This video presents extended post-restoration test flight operations of a rare Egyptian Government VH-3A helicopter, focusing on sustained hovering, repeated takeoffs, controlled approaches, and precision landings.
Following a major restoration, helicopters like the VH-3A undergo detailed flight evaluations to confirm flight control response, power margins, stability, and overall handling. This footage captures those critical phases in real time, offering an authentic look at how a historic government helicopter is assessed after returning to flight status.
The VH-3A is a VIP and government transport variant of the Sikorsky S-61 / SH-3 Sea King, a legendary helicopter family introduced in the late 1950s. Known worldwide for its role in presidential and state transport, the VH-3A served with select governments—including Egypt—in high-level missions. Very few examples remain airworthy today, and even fewer are seen performing active flight testing.
This Part 2 coverage emphasizes operational flying rather than ceremony, allowing viewers to observe rotor wash effects, hover stability, landing technique, and pilot coordination during repeated evaluation cycles. Footage like this is rarely documented and provides valuable insight for aviation enthusiasts, pilots, engineers, and historians.
