• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Piasecki H-21B Take Off

I stuck around after the Wings Over Gillespie Airshow yesterday to film the take off of the only flying H-21B.

A semi truck pulled in front of me right before the H-21 lifted off into a hover. I had to run to get the truck out of my way to film the remaining action. Luckily, they set it back down for a second before lifting the rear landing gear off the ground, rolling forward on only the nose gear, and finally lifting off after they had enough speed, which allowed me just enough time to reposition. Filming through a fence is not easy, either!

Enjoy! Probably not the right forum category, but it's a cool helicopter. :wiggle:
