I saw both.. I mean the 3 Chinooks and the 5 Apaches flying above Greenhithe couple of days ago. It was an amazing sight! I just heard a huge roaring sound which got more and more louder, so I ran outside very very fast to have a look around and I saw the 3 chinooks. Then after 10 minutes or so the 5 apaches. :D
What beautiful aircraft the AH-64 is and she is my favourite heli of all time followed by the Huey. Excellent footage.
Dutch are always welcome in my book, we love the Dutch : )
Not very wise honestly.
@@jdemunter5235 we get along in europe
@Albus King of course we do that's what civilised people do.
@@jdemunter5235 yessir
It's funny scene All American helicopters being fly by other other countries
Saw these bad boys flying over London Bridge at my lunch break. Hop Holland! 🇳🇱
I will never tire from loving the sound of the Chinook and the sight of Apache's
Loving it. Thank you uploader. I rarely watch these videos so they are an absolute treat when i do.
Thank you for posting! Nice to see the cooperation!
Mooie vangst broer, fantastische video zoals altijd
You would love it where I am at in Alabama. I live next to Ft Rucker which is the #1 Army Aviation training facility. It is pretty cool watching the Apache practicing maneuvers at treetop level, and they are not flying slowly like in this video but extremely fast and aggressive. If you can get in the right area you can also watch the Apache's doing live fire on targets. The best time is during their finals. The air is filled with just about every type of military rotary wing craft you can think of.
sick
oh olmost every dutch person gets to enjoy the show around 70 to 80%of our airspace is also airforce training space.
@@SensitivityGames I am talking about well over 100 Apachie, well over 100 Blackhawk, well over 100 Chinook, and hundreds of smaller training and support rotor wings on a daily basis. There are many air fields and training fields for them to take off from and land and practice in, but when leaving and coming back it is almost an endless stream. I tend to stay away from Lowe Field, there they have the rookies doing all kinds of landing maneuvers, them instructors have some serious balls of steel!!
@@jonesgang
That's alot to have in one area
@@Fighting_Fatigue_117 That is why it is a training facility. Pilots will come from all over the world and from various nations to have their pilots trained.
You always know it’s a chinook coming towards you from the first deep thud you here miles away. There’s no better sound lol 😂
wait till you hear and feel the rumble of a CH-53E or the newer K Model ;) about 5 days ago in Georgia US, i had 2 CH-53E's fly almost directly over me at about id say 500 AGL, my entire house shook for about 30-45 seconds before i could actually see them.
but the loudest whopping comes from the AH-1W Super Cobra, you can hear those about 3-4 miles out, they are louder than the legacy Huey even.
ruclips.net/video/KukN4uFS_y8/видео.html
The rotor blade is only 1.2 inches less than the width of the Fuselage itself.
@@CapStar362 you young 'uns need to hear a Huey UH-1 Iroquois coming in to take you home. Nothing beats that twin blade wocka wocka.
@@fatmanfaffing4116 i used to live almost next door to Tara Field - home of the AAHF which flew their Huey's and their Cobra's over my house nearly every weekend.
I have been given free rides in those same helicopters for volunteering at their place on Tara Field.
Back in 1999 Peachtree City GA, i was still with Civil Air Patrol, one of their staff became ill and was the Right Door Gunner on some LP Powered M60's . they chose me to replace him.
So trust me, i know the sounds very well.
And I am 41 myself, my father was in Vietnam as a 0311 Marine. My Godfather was a 11B Infantry in Vietnam also, they even crossed paths a couple times.
Please don't assume I dont know what that sounds like or based on my personal family experiences i cannot correlate the sounds and the feelings. Just because I was not personally there, does not mean I cannot compensate with first hand stories given to me by friends and family.
@@fatmanfaffing4116 If you were there, my greatest thanks and respect for your service.
And it has been proven that the AH-1W's wocka's are deeper and harder hitting than that of the UH-1A through N Models.
@@CapStar362 I was in post-Vietnam but we had the Hueys and it was a very distinctive and welcome sound. I can imagine how it was for my elders and betters who had ridden them in the SE Asian Games.
A very friendly invasion (and this is fine in this crazy times)......Some weeks ago I've seen american "Longbows" some days flying on her way to the balticum over my hometown (ever in a five ship arrow formation). The noise of the rotor blades are music in my ears. Thank you for showing. Regards from a former "Hind" D mechanic.
Balticum? Please explain
@@leehessey1154 Baltikum (or Balticum) means in this case the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Also the "East sea" is called baltic sea. In this states (I think mainly in Estonia) runs at the moment big NATO maneuvers as counterweight of russian military activities and to show the readyness to protect the NATO members. Regards from baltic shore.
@@dhmik1 thanks for taking the time to reply
I'm Balticummm 😫😫
@@kanash8851 lol
The Dutch are one of our closest allies and one of the oldest
We fought along side them against the Spanish, French and others as far back as far back as the 1600s
Portugal is your oldest
@@Andy-ScotsIrish-TheGAEL. yes ...Treaty of Windsor 1386
If I may I will just add that there has been more than once that the Dutch have been an enemy. An example is a certain Civil and World War from 1775 to 1783.
