Short conversational transcript of a YouTube video by Kenny Keller showing a helicopter pre-flight walk-around. Speakers (Kenny Keller and Chris Hauser) discuss performing an exterior final inspection after moving the helicopter outside, list items to check (blades, fuel caps, cowlings, skids/landing gear), and include light, personal banter and a brief anecdote about damaged landing gear.

So Chris just got done doing a full pre flight. I was talking and looking at it too. Now that it's outside, you want to do your last walk around. Because you may have. When you're walking around like this, take a overall view of the aircraft. You can look for, do I have the cowlings closed? Do we have the fuel caps on, so on and so forth. Once it's out in the sunlight, it's a whole other view in perspective. So day like today, pre flight on the inside. But then once you get outside, and this is any time of the year, you pre flight the hangar, pre flight the helicopter. Then once you're outside, you want to get another view and just kind of take a quick walk around looking at everything. The blades, fuel caps, cowling doors and skids, landing gear. I have a story behind that one. One time too, where I showed up one day and on the instrument, we were flying and somebody had did something stupid. Nobody ever fessed up to it. And the landing gear was all whacked. And there's the man. Chris Hauser. Gonna go fly. It's a beautiful day. Just the guy who loves to fly. So we're all pre flighted. Kenny Keller says he lives and eats and breathes and whatever. Helicopters. Yeah. 30 Kenny. I would say I'm probably, like right here then, because I. If I can't take that saying, what saying can I have? I don't know. Oh, you have to. You'll make up one you get. You gotta get yourself a tagline. That's my tagline. You'll get one. Yeah, it'll just happen. You'll be talking all of a sudden, we'll go, there it is. There's your tagline. I like it. For Chris Hauser. Good call. I'll text you when I get safely back. All right, this second walk around. It looks good from here. Got 30 gallons. Take your time, have fun, and we will see you later. Hey, don't forget your cookies. Oh, yeah, I'll go and get my cookies.
