Life Under The Disk
Welcome to Life Under the Disk — a behind-the-scenes look at the world of helicopter operations across Australia. I'm Damien Hennessy, a commercial helicopter pilot with nearly three decades of experience flying in some of the most remote and rugged parts of the country. Through this channel, I’ll be sharing real stories from the field — from lifting remote drill rigs in the Pilbara to bushfire response, long-line precision work, and all other forms of Helicopter flights.
But it’s not just about the flying. Engineers, ground crew, loadmasters, dispatchers, fuel handlers, and more. I’ll be sitting down with the people behind the scenes who make these missions possible. Expect interviews, firsthand accounts, tips for up-and-coming pilots, and stories that capture the grit, camaraderie, and purpose that define the rotary-wing world.
If you're into helicopters, aviation careers, or the incredible tasks rotorcraft perform across Australia, you're in the right place #helicopter #australia
