I'm pretty active in the comments if you have any questions or check out my website for more about me and my work at www.stef747.com I am grateful to call Australia home and be able to travel by land and air across this beautiful country. I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Video Description

Flying in the incredibly capable and powerful twin-engine Bell 429 Global Ranger. A versatile helicopter that's used by the emergency services, search and rescue, and in our case - corporate charter flights. We fly across Melbourne and land at Avalon to see how this aircraft performs and who would be using the Bell-429. Thanks to Bell Helicopters for offering me a spare seat today. I was not paid by Bell nor is this an endorsement of their products. But I thought you'd like to see what this increasingly popular helicopter is like.
