Dan is a damn good pilot.
There's a new heli out called a Hill XT50. It might be up your alley. The specs are amazing and you could get 4 for the price of a MD 530ff
Just a big kid living the dream
If that was me flying Zach’s back window would be gone 😂
