0:52 whoa it's so high whoa hey up there oh wow i am so excited i bet everything is gonna look really small from up there oh it's landing oh all right whoa i'm so excited all right now that the rotors are stopped why don't we go say hi

1:20 whoa whoa that was really cool hey who are you hi my name is doug i'm the chief pilot at magnum helicopters oh nice to meet you i'm blippi wow this is a very cool helicopter whoa how long have you been flying helicopters for i've been flying for 20 years wow 20 years that's a very long time do you know how many

1:41 hours you have flying helicopters i have over 5 000 hours whoa now that is a lot of hours whoa do you mind if i take a closer look at your helicopter not at all oh come on whoa what a colorful helicopter it's a color orange ooh and yellow oh and brown whoa hey doug what's this thing for that's just a step so the

2:06 passengers can climb up into the helicopter oh cool oh yeah and it looks like there's some seats back here oh and some seats up here whoa how many people can fly in this helicopter oh the pilot can bring four people with him if he wants wow cool and what kind of helicopter is this this is an md500 wow

2:25 md 500 whoa and up there i know what those are those are the rotors right that's right wow and what does this rotor do so the rotor it spins around like a big fan and it blows the air down creates lift and lifts the helicopter up off the ground oh cool so this main rotor creates lift so then the helicopter can

2:46 fly and there's another rotor back here that i know can we check it out yes sir wow yeah and this rotor is called the tail rotor whoa whoa and what does this do doug this can spin the helicopter left and right so it can face any direction that we want it to all right so the main rotor creates the lift and then this

3:07 rotor yeah makes the helicopter turn really cool oh and i know what that is that's the boom right wow and is this the number and letters of this exact helicopter yes sir they call it the tail number tail number and i have a fun thing for us to do do you mind saying this with me at the same

3:28 time all right all right let's do it n 3 5 7 m h wow awesome whoa what's this doug oh this is the engine back here you want to see yeah i'd love to all right this is going to be so cool seeing the engine of a helicopter whoa come check it out whoa i'm going to be very careful

3:53 because it might still be hot oh it looks very complicated whoa and back here look how dirty it looks this must be the exhaust whoa thank you so much for letting us check out the engine of that helicopter can we check out the front yes sir all right i'm on this way wait a second i know what these are

4:14 these are landing skids right wow why are they so unique looking compared to an airplane they have wheels and tires right right an airplane has wheels because it has to land moving forward on a runway and has to slow down but a helicopter can slow down before it lands on the ground and actually go straight down wow

4:33 cool so helicopters can go many many places because they can land and take off completely vertical like that oh cool whoa and this is where you sit yes it is on this side that's the pilot seat right there oh cool oh and what's this called this is called the collective oh collective i

4:54 remember that that's what controls the vertical lift right right makes the helicopter go up and down oh cool and this is the cyclic yes and what do you use that for that can steer the helicopter whoa cool and look at all those gauges what are all those gauges for oh we have gauges to keep an eye on

5:13 the engine also how high we fly and how fast we're flying wow they look very complicated you must be very smart wow and there's different types of helicopters right like firefighting helicopters like rescue helicopters or police helicopters and what do you say this is this is an air tour helicopter oh an air tour well

5:40 perfect i was actually thinking i could go for a ride around here oh and this would be a great helicopter for it because do you see the doors no you don't because there's no doors do you mind if we go for a spin that'd be great all right where should i sit i'll come around here hop in the front
