My CH-46 finally flies!

My CH-46 finally flies!

Getting a military-surplus helicopter ready to fly is one project. Bringing it home to the shop is another, and Dave Sparks has reached that part of his CH-46 story.

HeavyDSparks drew roughly 931,000 views across the channel in a day, about six times its usual daily pace. Alongside that surge, "I Finally Flew My CH-46 Phrog Home to Utah" passed a million views just two days after publication. That is a milestone for the flight video, not a count of how many views it contributed to the channel's busy day.

The CH-46 Sea Knight is a tandem-rotor helicopter, with a large rotor at each end rather than the familiar main-rotor-and-tail-rotor arrangement. In the video's description, Sparks recounts coordinating the move from the cockpit while the crew prepared the shop for its arrival. The upload follows the flight over Utah's rugged landscape and the landing on home turf. It includes a paid sponsorship.

Stuck excavators, buried dozers and a stranded school bus feature among HeavyDSparks' most-watched regular uploads. This time, the big machine gets airborne. A follow-up posted the next day, "My CH-46 finally flies!", keeps the helicopter project at the front of the channel.
