UH60L Blackhawk Engines Start and Takeoff

[@sjladuke75]

Always in awe of these incredible machines. Love watching them fly over my house towards the local base. My son's been an Army Black Hawk pilot instructor since 2010 with several deployments. It takes a toll on the body after more than a decade. Great video!

[@carlosgtey]

My dad was a Huey pilot in the Army and when they were decommissioned he transitioned to the black hawks for the last 20 years of his career and loved every minute of it

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Helio stuff. If these type of videos interest you, let me know. I've been thinking of making more helicopter videos.

[@duganson4227]

YES! Ive dreamed of getting training. Do you pillot yourself?

My twin has been taking these apart, inspecting and rebuilding them for 15 plus years as a civilian. He has a opportunity to be a crew chief again on the Blackhawk. He started his career back in 90 on the Huey. I am so proud of his accomplishments!

[@mikegallant811]

I would tend to think so, especially for Antisubmarine Warfare. All it needs for that is ASW Torpedoes, Sonobouy dispenser, Magnetic Anomaly Detector or a nice dipping sonar, and you're good to hunt enemy submarines 😊.

[@patricks_music]

Ooh yeah I love the sound of those engines and rotors. Such mechanical marvel. Also, you're pretty cool for being so close to those rotors whipping around like that. I would never feel comfortable that close.

The fire extinguishers are for putting fires out on people. It's part of the crew brief. Let the heli burn

I miss these. Hubby was a Blackhawk IP after being a UH-1 door gunner in Vietnam Nam. I was fortunate enough to go up with him at Ft. Campbell as a civilian “potential jump team member” in 1989. I got air sick but it was worth it. 🙂

I was working for Sikorsky when they were announced the winner of the UTTAS competition against Boeing Vertol. I worked for them for 33 years including a two year stint in Israel.

Watching a bird you recently worked on hits differently. I see y’all A-Co

[@rolloverriderpgr]

Old Army. I've been on Hueys and Chinooks but the Blackhawk is after my time! I'd love to experence a flight in one. My scariest flight was on Okinawa in 72. Typhoon Rita was coming back for a second hit on the island and my team had to go to the north end of the island to recover some high $$ signals equipment off towers used for Vietnam comms. Conditions were marginal at the best but it had to be done. I could see the altimeter and it was doing up to 500 ft drops and climbs!!The pilots looked like they were playing drums they were so playing those collectives! The 2nd Lt next to me turned greener than our uniforms and hurled! I watched it come out hang then return and soaked his ass! Pilot had us open the door so the rain could wash some of it out of the AC!! There Is NO rollercoaster built that can imitate that flight that I have found yet OR the climb up a metal tower that was twisting like a shoebox! When you get back ya gotta pull some strings and take me flying on one!!

Fly O hahaha...reminds me of the time our Charlie Model gunship in Vietnam started itself when the battery switch was turned on. We were both like WTF!

Cool video. I noticed the stabilator was like the one on the UH-60A (my baby) instead of the Seahawk stabilator I see on the "L" models from the 101st. By the way, back in my day (1983 - '91) we never got to fly with the cockpit door removed.
