I was in the Infantry and I have flown in these helicopters under these circumstances. I can tell you it is a hundred times better than any roller coaster ever
I remember when i was in a combat aviation unit and when everyone was asleep i was still awake pilot looked back and asked if everyone was asleep i smiled and said yes ans that is when he did a drop and scared everyone awake and continued flying we laughed so hard.
Typically, the commentators here missed the most significant part which was at the end. The push over. Helicopters hate zero and especially negative “G” maneuvers. That push was closer to the edge of the envelope than anything before it.
As a AH-64A driver, that is wing over , it's not difficult, well maybe to a spectator. It's also know as Hammer head. For attack helicopters it known as quick return to Target.
Do it in a Chinook, which was designed to fly straight and level, and I'll believe you. That's as silly as not being impressed by an Apache hauling a 15,000 lb payload.
That was not a roll over. I saw a chinook actually roll completely over, after which it fell apart in the air and crashed to the ground. This was in Vietnam on Phu Loi airfield. The rumor was an enlisted crew chief got a Dear John letter from his girlfriend or wife and decided to end it all in an exhibition of glory.
Just curious what unit you were with in Phu Loi and what time frame? It’s a small world because I to was at Phu Loi when this happened. The details you speak of are the exact ones we heard in my unit. How weird is that?
@@peterlewellyn2389 welcome home to you as well! I was in Phu Loi from Oct 70-May 71. I was with D Co 46th Engr Bn. We, my company, was set up over by the POL location, stuck in between two artillery units. That was fun! Note the sarcasm😂. Myself and another guy were sitting on top of a bunker and saw that Chinook fall outta the sky. We heard the story later on and I’ve always wondered if it was true. Darned small world out there! I did road repair from Lai Khe north all the way to the border. Also, worked on the road, QL 13, up to Phuc Vinh. Crazy!!!
If he were smart, he should have refused to take part in that flight. For one thing , he is not needed for such a dangerous display. He would have just added to the list of crew killed in a very possible accident .
Maybe an extreme yaw, but not a rollover. Can you imagine the forces on the main blades when maneuvering like that? Isn't there a potential for "mast bumping" when bringing your end over like that?
Awesome catch ! I'd love to feature this content in one of my videos , would that be okay ? Of course , link back to your original video will be provided in the description. Thanks !
There are obviously a lot of people here who have no understanding of the aerodynamics and maneuverability of Chinook helicopters. Trust me (a Hook flight engineer with over 2000 hours) when I say that the maneuvers shown here are not unusual, though mostly done at airshows. The video title is misleading.
@@Cyba_IT remember though, the Chinook can lift 26,000lbs at sea level...so that's way more stress being applied to the blades unlike here. But yeah, doing a rollover in a Chinook is something that most pilots won't think of doing. LOL!
Being a student helicopter pilot that something you would NEVER do in R22 or the R44!...aircraft must be specificlaly designed to handle that load and very skilled piloting technique.
Omg dudes! This is not a rollover. It’s called a wing over. How could you mistake it for a rollover. It’s so obvious! How do I know the difference, because I’m just copying what the experts are saying in the comments. I came here by mistake.

If you think Chinooks are big you gotta check the Mil Mi 26 Halo...

In a two blade teetering rotor system that push over could result in a tailboom strike.
@@mikee9065no it cant
Actually, he did a fairly common maneuver called a "wing over". That's a lot different than a roll-over. This method keeps the bird from stalling.
In fixed wing flight, that is a stall turn or perhaps a wingover. No one rolled over.
Thank heavens... I thought I had blinked too long or stroked out and missed it 🤪
Hammerhead
But is this fixed wing flight?
@@celtisafricana4984 I watched it several times and still missed it.
@@CobroxYT No, it isn't Fixed wing are other aircraft such as fighters, etc. This is rotary wing.
I was at Waddo that day and I'm still convinced the pilot was drunk. Nobody in their right mind would have thrown it around like that.
I couldn't believe it.
I'm no Mechanical Engineer...but I wouldn't want to fly on THAT helicopter until the rotor heads and blades were replaced.
@@PacificAirwave144 ya, that's some mad flying... but ya... I would think
he used up all the service hours in the rotor heads...
@@zbeast because of the negative g’s?
We train for it here in States a lot.

