As a retired veteran and someone who has lots of flight hours in the Blackhawk I would like to thank you for what you are doing for the Veteran community. Would love to get back up in a Hawk someday 🖤
This is amazing! As a Canadian I admire the rugged aspect of American dreams!. As a parent of a young family I don't have the funds to pursue my dream as pilot, so my kids and I watch your videos and fly with you every step of the way! We love it!!! God bless America and your Canadian neighbour's!. 🇺🇲🇨🇦
Hey I can’t fly I am a Parkinson’s patient and I don’t have a ride but if I could fly I would really love to learn how to fly and be apart of your organization best wishes for you and yours…..you guys have a great time and fly safe please ."…."".
If it don’t fit -just buy another one!!🤷🏻♂️ A tape measure from Home Depot would tell you!😁It should fit-The rotors pivot to the rear to make it a lot narrower. A post Vietnam Blackhawk!! Ahhhh To be young and rich!! Trivia: 5000 🚁 helicopters were shot down in Vietnam!!😧11,000 were flown!
Wish you and your team a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! I so very happy to see all the dreams and hard work turn into such a GREAT experience for you! Keep on rocking and be safe brothers!!
SAS would be amazing as well as doing recovery work in remote places like a air crane I'm a crane operator and studying to become a air crane operator I would love to see what your team can do. My grandfather was a air crane operator my dad was a crane operator and I'm am looking forward to following in both of their foot prints. God bless you starks.
Everything you do on this channel you do on a different level, i think the veterans would love it, can you lift cars out of ravines would like to see you do that
that's so cool that you are going to do stuff with vets. I flew an a few flights in Germany during the 70's. that bird is cool dude. to those that have the honor to fly on it as veterans it will be in there stories for life. thank you to you and your crew.
its an amazing feat for sure man. so many cogs and gears to come together on this. I am looking forward to see how you can use this amazing machine with your recoveries and search and rescue endeavors!
Your a very awesome man Heavy D,my brother and father were vet's,God bless them, I know they'd love everything you have done,awesome accomplishment!!!(just wish they were here for a ride)
As prior service and a Blackhawk crew chief... I appreciate the work you've done with this girl. It's gorgeous and it's been great following all this. ❤️
God bless, I'm speechless! Kinda. It is so amazing, regular guy's doing regular things! (Dream's). Cool to stop at whistlen diesel's. Your vet program is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing you guys at an airshow. Full power!!!!!
Appreciate your support of Veterans as I am one. There are so many Veterans that were left behind after deployments in trying to rebuild their lives after a year to a year and a half away from family and friends and their support networks. It takes a great toll on their well-being to get started again. I can see your actions and support moving them forward. Blackhawks are amazing aircraft for sure. Spent a little time in a few as a Armour officer. Look forward to seeing how help Veterans, your community in Utah and others. Good luck in your future. Liked your FAA comments but I'm sure EPA is another story. Be safe.
Honestly man this is the most badass thing I’ve ever seen on the internet! And your mission behind the Blackhawk is amazing! I’ll call it mission Blackhawk for vets lol ! Keep up the good work
Dave: As a Naval Veteran (aviation-non-flying) and retired LE, all I can say is thank you for all you have done, are doing, and will do on behalf of veterans and the first responder community. You rock!
@floorsin bower Generally means that they will handle radio communication, operational monitoring and also perform supportive and supplemental tasks.. Hope that helps.
Thank you for your service to our country and the sacrifice you made while enlisted!.. I hope/pray that you and your family are doing well and that you/everyone will have a very Merry Christmas. 🙏🙏

I'm Canadian but wanted to take a moment and thank you for your commitment to your country, your (and your family's) sacrifice and your hard work. On behalf of a regular Joe citizen (again albeit from Canada). YOU rock too. Heather🇨🇦
Wow Congratulations on showing our young people about Dreams and what it takes to make them a reality. The Blackhawk is Perfect. You guys have done so much more than build Trucks. YOU MAKE AMERICA PROUD.. God Bless From Indiana
As a parent I hope you never change your format. This is one of the few channels I don’t need to worry about the content and as family we can enjoy! Nice helicopter!
Insanely jealous, it was a beautiful helicopter to begin with taken to the next level!! Great content as always loved following along on the journey, watching from over pond in the UK!
Love the idea about taking vets for a 'leisure ride'. I don't have a lot of extra money, but would love to help contribute some cash to maybe partially sponsor a flight for a vet. No particular vet, but I think it's an amazing idea and I would love to try and help in some small way.
