I flew plenty in 500D and 500C and in Jet Ranger and other kinds of helicopters, but mainly in the 500D in the remote mountains of New Zealand back in the 1980s, and the 500D is such a wonderful machine, it has allowed many alpine projects to go ahead smoothly and safely all over the world. And 500s have rescued so many people from survival situations in remote spots. Love it.

I feel fortunate to have ridden in that bird many times. Even got to pilot it on the (semi) straight and level. Thanks for the comment. Enjoy !

Nice pickup. You want to get away from that dolly right away. Well done. I flew the OH6 while in the Army, so I prefer the right PIC setup better. I would get an F model if financially able. Great video.

Thanks for the kind comment. The 500 is long gone and packing a tree trimming saw now. Seems a shame to me. The owner did a very meticulous ground up resto/mod on that bird. He has an Enstrom 28c %95 restored, but got sidetracked building carts. He has electric and gas models for sale.

That startup sound! So good!

Never a chore with a 500. Nice job flying on and off that trolley. I'm looking for a fixed wing sports tourer at the moment, and have spent a ridiculous amount of time looking at 500s instead. It makes no financial sense, but the heart wants what the heart wants.I have to own, share or have regular access to one. Soon. It's as simple as that.

She's gorgeous! Love this clear video and wind up sound with no music.

The wind-up sound IS music.

I can't get enough of this video. How Cool. Thanks for sharing this baby with us. Stay Safe my Friend.

On my bucket list to fly and own one my favorite heilcopter ❤️💯

I've spent many hours in many helos but the Little Bird was always my fav.

The owner / pilot has done ground - up restorations on four helicopters (so far). Two Enstrom piston jobs, and two 500s - a C model and this D model. He is in the tool rental business and is also a machinist. Thanks for watching.

Such a beautiful helo -- certainly one of my favorites. And the sound of five blades is so distinct. Thanks for the HD vid of one gorgeous machine!

This gorgeous flying bird even has the tail rotor of the MI-26 helicopter.

Absolutely fantastic!!!

Someone likes our Hughes 500's We do also, Family is still in the business.

Great, never get tired of the videos :-), 500 is the sky Porsche without doubt.

What a beauty!!!

Coolest sounding and sexiest looking helicopter ever! nice lift off looks like an awesome place to fly! my dream chopper!

Amazing aircraft.

I always wonder why people dislike video's like this.. It such a good video! If you don't like it, just leave and don't hit that dislike button.

Thanks for your kind comment. I enjoyed watching that bird take off and fly as much as getting to ride in it. Almost.

That's a nice looking MD500e you've got there😊😊😊😊

The interior is the Hit! Great Viz!

That's beautiful country wherever that is.

Hahahaha I watch so many helicopter videos I see I've made it back here where I've commented before 8 months ago. Still one of the smoothest and best pick-ups ever.

I love these vids too ! Long live N86ST ! Thanks for watching !

one of two of my favorite helicopters in world. The other is the Mi 24Hind D

There's no such thing as a free lunch, I guess, but I still want one of these even if it does mean that I have to wear the standard issue white socks and sandles to fly one. That much cool helicopter makes an uncool counterpoint mandatory to balance things out, I s'pose, and a big pair of white-socked feet in the nose windows would do it for sure. It's a phenomenon I've noticed in a few 500 vids. Lovely bird. My favourite ever. Thanks for posting the video.

Thanks for the kind comments. Enjoy ! Maybe someday.

Fantastic, spectacular, a consultation, what Hughes 500 model is ??

I'll say it again, I miss N86ST! Mike is a smooth and careful pilot.

One of my favourite helicopters and such a cool sound with the 5 MR blades but I like the original bubble canopy, never really liked the pointy one that MD used.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here and I’m looking forward to seeing this one

Awesome ship

beautifull .... fantastic.. !!! come to italy ?

Funny. No free lunch for this bird...she got stripped down and is now packing a tree trimming saw. Next one you'll see on this channel will be a not so sexy Enstrom (If she gets put back together). Thanks for watching.

sooo cool!

MY BIGGEST DREAM! IT´S BIG ENOUGH, RIGHT?

OOOOOOOHHHH yyyeeeaaah

Why would anyone want to 7put those aftermarket noses on a C or D. More room i get it.. But the old round noses are will always be classic..

@markmywords312 - Taking off is the EASY part !

As far as I know it is packing a saw trimming trees.

The Hughes/MD 500 series do not have boosted controls. Flying one is like getting a workout at the gym.

How much money one helycopter? I want tobuy one.

Is this filmed in Ohio by chance?

It's a D model. (end plates on the horizontal stabilizer are shaped like a sideways home plate, E/F models are squared..

American air power is great great country... Degrees of freedom to the world's best I think. Yearning Helicopter pilot was an age impossible, are satisfied with the video. MD500 series is especially a favorite aircraft.
