SPECIAL OPERATIONS MH-47G CHINOOK 160th SOAR NIGHT STALKERS (AIRBORNE) USASOC • RAF MILDENHALL

[@margobaxter8344]

Great footage of Ops, from what was, an exceptional stream. Always good to see the Chinook...even if "video bombed" by another aircraft! 😆. Thank you Ted 👍

[@TedConingsby]

Oii oiii Margo, glad you liked that shot of the KC-135 with the MH-47 Oohh yeah

[@Kevin.odonnell]

Oh absolutely yeahhh!!!! This is excellent stuff. Love the night stalkers. I call my self the 260Lb Night Snacker in homage to them!

[@TedConingsby]

Oohhh yeah

[@IanWright72]

SOARS,Night stalkers,wouldn't want to meet them At Night..Great work @ Nikos and Ted Coningsby OOH YEAH 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhhh yeah 🇺🇸

[@andybakr]

Definitely my favourite helicopter, thanks for being there Nikos and Ted 😊

[@TedConingsby]

Thanks Andy

[@ellesee7079]

I'd like to extend a very, very warm welcome to the Nightstalkers, because whatever they have in that rather intimidating looking wokka, I really wouldn't want any part of it being pointed in my direction!

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhhh yeah thanks Ellesee

[@DougBrighTan_o7]

Awesome footage of the MH-47G Chinook 😊😎

[@MrEcouncillor]

Brilliant our son tracked them on flight radar from mildenhall last week and saw three fly high over Putney bridge !

[@DanielWalkersteros67]

I rather like the aggressive look of this Chinook. Great to have the SOAR on our shores 🇺🇲 🇬🇧. Thanks for bringing a few toys 👍😍 too show us.. Whomever was at the controls, that pilot can keep it still, level, you did it so well. Smooth.. that's what you need when it all goes off. Can you leave it at Mildenhall? Love that sound, love it! Wokka wokka! Excellent stillage footage Nikos.. Can't beat a Woka for entertainment. Don't need to know its armouries.. Great info accompanying the video. I love input..

[@TedConingsby]

Oii Oii Dan, doesn’t this just look mean, threatening and intimidating… nightstalkers… a name to go with the aircraft

[@sie50]

Another rare sight at Mildenhall courtesy of Ted and Nikos! This MH-47G Chinook really does look imposing and there are some serious flying skills on show here too! I certainly wouldn’t want to be their target.

[@TedConingsby]

Oii oiii Si thanks man. It’s sure does look imposing, menacing and threatening. Salmon protected

[@EP65]

Mean machine. Great capture Nikos

[@TedConingsby]

Oii oiii thank you

[@ZAKKANWAKKAR]

Saw two of them over my house the other day in company with an RAF Chinook.

[@BabsR]

Wow this looks very intimidating, not sure if its the colour or design but wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of what it is capable of delivering. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@TedConingsby]

Oii oiii Babs, yeah it has a mean look, scary looking

[@Delatta1961]

Good morning from South Carolina, USA. I instructed Black Hawks for 21 years, and these are maintenance test flights, and engine health checks

[@TedConingsby]

They are indeed

[@colnago6501]

Currently based at Leuchars. They've been here since the end of last week which has been great. Popped off to Spadeadam for the day, then came back super low over the Fife coast in the evening and got all tucked up for the night. They'll no doubt be out again this morning (unless they managed to get a round of golf booked at St Andrews).

[@alangates5634]

Special WOKKA WOKKA Loved this clip

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhh yeah

[@charliescott3624]

I heard this and 3 others coming over my way. I live in Longstanton and it was a beautiful sight to see!

[@beccamay736]

Love these helicopters. Such beasts! Ive always been fascinated with them since a little kid

[@TedConingsby]

This is an awesome variant of the Chinook

[@debbiebrooks2716]

What a magnificent Chinook wow gave me goose bumps and to see it here at RAF Mildenhall with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, 160th SOAR nicknamed the Night Stalkers. hope we get to see them again at Holbeach in the future that would be so cool. Many thanks to Nikos and Ted for a brilliant day and many thanks to RAF Mildenhall.

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiii Debbie, this is simply the meanest looking Chinook ever and flown by the Nightstalkers makes it even more mean. Love it

[@gazof-the-north1980]

This Superb Helicopter is in a League of its own. It can fly in conditions that would ground our Chinooks.

[@Trav-ij]

So cool. Nighstalkers Dont Quit!!

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhh yeah

[@ManuelTorres-gd5jp]

I believe that the Army's put in for 5 new spl/ops. I worked for a company that made the Transmissions. We made special one's with latest up grades for all 5 along with all Accessories.

[@ManuelTorres-gd5jp]

I got my training in Greenville South Carolina for the T55's engines.

[@jondonaldson6047]

always amazes me how the two blades look so close but never touch.

[@michaelmiklosofficial]

Saw this fly over where i live (UK) and thought that is one long pole.

[@jamiam23]

Bet Ted wants one for Christmas

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhh yeah

[@th420.]

Bro how do you know when there is going to be activity at these RAF bases? - I've been to countless basses but never been lucky enough to see the aircraft in action.

[@TedConingsby]

We don’t, it is pot luck

[@ilovemygoodvehicles]

nice

[@sneekyblacktiger]

I wonder what is the 160th SOAR doing across the pond…🤔🤫

[@TedConingsby]

To see Ted

[@RetJetFxr]

Training with the SAS? Who knows. They don't (I hope) perform actual missions in the US.

[@jbeene9574]

If only that helo could talk, the stories it could tell…

[@briancrawley8440]

Is that a refuelling probe?

[@TedConingsby]

Affirm

[@robihobby9490]

😲👍

[@beepeeify]

Lovely

[@TedConingsby]

Ooohhhh yeah
