Bell 47 Startup

[n2ize]

Interesting video for those who may be curious as to how the now vintage Bell 47 control panel looks from the inside and how the start up procedure works. It is also a great insight into what Rudy has to go through when he flies the King of Saudi Arabia from Texas to the Middle East. Unfortunately this guy doesn;t have an APU like Rudy's pink Bell 47 does.

Although it's most likely not the Rudy we know and love...The Bedouin/Mexican/Texan who wants a taco and flies a pink 47 with an onboard APU.... Nonetheless I couldn;t resist the temptation due to the name coincidence.

Otherwise it's an interesting video, particularly for the layman who rarely gets to see the inner workings of these machines.

Another way you can tell this is not our Rudy... He doesn;t prefix his sentences with "Hello"...

That was cool but I still want a taco.

[NA4BH]

This is all BS

Nobody said: HELLO

[K7SGJ]

Hello

[NA4BH]

Now it's real

[W7XF]

Hello.

This Bell 47 does not have an APU. Or a cataclysmic converter. Or a muffler bearing. And the strobes need blinker fluid.
But, it STILL needs a taco dispenser!

Pink helicopter????? ........honest to god .....I thought he always claimed it was black! :rofl:

Pnik? Black? Who could keep track?

It was hard enough trying to remember his nationality du jour... now, I've heard of TexMex, but, hello! would he be BedTexMex?
