Helo Tv Bloopers

The mention of Magnum on another thread reminded me of one episode where they had to land cos of a broken pitch rod . they made a replacement one using a 7 iron as I recall . Anyone else got any other good examples?.

I saw the exact same thing on an episode of "Benson", but on a JetRanger. Seven iron would make a pretty interesting pitch link on a 500.

Magnum was great for strange Heli probems but I think that they at least got some input from the heli crew.

Met Tom S. once - very nice guy.

Remember a show called 240 Robert - the things that went wrong with that poor 500!!!! :shock: Everythinhg led to smoke and a high speed hover turn- especially the hydraulic failures- LOL

[twinstar_ca]

lol!! 240 robert was a hoot to watch both from the flying standpoint and the EMS standpoint!! i don't think gage and desoto lost any sleep that the sheriff's boys would edge out squad 51!!!

 

there were a few shows before that... i think one was called chopper 1 with some police guys in a 206... never hear much about that one...

 

and who could forget the screaming mimi!!! nothing to do with drew carey but a couple of private eye brothers, one who flew a rusted out 58 all over the place..

Tom Selleck is in Halifax this month shooting a movie. My neighbour is a waitress at a restaurant and has served him three times this week. He asks for her each time, no doubt why as she is quite a nice lady (not hard to look at either). $150 tip each time.

 

Shearwater is again hosting the V-22 Opsrey as well as a British Merlin EH-101 this winter doing operational icing testing. Lots of action in this area.
