US Army 160th SOAR MH-60M Black Hawk and Three MH-47G Chinooks Startup, Taxi & Take Off 12Apr24

It's the only channel where I enjoy every video I watch. It is very exciting to see the 160th SOAR teams up close. I'm just wondering, do they use this airport only as a refueling point or do they have another mission purpose?

Thanks for watching @serkansaygin! Lots more to come. The 160th SOAR typically stop at TRI for about an hour to allow the crews to rest and to refuel their aircraft. TRI is located near the mid-way point between Ft. Campbell and the NC Coastline. They travel back and forth on an irregular basis. I haven't been able to discover a pattern to their travel plans. If there is more to their stops at TRI, I am unaware of it. Cheers!

Would i see 2 ME 109s starting and taking off.

Getting two Me 109s taking off would be a tough one to get. There are not a lot of 109's flying. But I will be on the lookout for the opportunity to catch them flying! Cheers!

Very cool footage, I've always had a fascination with all military aircraft since I was a kid, but particularly with the helos, and even more particularly the Night Stalkers. I recently watched an interview on the Shawn Ryan show with Alan Mack (he flew Chinooks for the 160th in Tora Bora, operations Anaconda and Redwings, among many others) and he described the different variants of the Chinooks from the 47A (Vietnam era) all the way to the MH-47E he was flying in his career with the Night Stalkers...that dude's flown (and crashed) in some hairy stuff! But do you know if the MH-47G is now the latest and greatest version? Seems that way if you're going alphabetically. Anyways, thanks for the awesome footage, I suppose I've watch enough videos by now I might as well subscribe. 👍 Cheers!!!

Hello @MrStkrdknmibalz9799. Thanks for checking out my videos. Lots more to come! The MH-47G is the latest version of the Chinook that I am aware of. But will all things aviation and military connected, another new version is likely in development at the moment. Cheers!