Great video as usual!! I watched this with my 7yo video and at one point he looked at me and asked me “ daddy why are you crying?” I told him that when I was in the army I spent a lot of time in and around that type of helicopter and it brought back some great memories. He said so those are happy tears and I said yes son happy tears. Thanks for the video and your channel my son and I enjoy and appreciate all of it. Oh and nothing beats that Blackhawk rotor chop it’s truly its own beautiful sound ❤
Oh man, so happy for you Dave! I'm a hospice nurse, my vets are my favorite patients. We are loosing our history as our great generation, our WWII vets are graduating to the heavens. Its so awesome to see you wanting to honor our vets! God bless, this is why I support you guys! 🙏 please be safe, and oh, my favorite part of this, was the overhead shot in the hanger, and how this bad boy dwarfed the lil planes lol. I hope I get to see it in person someday. You ought to tour all the National and State Parks we have. Start in Garfield County we have the most lmbo. Wink wink 😉
Congrats on finally getting the blackhawk back. cant wait to see what you post with it next. id say you should head down to texas and do some hog hunting out of it with LunkersTV !
I love the fact that you went from having $500 in your pocket to being able to own your own Blackhawk helicopter. This just shows how hard work and dedication can really pay off.
@Louis Jr. what would you rather have him spend HIS money on? Considering they have been giving away trucks for years to people, I really hope you don't say "charities".
@yougeo I know he bought, sold & modified diesel trucks before getting to where he is now. I don't mean to be hating but it seem like he wastes lots of money on cars, trucks & boats etc. You would think heavy spending like that might eventually catch up to you overtime. Unless he's getting help from bank loans & Discovery.
THANK YOU! MUCHOS GRACIAS! For your thoughtfulness, kindness, generosity to share an air ride in PEACEFULNESS for our VETERANS!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! SEMPER FI! GOD BLESSES AMERICA, THIS REPUBLIC UNDER GOD!!!
Love the videos! I’d love for you to come to the airshow in St. Louis! Happens every other year and you know exactly how to get here as I see you stopped off at Spirit on your way back! Keep up the great work!
Wow, I"ve been in Aviation for almost 40 years and stumbled across your channel a while back. Military, Commercial airline pilot and I now fly Gulfstreams and I watch a lot of aviation related youtube stuff but this is the best I've seen. Cheers man and good work 👍🏻
❤❤ your tire has to be going to 600 miles an hour unbelievable I’ve been watching it since you started with it I wish I could’ve been there to see it when you said you’re the man that shit I really feel for you you’ve always been a truthful and honest person on the Internet here So thank you and have a good day
It would be nice to see lifting and moving training cleaning up the lake while the water is so low , but so what if a load is dropped it is trash anyways right
You guys are absolutely unique and I wish I had started following you sooner. I truly respect your humility and appreciation for those around you (including the FAA). I cannot wait to see you put smiles on Vets faces with this thing and if given the chance I would be damn honored to shake your hand and the hand of all your crew!!
I think you did a great job on rebuilding your black hawk it is truly a beautiful helicopter and watching it fly is amazing and the power of the helicopter is fantastic. Thank you for sharing you dream Blackhawk helicopter.
I love the fact that you described Cody as he is off camera instead of his film personality because people are absolutely ridiculously naive when they think that his videos portrays his off-camera/true-personality they don't realize that his videos are to entertain and not just videos of him being him I would just like to know how or where the budget for the video comes from as I am thinking that they are not cheap to produce but I suppose the cost is offset by the videos of him not breaking things or just simply talking and being his sarcastic self even his court updates probably make him a decent amount so I guess that kind of answers my question lol
Cody is also a marketing genius, his first Ltd run hoodie under his monster max brand was an instant sellout making 600k then his mulched skyline netted 300k in 4 hours, plus all his other merch on top of his TRvid earnings, and when you see him in other videos, he's always genuinely humble and a dow to earth human being 😊
I was a vet working on ground-based electronics, and I hope someday to see what it's like up in the skies. I think that's so awesome of you to offer to fly vets! Thank you!
Awesome job sir. Not a swinging man but seeing the Blackhawk take on a new life and knowing your goal for this t makes it a great bird with a lot of life in her.
