What Do the Markings On A Helicopter Pad Mean?
In this episode we’re on the helo pad talking about the markings.

I obtained my private pilot license in 1981 and always wanted to fly in a helicopter. In 1993 i was transported via helicopter for a heart attack. The flight was about 10 minutes long and I was positioned next to a window. I was hurting so bad,I didn’t enjoy the view or the ride at all. I am more careful about what I wish for, but I’m glad it was there for me.
“Sigh, the butthole”
You’re one of the funniest and most genuine people on YouTube, don’t change.
I have gotten to ride in a Blackhawk (I think) in Iraq in 2004 and a Chinook when I went on leave. The helicopters were used to transport us from the camp I was stationed at to the airport and back again.
Rotor Blades and Peoples Heads do not mix well. Ryan 2023 Wise words. Keep up the amazing videos
I love helicopters! Most recent one I had a ride in was an Airbus H125
I think rotor blades actually mix human heads pretty well.
I bet this guy isn’t even a real battleship
had a chance to fly on a UH-1 Huey once. our squadron (No 1 Naval Air Wing) had an affiliation with an Army aviation outfit and once when we needed to transfer someplace they gave us a lift, literally 😉 – was fun!
I got to fly in two helos while in the USCG. One was venerable 65 for an area familiarization flight (boondoggle). The other time was when the USCG chartered a helo so we could investigate an oil sheen near San Francisco.
The oil sheen ended up being ftom a sunken liberty ship from DECADES before. Complicated steps were taken to remove the oil.
The helo belonged to the CEO of Oracle. It was the most beautiful and immaculate helo you would likely ever see. Apparently he had a soft spot for the USCG and would charter his helo cheaper than the cost of flying our own!
In the early '80s I flew in a Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil
Light utility helicopter from the Central Pier in Atlantic City, NJ. My Grandfather was the pier manager and the plan was to bring high rollers from NY to AC to gamble. The deck at the end of the pier had similar landing markings as the battleship.
I commute to work in a helicopter—I work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Usually in an S-76C or an AW139. (As a tall man, I like the 139 better.)
I always find it funny when TV shows or movies show people having casual conversations in helicopters. Not happening. It’s way too loud!
Remember when Ryan scammed thousands of veterans and senior citizens with that Established Titles scam?
Ryan told my grandpa that if he paid some money, he would become a Lord and be able to use that honorific on drivers license and credit cards, but he wasn’t able to. It was all a scam and a lie.

My very first helo flight was in an Australian S-70 – known to the rest of the world as a UH-60 Blackhawk… we were told “rifle barrels between your legs, pointing down – knees together – feet together”
Anyway – the pilots threw the chopper all over the place – it was a very violent ride… so much so that I had to spread my feet apart and reach out to grab something for stability. It seemed like a good idea at the time – until my rifle nearly flew out the side door…
Luckily I caught it in time! I didn’t fancy the idea of returning a badly bent rifle to the armoury that day!
2:25 "Water is softer than flight deck."
Write that down. It's going to be on the test.
Yes i flew in a helicopter. It was absolutely awesome.

As a Navy Photographer, I flew extensively in UH-1, SH-3, and CH-46 helos. In my civilian occupation as a Police/City Photographer, I flew weekly in Hughes 300s and 500s.
I've actually flown in helicopters three times, but for civilian purposes.
Once was on a short hop from the ranch my family stayed at, to the drop off point for going down the Grand Canyon. The pilot in that case was former military, and so he knew how to do a zero-gee return to target curve for landing. That was very exciting, especially since I got to sit up front. And I made damn sure I didn't touch anything.
The second time was during a cruise my wife and I took to Alaska, where one of the shore excursions was to take a flight out to a glacier. Those guys really knew what they were doing and had their routine down pat. They timed the music perfectly to when we came over a rise between two mountain peaks, thus revealing the glacier beneath us. Of course, the music was Flight of the Valkyries from Gottedamerung.
The third time was on a vacation my wife and I took to Alaska, where we could see various sights around the big island, including near the active volcano at Mauna Kea. We took lots of pictures, but the third trip wasn't quite as exciting as the first two. We were okay with lower levels of excitement when we were close to the volcano. That's not something you want to be close to when it gets too exciting.
The safety line reminds me of a quarterdeck break: no going aft without permission!
