I was so happy to get some footage of this one, the S-61 is an impressive machine. I hope you can spot one soon!

These used to be our bog standard birds for our UK Coastguard 999 service. They all sounded scary and mean in the air you could tell an S61 from any other helicopter. You could see and hear these coming over a mile away with that noise. That angry/evil sounding rasp off the tail rotor was what made these sound so intimidating. The size of them and the noise they made were incredible.

Wonderful sound and close up video of the awesome Sikorsky, Jesse 🥰👏👍👍

@@TheHDAviation The rapid acceleration of the rotor seems to tell us that the engines are already turning, and the brake is released.

The rotor accelerates faster if the engines are already at flight idle which makes it safer because there is a risk of a boom strike if the rotor is spinning at low speed especially on gusty days.

​@@TheHDAviationI'm no S61 expert so please correct me if I am wrong but I don't think these would have a turbine APU? I wouldn't think they would be a large enough aircraft to have one. Airbus and Boeing passenger aircraft would but heli's would be too small. So I would assume one of the two main Rolls Royce turbine engines that power the aircraft would count as the APU. They sound as if the turbine engines start and run with the rotors completely stopped as an idle 0% throttle. Then once they are ready they sound as if they increase the throttle from 0% and power them up a little as they release the rotor brake. Then once the rotors are spinning on full but the aircraft is still idle they power it up to 100% to lift it off the ground. I'm just guessing

Wow! Amazing shots of an amazing machine! Another great video.
