    Always in awe of these incredible machines. Love watching them fly over my house towards the local base. My son's been an Army Black Hawk pilot instructor since 2010 with several deployments. It takes a toll on the body after more than a decade. Great video!

    Old Army. I've been on Hueys and Chinooks but the Blackhawk is after my time! I'd love to experence a flight in one.
    My scariest flight was on Okinawa in 72. Typhoon Rita was coming back for a second hit on the island and my team had to go to the north end of the island to recover some high $$ signals equipment off towers used for Vietnam comms.
    Conditions were marginal at the best but it had to be done.
    I could see the altimeter and it was doing up to 500 ft drops and climbs!!The pilots looked like they were playing drums they were so playing those collectives!
    The 2nd Lt next to me turned greener than our uniforms and hurled! I watched it come out hang then return and soaked his ass! Pilot had us open the door so the rain could wash some of it out of the AC!!
    There Is NO rollercoaster built that can imitate that flight that I have found yet OR the climb up a metal tower that was twisting like a shoebox!
    When you get back ya gotta pull some strings and take me flying on one!!
