- Texas Motor Speedway November 2009 delivery by a US Army Chinook Helicopter!
When I shot the video, I was unaware of what was about to happen before us all. Several months after shooting this video and posting, I was contacted by one of the pilots friends. The Pilot was shot down and died in Afghanistan. The pilots father had never seen him fly; my understanding is they showed this video, at his funeral.
Many folks have said in the comments that this was done via Computer Graphics. It wasn't . I was sitting near Turn 1, with a Panasonic handheld HD video camera. Except for the first few frames and last frames , i have not altered this video.
For those naysayers that continually say this is fake .. CGI.. just move on

"The Pilot was shot down and died in Afghanistan. The pilots father had never seen him fly; my understanding is they showed this video, at his funeral." God bless that man and we thank him for his service to protect our freedoms.
Was shot there defending who? Not you or anyother American, but someone's interests.

Not American enough, need some f-16 following it.

And fortunate son
@@thelaotianaviator what?
Pengin punkin Fortunate son is a song made by Creedence Clearwater revival
Nah we need some mother funking F 22 Raptors that’s more American!
I had to rewind this video when I heard the announcer say (the copilot) Bryan Nichols' name. His son and I knew each other many years ago, and my uncle was one of Bryan's best friends in the service. For those who don't know, Bryan was killed in action on August 6, 2011 after his chinook was shot down by Taliban fighters with rocket propelled grenades. The crash left 30 Americans and 8 Afghanis dead, marking the single costliest day for the United States in Afghanistan. I did not expect to find myself reflecting on these things when I tuned into this video.
Still, I am delighted that this fantastic clip has preserved a bit of what Bryan did, and I am extremely grateful to have stumbled upon it.
WOW... thank you for putting your words here! God Bless our military and Patriots like Bryan that have put their lives on the line for the rest of us... God Bless
Man, so sorry man. I hold anyone who served in the U.S. military on a very high pedestal, especially if you sacrifice your life in the process.
I cant believe these guys are the ones who were killed in extortion 17, the greatest single lost of life for Naval Special Warfare Command as well as the greatest single lost of life incident in the US military in the war. I literally just re-read about extortion 17 like a few days ago, and now I coincidentally watch a video of the pilots and crew of that Chinook.
Rip Bryan you will never be forgotten because of people like this sharing your heroism and story
God Bless you and Mr. Nichols’ family. We all appreciate your commitment.
R.I.P to the pilot
?? he didnt died
@@ManzarSahil read the description.
@@ManzarSahil read the description please !
@@ManzarSahil please read the description and bow down to him 🙏 please 🙏🙏😶🌫️😶🌫️😔😔😔🙏🙏🙏🙏😓😥
Ah the description just changed the vibe, RIP
Amazons new same hour delivery option.
Zero Nice!
PRIMAL!!!
Holy shit your right lol
if a chinook was coming to my house from 4 states across it would take about 4-5 hours i dunno ;-;
Imagine an chinook or a mi-36 delivering your super car infront of your house.
Condolences to the pilot and his family. Rest easy brother, Never forgotten.
Best chinook pilot of the decade award
Heli was just like my dad. He came, made people excited, then off he went forever.
🥺
Did he shit out a Camaro too…? Or just have 4 men inside him?
Your father was just going out to get some milk.
@@Penfold101 Gave him the good ol "1-2" with that one.
@@Penfold101 this is supposed to be a sad comment bro!!
Alas. I couldn’t help but laugh.
"Who ordered a large slice of freedom, with a side of democracy?"
This is the most American video ever made
Agent Bill Wilson more like most Texan vid made cuz us texans r crazy
Naaa, it lacks of weapons and soldiers saluting american flag...
Sure with a brutish helicopter
the chinook is an american helicopter you fool
Agent Bill Wilson sure, the chinook is of American design but it’s heavily influenced by the far earlier Bristol type 192 Belvedere. Which was of British design.
I was half expecting the driver to start doing doughnuts on the track after he got off the helicopter.
DaBlazeMann sammmmeee
DaBlazeMann saaaaaaaame
Accidentally read it as helicopter doing doughnuts
Saaaamee. Sorry i’m a bit late
Kort mok FELT THAT
RIP brave pilot. Now you have wings of your own in heaven 🙂
FedEx and UPS have nothing on the US Army overnight delivery.
Ironic as they landed next to a UPS logo print
such a waste of tax dollars
@@HeyYoFabels cry about it
@@HeyYoFabels Agreed.
They also have immediate shipping which involves long range artillery fire…
I edited my comment so now you will see people randomly arguing in the comments.
@WHY NOT JUST STOP THIS GAY SHIT ? shhhhh, dont ruin it
@John Doe don't Camaros use Holden Platforms?
@John Doethey did when they brought the Camaro back. They were using a Holden platform. Idk about the newer models tho
That's the most American thing I've ever seen
@John Doe yes... I know that... I mean the image of a car being dropped off by a military chopper
The only way this could get more American is if the Camaro driver was a bald eagle eating an apple pie in jeans
lol love it!

