thank you for your video, I'm the winchman aircrew on this helicopter. I keep a good remember about this medical evacuation. It's rare to operate on a big cruise ship and all the aircrew are plaisantly surprised to see people applaud.

I f#%$&ng love this helicopter (NH90) most beautiful helicopter ever.

[@peteyca]

Great looking helicopter!

[@benoitnadeau5845]

It's quite impressive to see a NH90 flying. It has an availability ration under 40% and requires close to 30h worktime per flight hour, so it does not happen quite often!

[@nakostyfoon]

I couldnt agree more. It's even worse with the Greek NH90s

@@benoitnadeau5845 not yet, but propably. Its expensive, I dont know if this may be a good choise. Maybe more Rafales would be wiser. But then again Uncle Sam gets his way most of the times

Thanks for the video.....I was a passenger on the ship in July 16-07-13 to 26-07-13 and witnessed this rescue by NH 90....I believe were somewhere in the English channel off the coast of France at the time?

Oh French Naval work awesome

[@geoffpearce1891]

top crew well done

[@klk1900]

So all the hoist work I’ve done the flight mech/crew chief would have aborted this hoist no doubt. Some moron had the trail line pulling it with 50lbs force and had the litter vertical. This is something we just don’t do unless we are carrying them up stairs. One it’s traumatizing to people not adapted to heights. But it’s simply unsafe. The purpose of the trail line is to stop spins and offset hoist work. But this looks like two things. Either #1 a total goof ball is on the trail line. Or #2 a total a** hole is pulling it so the head of the litter will clear the bottom of the aircraft. But it’s un called for the flight mech or hoist operator should be able to get them clear of the aircraft without risking dumping them out.
