Watched a North Sea helicopter pilot in foul weather try to land on our ship. Hovered for 20 minutes to match the movement of the vessel then BINGO! She did it! Best pilot I've ever seen, and she got us all safely to the pub before closing!

[@dadams8086]

In 1978 as a civilian member of Seattle Mountain Rescue our team had to exit a helicopter out the back ramp on the north side of Mt Adams. While the pilot held the ship hovering with the ramp resting on the ice we exited and went down well off to the side before he left us. Unfortunately I had no camera. Those military pilots really deserve our respect.

[@01cissy]

We might have been around each other around that time. Was a UH-1H crew chief out of Ft. Lewis Wa, '75 thru '78. Did a lot of SAR (search & rescue) missions in the northwest. I agree with the pilots skills, sometimes a bit on the scary side !

[@dadams8086]

BB gun Spo Wa., Absolutely. Sometimes scary as hell. I believe the helicopter in that case was from Ft. Lewis. We could have been on the same recovery operation of a climber killed in a fall on the north side of Mt Adams. All you guys have my never ending respect for your professionalism, training, and sacrifice. Never liked helicopters though. Every time I was in one it was in a really hazardous environment.

The whole crew for these helicopters are phenomenal. From pilot, copilot, soldiers and maintenance crews. Without all of them, these ops wouldn’t be to easy. Don’t get me wrong tho.. the pilots are badass

[@garyroberts7592]

In 69 I was a gunner on a CH 46 where we had to do an emergency insert/extract of a Marine patrol that was ambushed and trapped on top of a mountain that was heavily engulfed in clouds. We were on this mission for 20 hours total as we had to wait for the cloud cover to clear enough to find them. An Army birddog pilot was the only person to have seen exactly where they were during the day and later flying all day he crashed while landing to refuel at An Hoa. We finally got the chance to find them about 1 AM and the only way to drop off our reaction team was for the pilot to drop the ramp level and back to the edge of a cliff with the whole chopper hanging off into the black void of night! I had no clue at he time at 19 yrs old the skill required of the 24 yr old pilot. We offloaded our team, loaded the wounded and flew them to Da Nang . We then had to return to recover our response team who'd also been ambushed after we left them. Same thing, hang off into the void while they ran aboard and we then unloaded with our 50 cal.'s and M 60 stinger off the ramp and got the hell out of there. That night in Aug 69 earned us a few single mission air medals and a DFC for our pilot and co-pilot, Silver Star for the crew chief! Just a day in the life of Vietnam vets.

[@Aviator.32]

@@bobuboi4643 At 4:53 the narrator calls the CH46 a Chinook. No big thing as it is quite common for people to confuse and misidentify these tandem rotor 'copters. Great flying certainly particularly for the Chinook crew when backing up to an upslope resupply or pickup. Great crew coordination and trust from the pilots who can't see where their aft rotor blades are.

[@tonygearon2890]

If you just watched the on board footage you'd think it was a drone! Amazing!!! That said, the expected lifespan of a combat helicopter if the Cold War ever got hot was from memory ~15 minutes. An epic pilot like this might have made it to 20.

[@REAL4wd]

Wow the Swedish GH helicopter maneuvers was amazing.

[@Aerusish]

0:13 BO-105 is a light utility helicopter, not an "anti-tank helicopter". 2:59 isn't a resupply but an exfiltration. 4:53 isn't a Chinook. It's a CH-46 Sea Knight. Swedish designation was HKP-4. 08:20 "There's a type of maneuvre that pilot's can use" implies that it is possible with any helicopter, which isn't true,as most helicopters wouldn't be able to survive the strain. The Westland Lynx was one of the first and few helicopters that can pull it off. Cool video tho...

[@jamescordova406]

I spent 2200 flight hours as a crew chief on UH-60 Black hawks and trust me most of this stuff is trained routinely. (Not the back flips though they can only be done for demonstration and I've never seen one in real life) but everything else definitely difficult but not uncommon. From my experience older pilots especially where great at making the aircraft doing some truly incredible stuff. The precision and nuanced stuff seem much harder to do for the average pilot. The deck landing made me sweat that looked fun.

[@toddhacker8867]

Deck landing isn’t that bad if the swells aren’t huge, but definitely can be a pucker factor.

[@babalonkie]

That last clip is a Military Lynx assign to the Blue Eagles, aerobatic wing of the Royal Air Force (Formally Royal Air Corps). I was under the impression ALL manoeuvres are "taught" for evasion or Emergency purposes but never deployed unless needed (If ever) and only ever practiced whilst taking part in a Insured manoeuvre or aerobatics demonstration event!?

[@3-2-1-.]

In '87 I was stationed at a US Army airfield in the middle of West Germany. One of the pilots, a CW4 Vietnam Special Forces pilot, took me out for a day flight in a Jet Ranger, OH-58. We took the doors off, because it was July, and he started up the bird. He looked at me and said, "This aircraft does not have wheels, so I must fly the aircraft to the flight line. I like to use the time to get comfortable with the controls. What I am going to do is fly straight to the end of the runway, at 12 to 18 inches off the ground, while rotating the aircraft in a clockwise rotation. Every time the front of the aircraft comes back to the end of the flight line it should be pointed at the same spot. I call this "Waltzing with a helicopter." He did exactly as he said he would. I looked back at the hangars and they were all stacked full of soldiers looking at us spin our way to the flight line. We took off and flew over Frankenstein's castle and then a tank gunnery range while they were conducting exercises, and got chased by a couple French Mirages who were being chased by a couple A-10s. It was a great flying day!

A lot of people don't understand once a helicopter gets the rotor RPM's up it is flying even on the ground, used to have to track Chinook blades in Viet Nam, had to get the rpm's to 130 for tracking.

I have a friend who is a metallurgist who often works for the US military. His main job is to examine structural failures mostly in helicopters. He said to me if anyone asked if you want a ride in a helicopter, so no thanks!! He said they are inherently dangerous machines and can fly apart at any moment. A 1$ bolt sheares and kills 11 people even though the bolts have been replaced under service guidelines. He says that helicopters are just bad designs.

[@HookerDude]

That's BS. I have over 2500 hours as a helicopter crew member (and I'm a design engineer) and have never been involved in a helicopter crash. Emergency landings, yes, but never a crash. However I've been in numerous automobile and motorcycle crashes. The odds of being involved in a helicopter crash are much lower than a motor vehicle crash. The problem is that helicopter crashes make news, Most motor vehicle crashes don't. Helicopters are wonderful machines but need to be respected and cared for way more than your car.
