I was fortunate to have been flown on both the Black Hawk (over a dozen times) and a Chinook choper (a couple of times). Both quite sturdy and reliable. This was back at Fort Campbell in the middle 90s

You should see the British Pilots extract SBS operatives from the water. They drive the boat straight in the Chinook! First people to do it also.

Why is it that no helo video I've seen never mentions static charge build-up by the rotors? It can knock you on your ass when attaching the lift sling!

Your Video Is very much interesting because you show us the Modern air vehicles. Thanks a lot the great video. A wärm greeting from TImor Leste.

I wish different nations use modern machines and technologies to rescue and make a better life for human being instead of waging war and causing destruction to the planet. I pray for peace in the world. Amen

Yes it's a very useful function. Check out the MASH series. A comedy series about The Korean War. hahahahaha Suicide Is Painless . . . especially if BJ Hunnicut is your doctor. Unfortunately my doctor has lost his patience (patients ???).

This helicopter is amazing. Accelerating at 2000 MPH... They should scrap the F22's and Euro fighters. Loser fighter jet planes. LOL

55 passengers? 14,000 lbs, I'm not sure those are correct numbers lol. Maybe the fox models are different, but the manual states 33 passengers, in emergency situations I know they take 126 passengers, men and women, with children in their laps (pakistan flood relief 2010). As far as sling load 24k tandem hooks
