Hummingbird First Flight

Vic from Base Leg Aviation discusses flight training in Florida with Alex Anduze. Then Vic talks about first flights in helicopters vs airplanes. Finally, he tells us he made 2 first flights today.
Alex Anduze flies the original version of a Hummingbird a Sikorsky HO5S-1. It was tasked as an air rescue helicopter and if you notice in one of the the pictures, the passenger windshield opens so a stretcher could be placed in the helicopter. Alex flew the Sikorsky HO5S-1 in the recent movie "Devotion".

    Congratulations. Looks great. Interesting to see how much the rotor disc coned up.I assume that makes for a stable helicopter?

    Looks like you were a little nervous there. Lots of dancing around pitch wise.

    The wind was quite gusty (over 17). It was down the runway, but that's why I quit after 2. :)
