Video: Bell 407 Helicopter Departs KAUW

In this video, you’ll see a Bell 407 helicopter operated by PHI (Petroleum Helicopter, Inc.) departing Wausau, Wisconsin on a medical flight.  PHI operates helicopters all over the country on medivac contracts and oil rig support among other things.  I was in Wausau operating a charter flight in the Citation X and this flight departed just as our passengers arrived.  You can see the shadow of the tail of our airplane in the video.  Possibly because I was filming, these guys looked to ‘hot dog’ out of there, slewing sideways before zipping away.  If they weren’t so expensive, I’d be flying helicopters, so I really enjoyed the show!

Pre-Flight

In this episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast, we talked about a quick recap of the Women Fly It Forward event back on March 10th, 2012. Carl was attending the Planes, Trains, & Automobiles event at Plant City Airport, Florida during recording so you’ll enjoy a fun airplane sound seeing tour as airplanes takeoff in the background. Then Len finally got to share his Super Cub Alaska bush flying adventure stories from Summer 2010 and Winter 2012. Special thanks of our sponsor, Keel & Curley Winery for lending us their hangar at Plant City!
