- Aftermath of the CH-53 Emergency Landing by Dog Beach in Del Mar, California. The Helicopter took off from the beach and landed after a quick flight to the Del Mar Fairgrounds for further diagnosis and repair.
These things are absolutely solid I once flew from Bahrain straight across the arabian gulf in one these to get back to my unit. I've never felt safer or had such a comfortable ride. Im british and would like to say thank you America for allowing my country use of your awesome shit
Thank you for your service!
Hello brother! Thanks for saying that! If you ever come to Texas, I'd love to have a beer with you!
Thanks Brit for being a faithful ally, BTW you’re welcome for the ride, that is.
First of all, the beach that can support such a massive aircraft is amazing itself!
That thing is massive. I remember preparing for the Haiti operation in 94. We were staging out of GITMO. Our medevac company was in support. Getting Blackhawks broke down for C-5 airlift is a pain. Doing it at night is almost possible. Multiple seal teams were going in first. They had 10 of these running up when Clinton finished brokering a deal. I had never seen so many pissed off Sailors/seals in my life. Most of them have aerial refueling like this one with the extended boom on the right side.
I think all of the primary training is completed at Ft Rucker. Then the pilot students from the navy go to advanced aircraft training.
I worked with a fellow while an engineer at Boeing. He had been in the Navy and hated helicopters. He had some interesting stories:
He was on a helicopter that landed on a beach. While taking off, he saw a plastic bag blowing around outside the helicopter. The first thing he thought was "Oh S**t." The bag immediately got suck into the engine intake. They lost power and fell about 10 feet back to earth.
The helicopter he was on was coming in for a landing to an aircraft carrier in stormy weather. The chopper hit hard and while he was looking at the radar screen, it blew up sending glass shards into his face (this was in the day they used tube type CRT screens). While getting ready to evac him to shore for medical attention, he found out he was going to be loaded onto another helicopter. He got so riled up and combative, they had to sedate him.
While cruising at altitude, one of the new crewmembers asked where do they go to the bathroom. They told the newbie to pee out the door. The resulting spray came back around and right into the pilots window. He had some choice words.
woahh! was interesting to read thanku🙏
damn
The helicopter couldn't take off for a long long time simply due to the huge gravitational pull of those dense balls that person had...if you look closely u can see light bending there
Rubbish needs to get to temperature
I expect that at any minute, it turns into a decepticon.
@@JollyCaterpillar Which is a variant of the CH-53
😂😂😂😂😂
Used to work on and crew some on the CH-53 D' model " Sea Stallion " in the Corp back in the early 80's. The Echo models were in qualifying design test flights when I got out. This might be an F' model design or later? Sure brings back a few memories! We always said if it ain't leaking hydraulic fluid somewhere then don't fly in it. Lol. Good solid tough and durable Sikorsky aircraft in the right hands.....Semper Fi
From your comment about the hydraulics I'm guessing you were 6153? (I was).
@@502bbb No 6113 brother.
If it don't leak it must be out of fluid. 53D in HMH 362 81-85, 53A HMT 204 85-88
I know this is 2 years later but thats an Echo model
@@502bbb
I was hydraulics man also.
In the mid and late 70's 6055 was my mos.
Might have changed it some years later. Think they might have combined hyd and metal shops after I got out
great. missed that taking off part. anyway still an interesting video.
+Spencer Mosher just a little upset, I'm not blaming. in fact I'm grateful people like you upload some cool videos. thanks.
Unfortunate that you missed the initial APP light off and engine start, but understandable, given that the standard procedure is to start all engines with the rotor head locked, then start the head spinning once all three main engines are up and making torque, thus there's little or no visual indication of when they're going to start cranking engines.
FS2K4Pilot where have you heard that...i promise you are mistaken
I VERY MUCH doubt that I'm mistaken, since I spent four years working on that very helicopter type as an Airframe Mechanic MOS 6153. A locked head start is the standard start up procedure per NATOPS, and in my four years at HMT/HMHT-302, I can't recall ever personally witnessing an unlocked start.
