Dreams can come true...with hard work!
Is it possible to get the air conditioning system retrofitted on existing 280FXes?
So cool.
I love my Enstrom. but I can only give the company a 3/4 the way back. We have all been waiting for their piston governor/collective update for over a year and they can’t produce any T/R blades yet. Keep at it guys!
So glad Entrom is back🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love Enstroms every since I first started watching Kenny Keller with HOGs.
This is precious lesson!
What cool!!
I'm currently restoring serial #008
Enstorm working on new models?
Great video! Your comment about feeling like it was going to sneak up on you...that is exactly how it felt to me! It was over before I knew it happened.
Good job ❤
I understand machine makes it efficient.. However, there’s beauty in seeing multiple efforts to achieve 1 goal.
Many hands make light work.
A little automation would go a long way. 12 people to flip one piece of plastic... Kinda unnecessary don't you think?
Are you guys doing the new plexiglass for Cleetus McFarland's MD5 at Thoroughbred Aviation?
Beat me to the question lol hopefully, I can't wait to see that bird finished
@@jayballuk Absolutely! Gotta get the word out to these companies to get in on the colabs to get brand recognition and free advertising!!
Art, beautiful.
Jack Christendonplayed Santa back in the early 60’s to be flown in an Enstrom
Some damn good team work
No torque specs on the gearbox? Just use an impact driver and call it good?
Many hands can do wonders! 💪✌️🍀☘️
I wish I could see the N number of the white and red A model If it's N193E in 1967 as a F28 or 195E in 1968 as a F28A then it still flies today as N4462
Fantastic. I own and fly a 280fx so I’ll have to try to make it out there.
Wow that's a clean glass panel🎉
I don't use the word "cute" very often, but THAT was a CUTE video.
Good looking chopper, excellent ground view too.
I read in an Aviation magazine that Enstrom Helicopters closed.This is contrary to what am seeing.Kindly help me understand
The company did declare bankruptcy and closed for a very short time. Chuck Surack stepped in and the doors were open again. You can find many articles on our website.
Awesome
d koz - you obviously have no idea who Dennis Kenyon was. He wasn't some hotdog chancer - he was one of the most experienced rotary pilots in the UK. He did this kind of display to demonstrate the Enstrom's agility - plus he was simply better than Anyone else End.
WTF. Delete the music pollution and it will be a brilliant video.
2:15 This is effing stupid! This pilot is asking for a dyn roll. This kind of capabilities should never be demonstrated. Lest some new guy, or irresponsible old hand decides to experiment. "Hold my beer and watch this". Flying backwards, is almost as dumb, and it has uses in RL. I hate this hot dog air shows. Show practical useful performance demo. Autorot to the ground, not into ground. Max performance climb. External sling operations. Extreme hovering skills. Confined area operations. Wire avoidance.
Best copters in the USA. I sure hope Enstrom weathers the chapter-7 and comes out better than ever!

I’d like to see an updated version of this film. Preferably, not filmed using a watermelon as a camera!
Very very very stupid & ignorant on the pilot's part at 1:52 to perform the ground manuever on the skids!!! Extremely lucky he didnt nose over into the ground or cause a dynamic roll over when both skids briefly touched the ground during the left circular pattern. Coulduh been a loss of a very expenssive Enstrom helo as well as injury or death to the pilot!!!
TRUCKER RAY - He was able to do that because he had over forty years of experience, and he was better than anyone else.
@@paulward4268 I feel like he was still lucky, though. . .no matter the experience!
@@truckerray7533 -- Well if that is the opinion, then the same can be said for virtually any other display performer, in Any other machine - be it aircraft, cars - anything. Expertise, skill and competence are borne out of vast experience -- and Kenyon most certainly had that in excess. To quote your post -. "very, very, stupid & Ignorant" - he was Not - and those words are monumentally out of place here.
@@paulward4268 I NEVER said at any point of Denis Kenyon's lifestyle experiance of being a fixed wing & rotory wing helicopter pilot that he was a "very very stupid & ignorant" man! That's not what i was saying, & you took what I had said WAY OUT OF CONTEXT & you know it!!! I just said that it was "very very stupid & ignorant at 1:52 for him to perform that type of ground maneuver on the skids!" He could have had a nose over or a dynamic rollover resulting in a crash & that would have been what. . . . .PILOT ERROR!!! He was lucky at that particular moment of time, that he did not have a crash!! And did ya happen to see the helicopter crash he did have with the Hughes C-300 helicopter in Lehi, Utah??? Trying to come out of & recover from an inside loop he performed & ended up crashing into the ground! He was lucky he wasn't killed then & only walked away scratches, bumps, n bruises. He said. . . .it was pilot error & that crash was an eye opener for him & even though he was gonnuh continue flying helicopters, he was not going to perform any more aerobatic manuevers! And. . . . my he rest In peace after passing away from the illness he had!
@@truckerray7533 Heyyyy - whoa whoa!! Just a second - YOU WROTE "very, very stupid and ignorant" YOUR WORDS! I don't care what context! And YOU know what I was referring to! My point about his experience and skill is perfectly correct. His skills allowed him to perform the skid manouver,, and he had been doing it for many years. And yes, I do know of his crash in Utah - so what? Many display pilots have incidents during their careers - that doesn't mean that they are incompetent or reckless. I'm not here to change your mind - but I have the right to disagree with your view.
he is out of his mind dragging that skid like that.
Daley should be strung up (In my opinion) for what he did to Meigs field. Such a darn shame that he was allowed to do what he did! Beautiful flight, and thanks for the cool video!
nice solo flt👍
Please make a detailed video enstrom special Swashplate
I remember this helicopter as a kid in the 90's in pasadena.
I gotta get me one of these.
Great Vid, GREAT story...! Thanks for posting...! Gordon in Maryland
Enstrom helicopters is working since 1960 decade. I live in Brazil.
AMAZING...do you have the complete footage of all cameras...?... the controls during maneuvers???
Mark, you would need to contact Safomar Aviation in South Africa. You can find their information on our website. I am not sure who put this footage together.
Foxtrot789...me too in R44
is it base version or some upgrade ?
Do you still have the aircraft? I learned to fly in that ship. I'm still with Pasadena flying the 480B now
Sorry for just now seeing your comment, but yes, and thank you for your service! We still fly it on a regular basis, and in fact just completed the TT strap upgrade on it!
Any chance you have some photos of the aircraft when it was still a police ship? My dad has owned the helicopter for 32 years now, and we really don’t know much about it’s history. Any photos or stories are greatly appreciated!
Now, who wants to try that in an R44? Didn't think so!
why the music?
Nice story. I grew up in Pasadena and the red Enstrom flying in the skies is what sparked my love for helicopters. I frequently visited the Pasadena Police Helicopter Station. So many great memories about the Enstrom. Some of the gang members I knew affectionately named it the Ghetto Bird.