What's more American than making someone elses idea, invention, etc to the level of excellence.
I just learnt so many things I've never known by reading that comment. I love it.
Lol don't forget the baseball cap too
Inhalin1514 Just curious who that's directed towards?
That was awesome, don’t understand why it’s on my recommended 11 years later lol
Because it's awesome. That's why. The algorithms are not selecting recent uploads only. Don't know why this is confusing to so many people.
army guys: "ahh, there's that camaro i signed up for"
"She's not a stripper ! She's an exotic dancer... AND MY NEW WIFE!"

he died?

I think this is him
@@user-ed4ff3vf1o sounds like it.
My deepest condolences
Rest in peace to the pilot,You are one of the coolest pilot ive ever seen in my life
The Yanks do things in style. Very impressive. Hats off from this side of the pond.
Sadly, Great Britain's one and only dedicated oval raceway, Rockingham, closed recently, which is a tremendous pity.
Condolences to the family and friends of the pilot and crew who made the ultimate sacrifice. Respect.
It's really a waste of resources.
@@squidusn71 I can see your point of view but in measured amounts for suitably large occasions I suggest such a spectacle is good for promoting national pride and as a recruiting tool for the American military services.
Listening to the commentary their air base is fairly local so it wouldn't have been in the air for too long.
@@alangood8190 I can understand the publicity which I'm not against by any means. The Poster of this video believes that this type of spectacle is for training purposes which I find it ignorant on his/her part.
The air time maybe short but what the public don't see are the amount of time to prep/preflight/manhours, logistic, idle time before take off, and post operations. It is ridiculously not cost efficient.
The money would have been better spent on your health service which, from a British point of view, is a national disgrace. Why do the American people put up with it?
@@alangood8190 We have many ignorant citizens that doesn't vote or many ignorant voters like the OP of this video who thinks this is training.
R.I.P. To that brave pilot.
(Read the description)
(His name was Bryan Nichols by the way)
Indeed. Do we have a name for the brave soldier?
I Like To Bike damn that’s sad. May he Rest In Peace
Yes I know his name. I did drill weekends with him and that whole crew.
Daniel O'reilly I think the people would like to know his name.
CW3 Bryan Nichols. Not day goes by that i don't miss all the guys from Extortion 17. When i first heard about the flight being shot down I sat down and balled like a little kid. It still hurts to this day.
Sorry to hear .. didn't realized he'd passed ;(
Massive respects to the pilot, RIP
Rest in peace to the pilot🇺🇸
I think the crew died too. They are the ones killed in extortion 17 I think.
That.... was ..... epic

Arrogant European
Yo but the actual race car vissible in the right close to the chopper is a lexus
No this is clearly not Europe and most definitely Texas. The same idiotic state that has lifted the mandatory requirement to use masks in the midst of a pandemic that killed more Americans lost to any war. Yes, I'm glad to be a European.
@@andrewjones-productions think u need to look at the numbers again. states who had minimal to no mask mandates still have less deaths then states that had/have hard mask and lockdown orders
@@andrewjones-productions your entire continent relies on US military technology and protection you clown
I come 11+ years later to give my internet-salute to the men and women who have served and are serving, and that I don't forget the great things this nation has achieved has been because of the sacrifices made by our military personnel.
Thank you
Most expensive delivery of a Camaro EVER recorded.
This is how i like to see my taxes spent! BADASS!

@@HotCakeX You think every individual soldier has a say in their orders? There are always two sides of a story, to which one your brainwashed by i don't really care, but you taking the time just to disrespect someone who is passed on doing what he believes is right is just sad.

"Need a delivery, General?"
They're speaking of Col. Hurley on the intercom, this was when he was JUST selected for NASA. He flew on the Commerical Crew mission with spacex
NO this is NOT a waste of taxpayer money. This crew would have already been scheduled for training, and the military loves doing unusual stunts like this just because the unusual stuff is always the best training. Not often that reserve air crews get to land in a heavily populated area with 2,000 pounds of cargo and hazards all around such as the high fence. Besides, even if they did not deliver the car the crew would still have been flying a mission that day so you would have been paying for it anyway. Plus its excellent advertising for the army reserve, guarantee a bunch of kids and teenagers are gonna see that and say "That would be the coolest job ever". Who knows maybe some guy saw this and joined the army reserve and actually helped with the hurricane relief in Texas.
It's a good way to cast new kids for the army... sick country
2000 lbs ???? LOL
ok 3,700 roughly. I hate the camaro so i never bothered looking up the weight. A 3,700 LBS piece of shit is still just a piece of shit.
The aircrew was killed 2 weeks later
Besides, we did pay a lot of money for that stuff so I want to see what I am buying. We let you pay $100 million for a jet, you flippin better fly it over my head once in a while and let me hear and feel the power.
UPS my ass! I'm getting my car delivered by chinook!
MRIgnoremeplease / Gameover_gaming ups delivers cars?
I bet you they would if you paid them enough!
I was there for the race. brings back memories. The chills and the noise when it came in and landed. Just awesome. Yes there was a fly over as well. It was the ultimate in American pride!!!!
president harris says there will be no more of that!
So sorry, but that can no longer happen :/
Apparently America is now evil for some reason and SJWs are hell-bent on destroying American values for their none-sense
"This is America."
Me: "Yep. Story checks out."
I want to get to school like this!