Rotor head locked? Locked with what, a gust lock?? Lock it where??? The TTO is the only reasonable place to "lock" it, and that is when it is shut down. Perhaps stopped with a rotor brake? Do you have any idea what kind of torque that gearbox is producing and what forces would be unleashed if you just "let it go" after putting power to the head???
Absolute beast of a chopper.
CH-53 (Sea Stallion) vs. CH-53E (Super Stalliion)
We still just call them 53s.
When I was a kid in the 50's, I was in the hospital for an operation and afterwards read my comic books. One stands out. It started with a scene of a jet and a helicopter on the first page and I was thinking too bad for the guy who had to fly the helicopter, low and slow. Where's the fun in that? A few days later, against doctors and mothers orders, I slipped out of the house to play war games with my friends with our cap pistols.
Many years later, I had the pleasure of playing in the SE Asian War Games and what did I fly? Helicopters. The flying part was a lot of fun. The shooting part not so much.
best part is missing from video
Laundry change by the crew needed after the flight, ya think?
I know. The video guy, like me, must have been thinking "this thing is NEVER going to take off" and shut off the video. The suddenly BOOM!! it takes off.
Machine gunning the civilian onlookers? Yeah that's what I thought too
All that time and energy in making the video, only to screw it up.
Love watching the waves roll in.
I love how it’s dried up the sand in its wash
Um mega super helicóptero, belo vídeo, parabéns
Flying soo smoothly. Flying beauty
Best view of take off missing
NIce! Am i Crazy, or is that a vintage paddy wagon at the public line?
Always impressive to see the Stallion. They are rock solid when I have flown in them.
Those EAPS THO!!!God damn I never get tired of that sound.
In the late 60s aboard the USS Guam ( LPH-9) we had six of these, along with 16 CH-46s and o couple slicks from the Marine Air Wing- but these were the most fun to watch take off and land: especially from the flight deck.
i dont think anyone gets just how big that rotor is
How big is it?
79 feet exactly in diameter, and the tail rotor is twenty feet across.
I was expecting a reply more on the order of "it is so big that...."
Well, it DOES make ten foot waves when hovering over water, so it's that big at least.
Wait until you see the CH-53K
Why is the liftoff cut?
things a beast
Used to work with the guy who went out there to "fix up" this plane. Was an issue with the main gearbox that forced the landing.
I loved this aircraft until I messed with them for 4 years. I have mixed feelings about the 53 now but no aircraft is perfect so its a solid good helicopter to me. I can say this I think I prefer it over the Osprey.
Fond memories of My Plt mounting out on another Bug Hunt from Lang Co Vietnam on the South China Sea 1968 USMC 👍🏻🍺🇺🇸
Bird is the word
The whole crowd are standing in the path of a shedding blade !!
Yes 100% correct
Reminds me of that scene in EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS where the flying saucer is sitting on the beach next to the ocean...
Esssss
Waassasaooooooi
Whyyy You cut video just before take off ? Whyyyyyu
The best is missing
Did they get a chip light?
Notice how 3 crew members got off? Pilot said "I don't know if this thing's making it back, and I ain't taking you down with me." I flew on them 20 years ago. Not the most reliable birds in the sky. Things haven't changed.
That was maintenance folks that were brought in to troubleshoot, or passengers. Probably as a precaution they had them drive or ride another bird back. I never had a flight where we set down in any place other than an LZ or helipad. I had two precautionary landings to check out a broken latch and metal chip warning light (indicating the possibility of metal chips or shavings in the gearbox), none were found....If you haven't seen the new K model, check it out...FSSF (Forever Shitters, Shitters Forever)!
