The Chicago Police helicopter is circling around the South Suburbs tonight.

Well, I got offered a flying job this summer flying an MD 500 #helicopter. He'll even send me to a turbine refresher course.

I'm just worried that I'm too rusty to fly safely. It's been nearly 2 years since I flew.

*NEW VIDEO* Yesterday, London Heliport.

Like many #helicopter #pilots, I learned a simplistic rule of thumb for avoiding vortex ring state that didn't teach me much about its underlying causes and risk factors. A new accident investigation report from New Zealand's TAIC does a lot to fill in the gaps. I wrote about some of the key #aviation #safety findings for Vertical Magazine: https://verticalmag.com/news/new-zealand-accident-report-sheds-new-light-on-helicopter-vortex-ring-state/

Dashcam video from the Robinson helicopter flyover today.

I'm experimenting with using Handbrake to convert a MOV file to MP4 in a size that will work online.

Back in the day, we had an Easter Bunny with hard-boiled eggs. Kids these days have a helicopter dropping treats.

A scene from a celebration at Merrillville's Pruzin Park this afternoon. A Robinson helicopter drops candy to kids at the park.

Last Sunday: Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas Spotted Arriving by Helicopter Together in London

No, not a romance… Director Doug Liman was also there, they are working together on the project “Deeper”.

Most people think of #helicopter rotorwash as a steady flow, but it's actually quite unsteady, as this cool animation from a new UK CAA study shows: https://youtu.be/YHIIL-AQ6ZI

For The Air Current, I wrote about the study's implications for the #eVTOL industry: https://theaircurrent.com/feed/dispatches/caa-report-evtol-downwash-sophrodyne-update/