@@kenw1248 Not to mention the raid on the Medway
@@kenw1248 Agreed. Let's hope that continued cooperation lies in our future, not more Anglo-Dutch wars!
Thanks for the Video
My fellow Dutchmen looking good there, thanks for the excellent vid!
Very nice mate!
Slightly different to the regular visitors at Northolt!
How do you guys know when these movements are happening, I live across the a40 right under the flight path with clear view of raf northolt from my balcony. I raced out the shower when I heard these lot coming😂
Damn good shots! Pilots with extreme good skills here to see! Thanks for this really good video, awesome!
Cracking vid, got see the Dutch Yesterday and today at Carlisle Lake District Airport. One of the crew mentioned they or transiting through Northolt again in June on the way back home.
Hopefully the cougars will make it to Northolt next time too 😀
Absolutely fantastic landing snd takeoff of the AH-64D Apache and CH-47F Chinook 😊🤩
That was cool to see. Thanks for sharing.
Wow.. what a sight great vid mate
Cheers
Good morning 🌞🌄 job well done.
There were 5 Apaches on exercise in Caerwent (old barracks) south east Wales just over a week ago. Impressive
aha, they went over Bristol shortly after and i got a couple of pictures
Amazing footage
great catch :D
That is some exellent footage.
Cheers 👍
cool footage💪
Always nice when your mates pop in for tea😂
Excellent 👏
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱!
Great allies and some good skill on the take off keeping them so nicely in formation, they was showing off to the camera man haha
simply beautiful machines, thank God RNLAF is on our side, we Appreciate you!
Much respect back to RAF. We are proud to be your ally. Great to have each other's back!
Amaaaaaazing! Famtastic! *chefs kiss*
1:05 and 8:29, the sounds of Northolt 😂👌
Apache Dutchie 'pon the Left hand Side 🚁😎
Love it
It are go bun, give me di music, make mi jump an' prance
Nice view of the 5 ah 64 d apaches and the 3 ch 47 f chinooks dutch military helicopters visiting united kingdom 🇬🇧
Seeing those hellfire missiles loaded on the Apache is just an awesome sight! Safe training boys & have fun making things go boom !
To see them fired in Combat is pretty impressive
Thanks for this from NAFO gang!
🤟🤟🤟🤟
Beautiful birds!
I worked/lived (almost sometimes) in the back of the Woka’s for many years. I always found the unique blade beat hypnotic, which got me into a zone, that made me work in a unique way, I just can’t do in civi-life. Maybe it’s because it’s less dangerous & exciting in the real world, maybe it’s because people don’t realise what the few have to do to keep the country safe, so they can moan about trivial things. Either way, I miss the sound, smell, even the decision making, though not all were good ones. It’s hard when you can only watch on RUclips… Nevertheless, 60 years later, and she is still ugly, but nothing comes close to being able to replace her. She is magnificent, and saved thousands of lives, both in combat, humanitarian, & “You” viewers, who haven’t a clue about 99% of the terror plots that are ‘neutralised’, before they reach your town.
We salute you Chieftain Chinook!
Used to get Chinooks going low over the house on the way to Brize Norton. The floor used to shake they were that low :)
One time we were working on a rural backroad and Chinooks kept flying over us having various stuff hanging under them. This went on the whole day. Near the end of the day one of them had a vehicle hanging under it and it flew over so low it nearly touched the trees. Pretty sure the pilots did it on purpose. Was fucking awesome.
The 3 Chinooks few over my home (just outside Maidstone) so I jumped on FlightRadar24 to follow them. Only one was transponding as NAF482, designated as a large unidentified commercial airliner 🤷🏼♂️ so I assumed Special Forces 🤔
Whouaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !! impressive !! Force and sweetness.
1:14 hahahah the guy in the background talking
He’s a funny bloke 😂
He's the opinionated knob who loves to hear his own voice you get at every airbase fence
4:35: They were coming in so low I thought they might stop and refuel at that Shell station 😅
These always regroup at Ostend airport beaken when they crossed the channel , saw them again today .
Awesome 👍🏻
When you have the opportunity of seeing the Dutch Apache Demo team, do it. Crazy good pilot skills.
the thump of the chinooks is the sound of freedom
with the ah64's in tow... damn its like ww3.. gotta love em
Cool Footage.
👍 cheers
I just fucking love the American design of these war machines.
as a dutch person also one that work on these aircraft the boys in them were like we have come for your free fuel
Goosebumps feeling!
Ha ha love the guy talking in the background BRAVO
But he's a raving right winger! "Shoot the commies!"
God bless Netherlands God bless Netherlands 🇳🇱 hero's
Last time I was at RAF Northolt I was surprised to see HS125 Dominies flying in and out! That was around 2014
I've seen them flying over the hs2 jobsite in west ruislip, sound of freedom.