They're not in flight suits so more than likely they're not air crew. Birds taking off usually require someone from each shop for troubleshooting. Avi, Air Frames, Ordnance, and Flightline, which is the crewchief and/or Aerial Observer (AO)
Years ago, during Bear Hunt 83, I copped a ride with HMM-165 I believe it was on a hop that picked up some engineers that were to be taken out somewhere to build something. Shortly after picking them up, the number 1 hydraulic boost line over the pilot burst dumping hot hydraulic fluid on him and the co-pilot. We set down in a ROK Army compound fairly hard and rolled to a stop short of the soccer goal and the power line behind it. Needless to say, the ROK soldiers came out with loaded rifles pointed at us as the engineers bailed out the ramp. I just sat there watching and laughing, they thought the bird was gonna burn.
A short time later, the general over the whole exercise landed in his Skid asking if we needed anything. A replacement line was on the way already and we were waiting on it. The maintenance crew replaced it, the pilot signed off on it, still soaking wet with hydraulic fluid, we told the ROK soldiers goodbye and flew off to drop the engineers off and RTBed. Even after that, I still wanted to earn my wings which I did once I returned Stateside. Emergencies happen, you just hope that there is no water beneath you at the time. ;) Phrogs forever.
@@reddog1500 Back when I was a crew chief on CH-53D's, two pilots and a crew were all that was required for flights.
That's sooo cool I love these kinds of stuff❤
3:15 for the takeoff!
When the sea stallion takes off, it does not lift itself from the Earth, it pushes the Earth down and out of its way.
Imagine how much fuel it burnt up just to get past the gravity of the dense sand and the hillside
Love it... Absolutely love it!!!
Big beautiful sob . I keep waiting for my ship to come in .
but all that ever comes is the tide .
If its not leaking somethings wrong i would for sure trust this one because they had a leak mid flight probably the safest ch53 in the fleet
What a beautiful day at the beach
what a nice detail to do not have the part of the takeoff.. i just wanted to know how it did with the sand, at that moment
Um armamento bélico impressionante .
Many a rides on the helo!!! Hell of a ride
CH 53. Beach takeoff.... all good. Where is the takeoff?
I suspect Holland because the Dutch Military did C130 takeoffs Tests there as well.
Wow. that's a awful fast Start up & take off for something with 3 Engines to start!
The 53 actually normally does a locked start, i.e. the rotor head is locked in a specific position by the rotor brake/rotor positioner while all the engines are started, and once all three are in the green, then and only then do they dump the brake and start spinning up the rotors.
And there's actually four engines to start, the first actually being the Auxiliary Power Plant, which is necessary for starting the other three engines. It supplies the hydraulic power to start them, among other things.
wath the fuck its taking of at 3:16
This helicopter made an emergency landing due to an oil problem and they fixed it right there on the beach. I'm sure it was because they were making sure everything was OK before taking off.
Suzuki SH -the liftoff is classified top secret....can’t show it ;p
Awesome sight ! 👍
*Glorious beast*
Why edit out the actual lift off?
這台直升機對莫拉克風災
有很大的幫助
and kids, thats why the house in the old photos was painted white and why we painted it green
THREE TURBINE MODEL. - SERIOUS EQUIPMENT
Holy @&%!- I believe the ocean waves were reversed during liftoff
Well, yeah, that thing makes a 75-85 knot downdraft from its rotors when it flies. All that air has to go somewhere.
O Dr Rafael , o senhor poderia explicar sem enrolar tanto , né. Fiquei sem paciência , bastava ele dizer qual é o método pra resolver o problema, simples demais , só que fica dando voltas e não explica..
THATS A BIG HELICOPTER
Giannis Gasparis Sikorski pav low III
they had to "WOOOOOO" at the end...
imagine like fucking up the takeoff when everybody there is watching lol
Reminds me of playing Choplifter on the Sega Master System II all those decades ago when your annoying little evacuees wouldn't get in the damn chopper. Then you thought they were all in and you take off and there was one guy behind the chopper.
I saw this I was working in the condo when it came over the top and it landed
Grindor Decepticon🗿
damn love that heli
Смотреть с 3:14
This is two minutes from my home and never knew about it.
Isn't it a sea stallion ?.?
