Another great two-program DVD from Sporty's® takes your helicopter flying to the next level. In Advanced Helicopter Flying, helicopter instructor Don Fairbanks takes you into the world of commercial helicopter operations and demonstrates helicopter flight in hostile terrain such as snow, ice, high grass, water, etc. Our cameras put you at the controls of the popular R22 as well as many of the larger helicopters such as the Bell 222—which demonstrates flight in instrument conditions. See flight performance profiles of military helicopters as well as those flown by many Fortune 500 companies, including Sikorsky, Agusta and mcdonnell Douglas. Explore the latest technologies and operational considerations of turbine engines, stability augmentations systems, GPS, tilt rotor and tilt wing equipment, sling loads and more. Also includes regulations for the commercial helicopter certificate.

Don still looks a lot different back then. Today his R22 is gone(he is buying it back) and he doesn’t fly much anymore…

I bought those two dvd’s and was not too impressed .how it describes sling load and all the stuff on the back of dvd.then you actually watch the dvd and he talked for 20 seconds on-top of building and that was it no footage.I think Sporty s should take it out.
