Description
The Bell 206 Helicopter Sound FX Collection contains exterior and interior stereo audio recordings of turbine starts, shut-downs, fast and slow pass bys, hovers and interior flight. Recorded close up, medium and distant for flexibility and variety.
Recorded at a small, quiet airport on a beautiful day in North Idaho. Some of the Broadcast WAV sound files are recorded with a Zoom F3 which was the first time I used this recorder for helicopters and was very impressed.
Detailed metadata and UCS categories are included.
WIKI: The Bell 206 is a family of two-bladed, single- and twin-engined helicopters, manufactured by Bell Helicopter at its Mirabel, Quebec, plant. Originally developed as the Bell YOH-4 for the United States Army’s Light Observation Helicopter program, it was not selected by the Army. Bell redesigned the airframe and successfully marketed the aircraft commercially as the five-place Bell 206A JetRanger. The new design was eventually selected by the Army as the OH-58 Kiowa.
Special Thanks to Brian & Ammy Jorgenson from Timberline Helicopters, Sandpoint, Idaho.
