Holy crap.

Boys and girls, do NOT attempt this at home!



That's nuts.

I am pretty sure they practice that. Now with the sides of the mountains makes it a lot more difficult though. I have seen pictures of Chinooks picking up soldiers from rooftops like that.

 

[indyninja]

practice or not that is incredible. you can also clearly see why those things have been nailed by RPGs

That's just awesome! I've seen stuff LIKE that from my fiancee's cousin, but not like THAT. My cousin who just got back a couple months ago said they do train for these types of scenarios and the training is pretty intense. He wouldn't go into details, but def'lly confirms the training! From what I've seen and heard this is the tip of the iceberg in kickazz sheet the army's been doing!

Thanks for the awesome video!

Trust me, I wasn't trying to downplay his skill, just pointing out that he has practiced that kind of manuever (though not exactly like that) and wasn't just like "hey check this out". It is amazing when you consider the level in which our guys are trained and the things they can do and make it look soooo easy.

 

[Fenway]

I don't think that is your average helicopter pilot. Those look like SEALs and the pilot is probably from the 160th SOAR "Night Stalkers"

I'm sure all helicopter pilots in the Military are great but who ever was in controls was probably one of the best we have.

Now that is some kick arse HOOAH! sheet!!!!!

 

[SavageEagle]

oh i wasn't refering to all the guys in general as far as the piolt training. but some of the things the various branches do is amazing. I'll dig around on my hdd and see if i can find those videos...

 

[strongcrow]

That was some nice "parallel Parking"!!!!! good job.

 

[flagtag]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! WOW!!!

I was in aviation when I was in the Army. You should see Chinooks drop off Rangers in a lake or river. They actually flood the bird, and the Rangers motor out in their boats.

About the only thing I can think of, that I could even attempt to try ,,,,, that would compare to that, would be to try to back my pick up ,,,,, into the garage ,,,,, while blindfolded ,,,,, and relying on someone in the back ,,, to tell me what to do ,,,, over a radio ,,,,
probably would make for a good sitcom show opcorn2:

That's typical military helicopter pilot training. The pilot isn't doing that by himself. It takes the crew chief in the back guiding him in and relaying instructions to the pilot over the intercom. "Thirty feet to go, left 6 feet, down 10 feet, back five feet, right three feet, down two feet..stop hold."

Wouldn't that technically be called motorboating?

Whoa! That was so COOL! One wrong move and they all could have been riding in that "boat", and the chopper could have been on it's way to the bottom.

I'd still rather have been a fighter pilot dogfighting in the skies
