Whirlybirds fans ARE the "powers that be" and together we could make that happen by contacting the correct people.  "Squeeky wheel gets the grease!"

I will always remember the first helicopter I ever flew in: a Bell 47J over Old San Juan. Unforgettable experience thanks to M&W Sky Rides.

I flew in a 47 over Niagara Falls.  (Well not actually over.)  I will always remember what the gal on the TV show, 'That's Incredible' said when she took a ride in a chopper.  She said, "the first thing you learn about helicopters is that they are so loud you can't hear yourself think".  I wonder how many lives were saved with that helicopter that would have been lost with other methods.  Soldiers in the Korean War to people on burning sail boats and a thousand other dangerous conditions.  I suppose there are so many safety regulations today that prevent that air craft from being made.  To bad because it would be a great first chopper for a flying club or school.

I 've started to fly helicopters, Bell47G2 in France and I got the private license, then I came to the US, Los Angeles in 1995 to get the FAA commercial License and CFI rating and I am glad to see Robin in this video, who was at this time the owner of Barvo helicopters.

Have learnd fly this Bird at Sprinfield,Mo. USA - Airpark South 1988 and 1990 awesome it was !

RIP Danny Rodriguez (1949-2020). A Good Pilot and a Good Friend.

Loved 'Whirlybirds' ! you tracked down my hero Chuck who provided hours of entertainment with this iconic helicopter,the Bell 47 lives on thanks to the owners of these fine machines.Long may the fly ins continue.

Thank you - Chuck & P.T. Moore !!

Glad you like it!  One of my favorite videos!

Thank you again for your great comments!  I did find you in the video.  It's cool putting a face to a comment!  Wish I could have been there!!!

I became acquainted with the aircraft through the TV series M*A*S*H And then my uncle bought one surplus equipment from Florida highway patrol.

I want to thank you for this video and tribute to a great aircraft. We were so moved by your actions that Sherri and I want to do a similar event in North Florida.

What an awesome video & an excellent tribute to such a classic bird. Im a helicopter nut  as well as enthusiast & have always loved the Bell-47 helicopter. Unfortunately im not a pilot as a cannot afford flight school but hopefully that will change one day. My  2nd flight in a chopper was out in california & was in a fact a "crop dusting" Bell-47. It was white & blue, very safe & stable aircraft & a heckuvuh lottuh fun.  Thankya for this awesome video. Fly safe ya'll

Not a pilot but I love to watch flight video's of aircraft and going to aircraft museums. It must be awesome to have flying a helicopter in your skillset.

EXCELLENT video!!!!! A TRILLION thanks for loading this!!!!!! I attended this event back in April 2001, and although I was working nights at the time, that DIDN'T stop me from enjoying the event, and drooling over what was parked on the ramp that day. About 14 machines in total arrived and departed at different intervals. GREAT event!!!!!! Bell 47 buff FOREVER!!!!!!!

Beautiful video thanks for sharing watching it today Sept 19 2023 ☺️🚁🚁💞✨👍🏾

So very cool, I would really love to fly in a Bell 47 again, it's been a long time. Thank you for the great footage 👍😎
