Here's a narrated helicopter video with a takeoff from my summer base in Malaga, WA, a flight around Wenatchee and East Wenatchee, and a landing at Wenatchee Pangborn Memorial Airport. I've got the camera mounted above the front passenger seat (sorry about the vibration) and audio connected through the intercom system so you can hear my voice and all radio chatter but not the helicopter's engine or blades. The narration is pretty extensive: I explain most of the startup procedure (which is mercifully short because of the warm day), some of the takeoff and landing procedures, and a bit of the shutdown, which I explain but don't bore you with. Along the way, I tell you about points of interest and some things pilots pay attention to.

I hope you enjoy the video and that it answers some questions for you. If you have more questions, please leave them in the comments for this post. And if you're not a subscriber to the FlyingMAir channel, what are you waiting for?