Im watching this channel from Saudi Arabia 🌴🇸🇦...its always blowing my mind 💯👍🏻.... Such a Challenging team.... From trucks up to helicopter 😂👌🏻 its insane.. unbelievable...thank for doing what you are doing....its amazing in very Good way.... Hope soon you'll have 10,000,000 Subscriber 👌🏻 Greetings 🚁📬
Dude!!!! Congratulations on the Blackhawk!!! Also I wanted to tell you thank you and that Im very grateful for your kindness to others and willingness to give back, especially to our veterans. The veteran flying program you're working on sounds absolutely amazing. Thank you for being you!!! Your an absolutely amazing example of what a loving, giving and kind soul should be!!! 🙂
I think you should engage with Mike Patey and the Young Eagles in their efforts to bring more people into aviation, if you haven't already. Great channel and really nice helicopter!
my father used to fuel these babies up, on iwojima.. he really has a tough time even walking and is a disabled vet. this would be absolutely amazing if we could set something up... I would be honored and I know my father would absolutely love this opportunity.. personally I need to get away and go on a little weekend getaway, my mother and I are his caretakers, but mom also has many health issues specifically walking and I am trying to uplift and enlighten everyone in my household.. please pick an average Joe, because I know how amazing of an opportunity this is.. I personally want to raise veteran awareness, and this is a awesome place to try and start.. god bless, -Peter
Out of all the helicopters I've researched, the UH-60 is my go to helicopter. Most I've seen are around 5-10 million each. I've never seen anything that looks good when it's painted all black.
What a journey, not just this chapter but the entire book so far for you, your friends and family. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. A testament that desire, drive, determination, integrity and faith can make great things happen for all of us. We are looking forward to the next chapter and appreciate all that you do, selflessly for vets and the community. God's speed ;-) and good luck. Cleared for the option, maintain VFR. JV
have you been out flying since you got it back to Utah? I think I have seen your blackhawk up in the air twice since I have seen this video.... Hope you are having fun and putting some hours on that beautiful bird!!!
You earned this. Years of hard work. Quality of your shows and the honesty you put forth has earned you this. I wish you the best. I am retired Navy. Flown in many helicopters. Had a few rides in SH-60s loaded for war. I’m an old disabled vet now. Nothing but best wishes
That Blackhawk is the most beautiful Helicopter I have ever seen. She's perfection. And your channel you fellas make are the best thing on TV and i love the fact that my grandson's can watch it and I don't need to worry about what will be said. First class. Keep doing what you are doing because you are doing it right. 👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
Dave, I have always loved Blackhawks and the love and care that you show your viewers and the people involved in this project is amazing. My uncle is ex military and he has been in them in the more stressful situations. I highly appreciate the fact that you want to give veterans rides in a non combat situation. That as well as everything you do comes from a big heart and that is very rare in these times. Much love to you and all of your friends.

You know, there are so many things about this project that are radical and badass.. Though, what I am most powerfully left with is a great sense of inspiration and living life to its absolute fullest, while building friendships and community along the way. God Bless America!
I've heard many times that money is the root of all evil and i've never believed that. The money doesn't matter, it's what you do with it. While i love the fact that you've managed thru your business dealings to get to the level of wealth that you have, i'm more in awe of what you give back. So many people with wealth live day by day worrying about how they can make their next dollar. You live day by day trying to come up with new ways to use that money to give back to others. What you are planning with giving veterans rides in this beautiful blackhawk is just one such thing. Man if you have a bank account the size of a truck then your heart must be the size of a mountain. You are both an example of what a person can accomplish if they put their mind and effort into it, and an example of what the world could be like if everyone just took a little time and effort to give of yourself and help those that need it. I'm a veteran myself and the love that you constantly show for this great country and our vets and men and women currently in uniform is a beautiful thing to see. I hope that all of your ventures go as well as this one has and that God continues to bless you for being the kind of man that you are. You are shining example of what the American dream is meant to be like and can be like if you put your heart into the things that bring you joy. God bless you and God bless the United States of America.
I'm retired now but my former employer Carson Helicopters is designing new redesigned MRB's for the Blackhawk. They will be built at their facility in Perkasie, PA. They have one Blackhawk being used as the flight test bed. They did the same for the H-3/S-61 Sikorsky helicopters.
As a USMC combat veteran, I can not express how much you and your family and team respect and honor our nations veterans. You guys are amazing. Hopefully I can meet you guys and go for a ride sometime.
Dude! Your outlook on things is refreshing and incredible. I can’t wait to see veterans take a stress free, enjoyable flight in the black hawk. I respect your entrepreneurial journey. Keep it up man. Thank you for what you do
