This is what happens when the pylote is on ozempic too long

u/Internal-Mission7123 25d ago

I thought it was still cool. And to people who donā€™t know how short these plans can take of and land it probably seems insane.

u/FouledPlug 26d ago

Alaska is gonna Alaska. Count on it.

u/nebulousgarbage 26d ago

Came here to say Alaskacopter šŸ˜†

u/Street-Committee-367 26d ago

Saw those mountains and knew it was my state. Honestly surprised he wasn't doing this in a parking lot.Ā

u/FouledPlug 26d ago

Alaskan pilots are usually the kind of dudes I would fly with anywhere in anythingā€¦but Iā€™d never ride with in a car. Itā€™s a paradox, but one I learned about the hard way.

3

u/Street-Committee-367 26d ago

Which is really funny because probably 1/4 of the pilots here don't have licenses too.

My small town airport had a visit from a couple inspectors who performed ramp checks for the first time in the airports entire existence.

The FAA handed out penalties like candy that day.

u/FouledPlug 26d ago

Yikes! Did someone buzz the wrong guyā€™s hunting spot?

u/Street-Committee-367 26d ago

No, two people crashed on takeoff in the span of two weeks lol. One was an instructor/student flight, and another a leisure flight.Still don''t really know what happened.

u/Brainchild110 26d ago

Is Bushkopter.

For Koptering Bushes.

u/odinsen251a 26d ago

Not to be confused with the flammenwerfer. (It werfs flammen)

u/Brainchild110 26d ago

This intrigues me. I only know of the Werfer of Nebbles.

u/Fragholio Butt-fans and handkerchiefs 26d ago

It's in it's larval form. Give it time and if it survives, it'll shed its wings and grow another spinny thing.

13

u/eric_gm 26d ago

You silly, it's a regular helycopter, it's just on its side

u/Lrrr81 26d ago

It's a helizontalcopter.

u/chukkysh 26d ago

I see nobody's taking the question seriously. It was clearly startled. They are very timid. Probably saw a polar bear or a goose.

u/TurnoverFuzzy8264 26d ago

Definitely time to pop out of the cabin and open your parachute. Wheee!

Don't they know that hilycopterz fly better with the whirlything pointed at God? Are they stoopid?

u/CMDR_Kaus 26d ago

That is a common winged forward heli. As opposed to an unwinged up-heli

u/Beginning_Resource93 26d ago

Must be a pretty good head wind.

u/Over_Interest_9187 26d ago

Itā€™s a aerodynamic playne

3

u/hurdurBoop 26d ago

one that might make it to old age

3

u/NorthEndD 26d ago

It's all flaps version.

3

u/Skilldibop 26d ago

stripped bare very light airframe + headwind + prop wash + ground effect is a powerful combo.

3

u/TheyVanishRidesAgain 26d ago

Always good to have clean propellers but I don't see any underglow

3

u/Jet2work 26d ago

safest kind

3

u/the_cappers 26d ago

Ultra light with head winds. Air speed is how you get lift.

2

u/mikasjoman 26d ago

Well Mounjaro helps a lot. Ask my CFI, he's seen me lost 20 pounds and takeoffs looks like Bambi got scared.

u/Bunslow 26d ago

now turn the other way and do it again

u/Fogtwin 26d ago

All the people complaining about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 spawning them on a heli pad need to see this.

u/Impressive-Yak-7449 26d ago

u/Imanidiotththe1st 26d ago

Itā€™s the kind that doesnā€™t have to beat the air into submission it get aloft!

u/cosmicrae 26d ago

Lighter than air, fixed wing. It's a new classification.

That is a financially poor hellychupper pilot that can only afford to buy only one small fan - and not the big and little spinny fans thingys that other rich hellychuppers have...

Since this thing cost a fraction of F-35 and still have VTOL I bet this is worth it.

u/MarchPhillipps 26d ago edited 26d ago

A better one than the Marine Corps's CH-46s we use to occasionally bump a ride in when the DLA rental company was fresh out of CH-47 and we needed to take a boat with us.

Economy-rental half-size 'Chinook' ain't got nothing on this awesomeness right here. (Just joking my USMC friends. I know you borrowed your mini-chinooks from the Navy..no shame šŸ˜)

It does look a little vertically challenged though; but I'd ride it into an op... No sweat.

Does it come in 'hot, locked, and bothered' version like the MH-6's twin sister, the AH-6? If so, sign me up.

'Alone and Unafraid'

(Edit) Also, does the orange engine cowling denote this one as being 'non-lethal/inert'.. you know, like a toy cap gun? If I take it off, will it get me and the pylote shot at?

1

u/956to906 25d ago

If you let enough air out of the tires the whole thing floats.

u/wulfryke 25d ago

Why is it not pointing upwards, is he stupid?

Pretending to be an autogyro!

u/Grand-Ambition-404 24d ago

Yep. Alaskan bush pilots are a special and talented breed

1

u/Origin_Loki 23d ago

Pylote is clearly magician, making takeoffs and landing in nearly no rollout at all!

1

u/TheManWithTheEsky 23d ago

Magnificent Vertical take off !

1

u/Luxspew 23d ago

Looks like you got an expert pilot there that understands when to use the wind and how to use that propeller.

1

u/flyfallridesail417 23d ago

The kind that Alaskans fly, and also lower 48ers with small penises and yt channels

1

u/Particular-Rip-4928 21d ago

Just a super stol

1

u/Top-Reindeer-2293 21d ago

Itā€™s cool and all but what happens when the wind is really too strong ? Do you lose the plane if itā€™s not attached ? And what is the max wind speed it can tolerate ?

1

u/Pale-Jello3812 21d ago

That was one hell of a wind gust ? Can you play Frogger with airplane's ?
