TEWKS Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Now you have to give that crew Props, um, I mean Rotors. Have a feeling that the pilot may have learned that maneuver in Afghanistan. Pat Link to comment
elkroeger Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) I knew a guy that was a national park climbing ranger. He was one of the fellas jumping out of the back of those chinooks. I remember him telling me about his first time doing that. The pilot thought those mountain climbers were all idiots with a death wish. And how he jumped out onto the snow. With his feet firmly planted on solid ground, he looked back and thought "Now THAT looks dangerous! Those guys in that chopper are gonna die for sure!" Turns out it is dangerous. All of it. From 2002: I think they deliberately use these maneuvers as training exercises, so the pilots don't have to learn that stuff in a war zone. Edited July 16, 2018 by elkroeger Link to comment