I.....
Will never go to school

Fact check true
Who said he died?
Lmao
the description is going to have me in tears. Rest in peace.
You just earned a subscription. I read the bio and the amount of respect you have is something everyone needs. We often take for granted all the good stuff we have thank to our military. RIP pilot
_We often take for granted all the good stuff we have thank to our military_

Rest In Peace Captain! :(
awww read the description 😓 Rest in peace, thank you for your service.
-"Dammit I'm late! How am I going to get in the race before it start??"
(Looks at the picture of when he served)
(Gets his cellphone)
-"Bill... Do you remember that favor you own me? Yeah... I gonna need today..."
Hahaha this is a genuinely fun comment.
Lmdo🤣🤣🤣
D is for drawers. ( NO HOMO)😂😂
That was fricken awesome. God bless and thank you to ALL who serve.❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
Nobody reads the description R.I.P
I watch RUclips mostly from my Xbox so I end up missing almost every description. I saw this one's after I shared it.
*** Freedom Isn't Free **** wtf is that mean. bombing Afghanistan buy your freedom I guess. fucking dumb idiots
Literally dozens of comments about the deceased pilot.
worth my tax money
DANIEL OMING SR yep
DANIEL OMING SR they made alot more than they spent
DANIEL OMING SR, what about their ear drums tho
@James thanks I didnt know that
Didn't expect this video to hit so differently so quickly. R.I.P Bryan Nicols. You will be missed.
Rest easy, pilot. You were such a good helicopter pilot.
So long. 🫡
Thanks RUclips algorithm for daily dose of America.
2021 and I still remember this
Very touching addition to the description. I'm sure that father cherishes your work
Wow, can't believe he's gone😔. R.I.P sir! Another brave man who gave his life for his country. Other than that that was the coolest delivery of anything I've ever seen! This is why I LOVE American racing.
I still have my 2010 Camaro SS. I have lightly warmed it. Nothing crazy, just bolt ons and a tune. It continues to be 100% reliable and is still the most fun car I have ever owned.
Definitely "Style".... Nearly had to have my beer held for me while watching it, absolutely stunning !!!!
I'm happy this video comforted grieving family, my condolences from Finland. o7
My condolences to the pilots family
I fell sorry for anyone that didn’t serve. The experience lasts a lifetime! GlennFHoward Navy 67-71 +2

This pop up on my feed for the first time in years. I served with CW3 Nichols and all the guys on this flight. Not a day goes by and i don't miss the men who died on Extortion17. My they Rest in Peace.
Me too, Dan. I served with Bryan and Mary before he left for flight school and did a deployment with them. All of those 31 are heroes.

Awesome Husky I would have to agree with that...
PYROWORKSTV yeah, now go live in china or russia and say that again zulul
e30kitty lmao Germany has started world wars that the USA didn't want to be a part of but had to. By the way they came in and kicked your asses upside down. But what can you expect from a country that massacred millions of innocent people for no reason other then world dominance. Ask your grandparents they will tell you to shut your mouth about USA because they will come in and burn your entire city down over night.
Sir, the car you ordered...
Just ran across this, thanks, Been to TMS a few times, Never had a delivery like that.
Turns out from what I can tell from the audio announcer, the guy driving the Camaro is Doug Hurley, the same Doug that launched on SpaceX’s DM-2 flight. That’s pretty awesome
They were playing the theme from Delta Force! Pretty epic!
pretty much doesnt get any more american than this
it will be better if it was a B52
Nolan Huck or a HARRIAR, that would be epic

That is dope. (About the car). Learning what happened to the pilot after reading the description is very sad. In a way though, you were able to give the pilot's father some relief, by showing his son flying.
R.i.P Bryan Nichols. We will always remember you.
(If you're confused, Bryan Nichols was the pilot on the helicopter. A few months later, he was shot down and died in Afghanistan.
You mean helicopter?

@@seagie382 ?
They say big things happen in texas
The military probably wrote it off as a cargo drop-off practice training session. The "training session" excuse is how we got to see the SR-71 pay visits to various air shows, despite the immense cost of flying it. They'd fly a training mission and make the fly-by(s) a part of it, usually on the way back to home base. I saw it at the Reno Air Races that way.
EXACTLY ..... :)
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the video quality from 2009?
Next one: Nascar driver delivered by f16‘s ejection seat
:p
The nose up attitude to stop any forward flight is insane in that machine
I've always been impressed by that particular style of heli, so cool. And sorry about the pilot, that's really hard to hear, especially for the dad 😕
Thank you for your service, pilot. RIP.
Oh man, I hope the father is doing OK.
Rip pilot. Truly American o7
Army does cool shit like that
Rest in peace to the fallen warrior. Much respect and keep flying brother
By far one of the best videos on RUclips...ever!!!!