That is one heluvacopter
imagine falling on the propellers or that one cuts you at that speed 💀
Over 50 Million dollars for that Whirly Bird!
3:14 takeon
Blackout in disguise look at him go.
EVILMORAN blackout is a pave low
Its grindor
@@chaiyaa2times622 grindor is also a pave low
@@titansboytc false, Blackout is the MH-53 Pave Low III, while Grindor is a CH-53E Super Stallion.
@@chaiyaa2times622 my bad I as looking at the toy of grindor and basically the same as blackout
Wonder if they got a chip light? These birds are amazing,. The downdraft from the mail rotor is 64mph, that's nearly hurricane strength. Watch what happens to the ocean when they ready to go,
Tanto esperar para que en el instante justo del despegue cortes esos segundo valiosos. Decepcionante.
es verdad.
0:23 why’s the helicopter making that high pitched sound?
Transmission noise.
Van Tran oh ok, so all helicopters do that or not all of them?
That was the EAPS (engine air particle separator) blower turning on. It's to help keep any sand or debris from getting sucked into the engine. If you listen closely you can hear three of them coming on.
@@bmaz390 yeah i could hear them closely lol
Bonito y grande el aparato.pero como puede sonar asi .es un ruido infernal.arcaico y fuera de todo rango .de contaminacion acústica.
Oh Frank! You missed the best part!!! Clipped it out pickin' ya shorts up?
Camera issue right as it was taking off so I was able to hit record a few seconds after it started lifting off.
Leave my bloody sand castle alone.
Awesome bro👍
What a beast!
I always came out of these covered in hydraulic fluid. Bad ass machines.
True, I had many pink t shirts
Why the cut?
Wow, I never saw anyone pull the pins and how about the tail skid?
They couldnt get the pins in due to how low the strut was sitting in the sand.
For a while when I was in, we had the pins safety wired in place, and they just flew gear down the whole time, after a bird mysteriously sucked up its gear while it was still taxiing on the ground.
Pensé que había aterrizado en arenas movedizas ... No levantaba nunca ... 🤦🇦🇷
Why the weird edit right before lift off?
What a beast. I'd love to have a flying fortress to rap from. "Top of the World like whoa!"
I believe that’s an MH-53, has a refueling boom.
Missed the best part...blades just start to bite into the air
And the 53K King Stallion is even MORE powerful and impressive!! Go Sikorsky 👍🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
Why the Chopper Cabins are not pressurised???
Not necessary because they don't normally fly high enough to need it.
very nice video my favorite helicopter off all time 😊😊
Such a long run up and then missed the takeoff
3:10 - Pilot se asi ještě potřeboval vyčůrat a tak raději odešel ze záběru kamery. Vrtulník je plně automatický a tak potom odstartoval sám.
Imagine being flight crew walking around in bad country.
this thing is realy heavy!!didnt want to take off
That was just the pilot being careful. Undoubtedly he or she was concerned about not kicking up any more sand than absolutely necessary. I was a mechanic on those birds and got to fly the simulator a few times, and I can tell you that that bird has A LOT of power, and it WILL get off the deck in a big damned hurry if you need it to.
Had the pleasure of riding in them quite a bit on the way to destruction.
Always loved hearing the EAPS come on.
Former 6153 here. For me it was the sound of the engine start motors, and that great big, smooth, bass drone that it made when they cranked up to flight RPM and added collective to let the droop stops disengage. But then when they'd lower the collective back down afterwards, the sound got more rough, choppy, and helicopter-sounding. If you have a good woofer, you can hear what I'm talking about from 1:00-1:30.
Warum??
The helo just created a sand storm.
Estava demorando tanto para decolar que parou de gravar, já era o vídeo 😅
Der wichtigste Moment fehlt.
This helicopter reminds me about Transformers
so what we actually got was 3:15 of a chopper on a beach, then a jump in the film and a chopper in the air above a beach..... not a take off at all
Shut vdo. Badly awaited the smooth take-off
