Spectacular ..... to say the least.
How to fly and how not to fly (crashes, and perhaps remind yourself that the real thing could be a flying coffin at any time)
My favourite clip
(I'm a newb with no feeling for steering a heli and with no feeling for the fine craft of acrobatics so I get bored by acrobatics)
is the clip you find when you search that webpage for the word "semi", and then advance yourself to the second such "semi". The scene there shows a BO-105 skimming along a stretch of forest floor within inches off the ground and wind itself thru a many km long stretch of forest opening at breathtaking speeds.
The pilot must know that stretch inside out, and I imagine it must be a privately owned stretch of forest, to be able to clear that stretch from deer and humans that could otherwise show up unexpected for the pilot.
Quite the site.
Another favourite clip that shows neat flying is

By the way, the Red Bull videos are beautiful. Very smooth flying. You can find them when you hit the original link in the previous post and then search the webpage for the keyword "red bull"
And ..... >> Use your very best headphones <<
My best headphones are SONY MDR-V600 (bought on ebay for ~ $US80 -- It's worth the trouble of getting them headphones)
