Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 If any of you are interested, tonight on channel 5 UK, Greatest ever machines, this week is about 10 greatest helicopters, Tom Clancy is also in the programme... Just a heads up thats all..... I forgot to add the time, its starts at 8pm - 9
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 ok, i watched it and it was pretty good, and needless to say that the huey came in number 1, as it should :) also i didnt know helocopters can go as high as 45,000 feet, damn, one helo specially designed is capable of going most the way up everest, and it says that most helos are capable of 10,000 at most, but this one pwns em, i forgot the name, but it looks like a bubble for the pilot and a tail that is made up of tubular frameing, looks old but highest helo in the world... all in all a pretty decent programme....
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 rgr that was teh one ;) nice pic, that r exactly what i was "trying" to describe :)
Skopro_PL Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 yeah as far as i know that helo was designed in Pakistan for rescue operations of climbers that got stuck on mountains there at those insane alts of 35K...its either this on of a different helo... | 8700k @4.9 | Gigabyte Gaming 7 | 32gb Tridentz @3000 | EVGA 1080 TI SC2 | CV1 | VKB MCG PRO [sigpic]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FeLGqKyJ3K08k3z-7XaegWgRuGRGkKUs/view?usp=sharing[/sigpic]
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 you are on about the right one, it did mention in the programme that the helo was designed for the pakistan airforce for high altitude monitoring of its border regions, so i guess rescueing ppl from the mountains would also be feasible for this helo....
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 My TV listing mag had a misprint and said "...including the Chinook, so big that it can carry 10 people". I was so impressed, just need to find nine friends and go for a flight in one..... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 wow 10 ppl, now thats a record for a helo, i never knew they could carry more than 2 :P
mikoyan Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 wow 10 ppl, now thats a record for a helo, i never knew they could carry more than 2 :P what about the mi-26 100 soldiers or 20 tons of load
BearF_CO_159th Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 The mighty Westland Lynx only at 5?? Thats a travesty of justice! Someone should fire the researcher if they think a Chinook can carry (only) 10 people!
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 what about the mi-26 100 soldiers or 20 tons of load me was being sarcastic ;) but yeah that helo was a BEAST, i seen it in pics before and it didnt really covey the size of it, but when it was on that programme, all i could say was DAMMMM that thing is huge, its a wonder it can actually fly....