That WAS NOT a ROLLOVER. Banked turn, but NO ROLLOVER.
....you tell them slick
Helicopters fly using witchcraft. But this sorcery is at a new level.
Amazing flying and amazing machine 👍

Not a roll over but incredibly dramatic flying.
I have never seen a Chinook do something like this. Jaw dropping, geez. 😮
All I know is that the flight engineer on that flight should never have to buy a friggin drink again!!
VERY VERY SKILLED PILOT

THATS FRICKIN' GNARLY AWESOME .......
That's a good shithook driver.
My brain couldn't process what I was looking at
Thanks to all the Mavericks on the roll over correction.
Your welcome Slider.
"Goose" here...... you're welcome 😊
My crew chief palms are sweaty...after over a decade of not even touching a helo. Good stick!
You have to give props to the "slide rule" engineers of the time. They got it right.
Yep.
A CH53 did that in 1966 in Long Island sound. Right near where they were Built @ Sikorsky. I got 600 flt hrs in a D model. Twist & Turn/ Crash & Burn.
Maybe an extreme yaw, but not a rollover. Can you imagine the forces on the main blades when maneuvering like that?
Isn't there a potential for "mast bumping" when bringing your end over like that?
Fully articulated rotor system...eliminates mast bumping.
It takes a special set of balls to do this in an aircraft you can’t eject from.
That would be called a “return to target”..
Awesome catch ! I'd love to feature this content in one of my videos , would that be okay ? Of course , link back to your original video will be provided in the description. Thanks !
Sure please link to my original video
When does it roll over?
It doesn't. Misleading title.
That’s amazing
Roll over its a hammerhead stall the oldest stunt in the books
Thats a lot of weight being slung around ! Great force on rotary system
There are obviously a lot of people here who have no understanding of the aerodynamics and maneuverability of Chinook helicopters. Trust me (a Hook flight engineer with over 2000 hours) when I say that the maneuvers shown here are not unusual, though mostly done at airshows. The video title is misleading.
Love the tandem rotors. Beats a single rotor model wasting power on a tail rotor.
The only one rolling over was the tail gunner during those bunts!
The first maneuver is called a Chandelle
That is not a rollover maneuver at all.
Watched it twice. Where was the rollover? Thumb down.
*I can only imagine the stresses being applied to all of the rotor blades while doing this*
That's exactly what I was thinking too
@@Cyba_IT remember though, the Chinook can lift 26,000lbs at sea level...so that's way more stress being applied to the blades unlike here. But yeah, doing a rollover in a Chinook is something that most pilots won't think of doing. LOL!
Where was the roll..?
Theirs a book called firefight by rick kurelo a story in the book called "were going down" about a operation in Afghanistan. Must read
Chinook, The flying hotdog
That is the best description of chinooks .
Not bad for a helicopter built like a single wide trailer.
It's all fun & games until the chip detector lights up. 😨
wouldn't call the maneuvering a roll over but diving and pulling up!
I'm glad the video contained no 'roll over'.
Being a student helicopter pilot that something you would NEVER do in R22 or the R44!...aircraft must be specificlaly designed to handle that load and very skilled piloting technique.
Another thing you should never do with a Robinson is fly one
Still waiting for the 'roll over'.
This beast is scary. Don't pull too many G's to prevent these blases touching each other.
Click bait.... That's a simple crop duster turn. Nobody 'Rolled' anything here. 👎👎
I've said it before, US Army helicopter pilots, best trained rotory wing pilots in the world.
lol
But this is in England...
That title would probably go to the pilots of Air Zermatt in Switzerland.
I think you were looking for the 160th Night Stalkers. Those pilots are on another level.
I would’ve thought “roll over” meant accident?
Judging by some of the comments, that's what a lot of other people were thinking.
Rollover or not you wouldn't want to be sat in the back. No barf bag big enough
Who knew tanks could fly?
No "roll over" performed in this video. There is a big difference.
How the hell did the pilot do that??????
They must put a lil lock tight on them blade bolts.
@Nola Joe rubber lock nuts man lol
That would be called a hammerhead
Omg dudes! This is not a rollover. It’s called a wing over. How could you mistake it for a rollover. It’s so obvious! How do I know the difference, because I’m just copying what the experts are saying in the comments. I came here by mistake.
Nam
Return to target, not Rollover!
And the reason for flying it like that? Helicopters already tend to have a lot stacked against them why push their luck ??
Bollocks. You don’t know what a roll is. Unless it’s ham and pickle perhaps.
Only thing that rolled was my eyes.
Impressive for the CH-47, but it is neither a true roll or a loop. As far as I know, the CH-53A/D is still the only American help to do both.
A Javelin Anti-Armor Missile can shoot that down 100% Legal like Iraq 2008
NO ROLLOVER.
I'm not Chinook fluent, but I would imagine that some of that flight profile was not within allowed limits for that aircraft.
In the Chinook the two rotors are kept in mesh by a gearbox - these are the true miracle imo!

Clearly the man has screws loose...
Wow! Armchair experts proliferate with this one!
Yep. Stick 'em on the real thing they couldn't find their ass with both hands using instructions.

This is a foolhardy and reckless pilot . These helicopters were not designed for the type of stresses that he is subjecting it to.
False advertising. No roll over took place.

Funcionando k mov
No freaking way!!!
Sorry but a roll over would involve going inverted. This bird never went inverted. Fake title

That looks soooo unsafe
Not so dramatic...