Great video! I prefer the Longbow version - bored with Chinooks - RAF Odiham not far from me in Farnham and they fly over all the time!
Same here bud in Farnham see both on a regular basis luckily
The Dutch are upgrading them to Longbows, but only a few have been finished so far.
Une présence aérienne importante.Beau documentaire
saw them passing over abbeywood ,good to see
Those Apaches are extremely menacing.
Don't worry, we won't raid Chatham again, we love you guys now. ;-)
Thanks hha The London fire was a better.idea .But now we love you.
The raid on Chatham was a great operation especially as the Catholics had taken control in England luckily only temporarily we got rid of them soon after. , I've seen the statue in Vlissingen of the Admiral who commanded the raid .
@@charlieboffin2432 I think you are mixing up 2 separate things; The raid on Chatham happened in 1776 (We destroyed your Navy and stole your Flagship) and the glorious revolution happened in 1688/89 (We invaded England to kick out your catholic king who wanted to get rid of protestantism) We succeeded both times... ;-)
Muchas gracias por estas extraordinarias imagenes 👏👏👏
Gracias 🙏
Awesome! we have great vids too
Unloaded Chinooks have higher top speed then Apaches. All power and blades on Chinook can go to forward motion. No power loss to a tail rotor I think is the reason.
Blackhawks are also faster. Those massive blades create alot of thrust.
*EXCELLENT*
Am always looking for lady liberty. The chinook i took on road transport from Soesterberg airfield to helicopter services Stavanger Norway back in I guess 2005. That one was stripped to keep the other 5 flying. In Norway it was made airworthy again. One of my best transports
I tracked them flying along Thames.. nice sighting
13:00 the birds racing the ARFF Truck - now thats interesting.
Majestic
I see them too flying above me by Northolt RAF
God bless you 🙏
They came for boris johnson..but he denied his own excistence...💣
Really good clear video images. What sort of camera are you using for these?
Thx, here I used a Panasonic HC-X1500M
Love the Chinook, the noise they make is epic.
1:17 Had me laughing so hard.
Saw them fly along north kent coast
Wonder if they get to do the Mach Loop while they're here.. Netherlands is bit lacking in hills!
just listen to the guy in the background 1:15
Didn't realise the Dutch had such a huge budget (and airfleet)!
we don't have a big defense budget.
Since the end of the cold war, the defense budget has been heavily cut, just as much of Europe has done
at the moment the defense budget is something around 1.5% of gdp,
From next year no, the Dutch government will invest more to get us back above the 2% nato norm
@@janneman7710 good call...still, I didn't expect the Netherlands to sport such a huge fleet of Apaches and Chinooks...those are some serious birds.
@@anomalyp8584 After the budget cuts, we decided it was better to keep certain things up to strength, like the fleet of these helicopters, our rapid reaction force and so on. And completely drop certain other things like transport planes (we borrow them from the Belgians) and tanks.
@@kaasmeester5903 I think that is a smart call...choosing for a strong air branch is better than investing in tanks.
Probably your army then will in turn provide air support if needed in exchange for those transports/tanks/...
If I'm not mistaken the Dutch also invest in engineering equipment (which makes sense since the country is very flat and has to deal with a lot of water ways).
4:34 i see its going to the local Shel for a quick refuel
In order to be invaded, you'd have to have something worth wanting.
nice
i love the convo about commies in the background lol
It really is a shame they cancelled the Comanche. In the meantime, the AH-64 is a very scary aircraft if you're on its menu.
As an ex "squaddie" the Dutch have always liked us English, because of our sacrifice in the 2nd World War. Most of them can speak English better than i can!
Excuse us, we're looking for the Medway.
9:40 Pov: you just started oil drilling on your own property
NATOwave needs to be playing in the background
4:10. Apache 1: "Yeah, um...the fuel price is high here, let's go to the Tesco station up the road. It's cheaper and I can get Clubcard points!".
the chatter is premium
The real Flying Dutchmen in action.😉
Man, I live in the Netherlands and sometimes these monsters fly over the house and they really freak me out. Like, I'm just doing something peacefully -_-
What can I say, we love the UK :)
All because the lady loves Milk Tray.
Someone had five stars.
It is funny that these folks made a pit stop for refuelling and the dude is recording from Shell 😂
I put Red Alert 2 hell march in second tab. it was perfect.
random question, but does the fuel get paid before the visit right? as in its already pre planned were they will stop for a top off and stuff?
It is pre planned yes - payment is before or after
This is a simple fuel stop, fill the tanks, check the oil, clean the windshield , fill the, washer reservoir, serve coffee to the pilot and, if needed, pipi room. . 😂
The Apaches will be upgraded to the "E" model soon and with it comes the longbow radar. Never understood they didn't get the longbow before. Money I guess.
This is part of the task force to take back Luton.
take it back from the edl or what ever it calls it self now.
