Ahhh, That beautiful unmistakable sound of that MD500 is music to my ears. Without even looking you know what it is. Thanks for sharing.

Taking this vid was a real rush !

I can imagine a huge bee flying right at the camera

I was thinking more of a Dragonfly, but Bee is good too.

Great vid. Loved the frontal approaches towards the camera and that amazing Hughes sound. Awesome thanks.

Nice set up you have there. Saw your comment on my Dehavilland Beaver floatplane video. I need to get my 500D videos up to share. With over 10,000 hours logged now some of the most rewarding and fun flying ever was in the 1979 Hughes 500D on low skids. IMO the Corvette of the sky. I need to make a goal to park one in my backyard...COOL STUFF

Oh to have one of these parked by my garage. I swear this is the model that flew the nat gas pipeline inspection once a month by my parents house I remember as a child. The sound is very distinct too.

Looks like a wonderful aircraft to fly

@Decalage45 - Thanks for the kind comment. I also liked your Guillows conversion and PBY vids. Fun stuff.

That put a smile on my face.

Awesome! You had a better camera then, then most have these days... ;)

I like when the Hughes md 500 makes a smooth noise 1:16

Lol, the pilot has this big grin on his face, but the passenger looks like he's bored.

Pax could be frightened stiff.

That's right, don't drag a skid.

Did That helicopter scare the crap out of you buzzing over you? Good catch.

2011….let’s see…Panasonic LUMIX FZ…something. Sorry, long time. It’s in a box somewhere. Nice camera. Later bought a Cannon xa 10. Never used either to their full potential. Story of my life.

Good One!...................................................

I am sure if he asked nicely, the neighbor would stay off his grass. This approach seems a bit much.

We had some fun…this is one of my favs. Check out md500 attacks !

Hughes 500 with low skids looks bad for me.

I like the low rider look, but that’s just me. Thanks for watching.
