The V22 needs to be retired. It's a very dangerous air craft, it has caused so many accidents.

[@JBeastss]

That soldier at 10:38 having the time of his life glancing the nature wish I was him 😁😁😁

[@shawnthegreat4281]

I hope this list wasn't in order. 😮 I served in the US military for 10 yrs two combat tours as an AH-64 D Apache Crewchief and worked for the Department of the Army for eight years at their Army helicopter depot in their fight test department working on and flying just about every helicopter in the United States inventory to include most of the aircraft on this list. Then I have worked in the UAE with aircraft that are from all the major militaries in the world. I can tell you for a FACT the Apache is the best helicopter on the planet. This is not me being biased this is just the reality. The AH-64D/E are the best helicopters in the world in any category you want to use outside of carrying equipment or people.

[@gginternational.8868]

I love and will always love the black Hawk. Will love to own one someday.

[@SKRIMEGAMINGYT]

I love the Apache. Regularly see them where I live in England. Seeing the new E variant now as well,

Didn't know the Osprey has a rear-mounted mini gun 😅

[@chev2500hd1]

the idws is on the bottom of the fuselage. all mv22 I've been on has had a tail gunner

[@jennifersman7990]

It always surprises me that the Osprey is still flying, it seems like whenever there’s a crash involving military aircraft the Osprey’s involved. Maybe they finally sorted out the problems with it

[@CCM1199]

I flew in the V-22 Osprey and was the DZ NCOIC at the base camp I was in when deployed to Iraq. They are loud as hell when they are approaching and will shake the entire building for sure. Its going to be sad when the Blackhawks are retired

Isn’t Marine One a Sea King helicopter and they have been flying since the late 50s ? I know it’s not frontline equipment but still in heavy use.

Are the helicopters Crooked joe left in Afghanistan included in these numbers? Thanks for the video.

[@joehuestis652]

Another thing about the AH-1Z Viper.....it is among the Fastest helicopters at 250+mph, can mount AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and can be equipped w/ a mast mounted FLIR like the Longbow Apache.

[@shafqatkhan973]

It's wonderfull killing machine .

[@JoshBryan]

In a dive, perhaps. No military helicopter gets to its max velocity when at combat loads. Especially in the environments we’ve fought in lately.

[@joehuestis652]

@@JoshBryan So you're commenting on an aircraft's performance w/o knowledge of said aircraft? Plus , a Combat load wasn't even mentioned only speed performance...you sound a bit like a novice.....maybe a sideline soldier or you get your "combat experience " from video games or airsoft/paintball battles? I recommend not commenting about things you're unfamiliar with.

[@JoshBryan]

@@joehuestis652 let's compare flight hours in military rotary wing aircraft, shall we? I've got more time in a 180 auto than you have total time.

[@joehuestis652]

@@JoshBryan Wrong, I was a crew chief in a Search and Rescue helicopter trained for USCG S&R Missions....so I know a bit about Helicopters my friend. Plus DoD/DHS Security Contractor Instructor/Operator and IED recog/CT Instructor for DHS personnel. I'm familiar w/AH-1Z as I'm acquainted w/ several Viper pilots. But when you say "perhaps" as you did in your first response you're clearly guessing.

I never knew the Osprey was as old as i am i thought it was atleast from the 2000's

you're right but the first flight is never consider because mass production and develop take years and years.

UH-1Y Venom in 8th place

[@dukenudibranch6414]

I had a huey fly in low over me at Camp Pendleton during Recruit Training. You can watch them flying down in a valley and come up in elevation until they fly right over you. I'll never forget it.

[@mimcquee0311]

The Cobra's first flight was FAR before that of the Apache...must be an Army pilot doing this video..yes, where is the UH-1 Huey?

[@USMilitary_Defense]

The final UH-1 was retired in 2016.

[@OscarZheng50]

RIP UH-1, it served its role honorably in Vietnam

[@rlhauk3715]

The UH-1 Huey continues to fly as the UH-1Y. It is the oldest of all current military copters.

[@265justy]

The UH-1N still in service with the USAF... Y model with the Marines... The UH-1 is far from retired. Only in the army..

What isn't said are the stealth variant helicopters that the CIA and special ops use. If they're not talking about that then you can just imagine what's in the pipeline at Bell labs and sikorsky helicopters

[@TheDustysix]

The V-22 is not a Helicopter. On occasion it can VTOL and Hover. But alas it always crashes like an Airplane.

[@white-dragon4424]

It's also not all that old, being introduced in 2007.
