Helicopter Heroes

[Mr53Louie]

They fly great, but the pilots need that wrench turner on the ground, without them the birds do not fly and do all those wonderful stunts. 18 years Army Aviation

I want to become a pilot, but it's too expensive as a civilian. How hard is it to become an army pilot. Also, what are my chances of getting shot down.

[AJAnewage]

seeing chinook's that reminded me 2 of them did somets like 15 foot of ground fly by on the field was amazing

[pixelsilva]

...seen the Arpias performance during the last 10 years in Colombia´s internal war, made them commit into the program. Today Sikorsky is building the Arpia versión for the US Army which is operative an flies everyday in Irak and Afghanistan. The Australians too jumped in to the bandwagon and are designing their own version with the help of Sikorsky. Lastly, the Israelis decided to convert all their Black Hawk fleet into their own version of the Arpia, an Armed Black Hawk called Battlehawk (TM)

[pixelsilva]

For the upcoming Arpia IV they will sport, Python V Israeli air-to-air missiles and long range Spike anti-tank missiles, also from Israel. The chopper will maintain the 20 mm nose gun, plus a phletora of electronic systems like flir, terrain following radar, laser adquisition, chaft and flares dispensers among other gadgets. All this was implemented to the simple and basic UH-60L airframe coming straight from the Sikorsky factory. The experiment was so succesful that Sikorsky jumped in...

[pixelsilva]

Don´t worry... the Colombians have been strapping anything you can imagine to the Black Hawks, they called it "Arpias", now in their 3rd. versión. They carry the same 20 mm movable nose machine gun as the Apache which is aimed by the pilots mounted helmet eye visor. Also carry free rockets and two fixed gatling guns on the aircraft embrionary wings hard points. Much or less fashionable as a real attack helicopter like the famous tank busting Russian Mi-24.

[Kirov686]

WOFT is the Warrant Officer Flight Training. ROTC is for Commissioned Officers that go to college. I would suggest being a Warrant Officer because your job will be to fly helicopters, but commissioned officers lead soldiers and then also fly helicopters... meaning that once they reach the rank of captain, their flight hours get seriously diminished.

[PabloProductions1]

man if you strapped missiles to Chinook...

[Warcrazy911]

What do I have to do to fly an Apache in the army?

[RedDevilPilot]

Either commsion as an officer or go through WOFT. I'm in the process for WOFT myself.

[supercobradown]

good luck and thanks i want 2 fly an Apache to

[jtownstomp]

whats better? WOFT or ROTC. Im going to college next year so im trying to decide. How difficult is it to get accepted for the WOFT program? Are you a college grad yourself?

[wanaplayrough]

be in the army for 5 years then join the AAC

[bry0097]

i love those Apaches!!!

[aviatrix911]

[twasbrillig33]

What are those Spikey projections from the little bird. (I must say, not a fan of war at all, but that's the baddest assed looking heli on this whole video)

[SJPilot65]

The angled one at the top of the windscreen are cable cutters in case the helo flies into a power line the other two I believe are antennas.

[ThirdWorldHorn]

@SJPilot65 Wouldn't the blades have already struck the cables?

[raulrusboy]

@ThirdWorldHorn In the event the blades don't strike the cables, the cutters are there to cut them... They actually do work... Not necessarily all the time though, for obvious reasons.

[9598dad]

@twasbrillig33 i think theyre antennae but im not sure ask a pilot

[CatNov20]

Hey!! I'm joining after I get my BA this spring to be a WO is the US Army! Wish me luck!

[lafalot23]

[gandhimtb]

where can I get that first picture?

[kikermoses23]

Pretty great vid!! Do you have to be a WO to be a helicopter?

[gandhimtb]

you can be a lieutenant, no enlisted personell

[NoCtrl665]

no. officers can be pilots, but they kind of do that as a side job. the WO fly ALOT more often than the staff pilots.

[canadianpilot09]

do any of you know the heiht limimt for the canadian cf-18 im about 6'3 and i have my heart set on flying for aaaaaaaages

[NoCtrl665]

no, they measure your seated height and there is no upper limit. you can be too short though. you have to be able to reach across the cockpit to the switches on the upper console.

[blackhawkpilot4]

Warrant Officers are the shit!!

[alphalink]

choppers are freaking awesome, they're my favorite units in any army game like advanced wars and such

[soldierguy22]

Future helo pilot right here. Keep kicking ass guys. Hooah!!!

[blondierfa]

[RangerGhost]

Mother Rucker. I remember we used to replace the R with an F in Rucker during lockdown. lmao

[masterofwalruses]

I dont understand why apache is called ugly. I think its beutiful looking. Atleast way better on looks than Super Cobra.

[pcsbyte]

Helos are Definitely Heros. No doubt about that. From Dustoffs to Combat Birds

They are always there

[unsf8518]

Attack Helicopters for the win!

[B206III]

Seven year old boy to his Mum...wife of a helicopter pilot..."Mum, when I grow up, I want to be a helicopter pilot like Dad!"

Mum's reply...."Sorry, Son, buy you can not do both!"

[RangerGhost]

LMAO

[darkchronic]

nice

[HONDO76]

sweet vid

[psycodav]

That's the way its done. Good work on this video. Thanks.

[RangerGhost]

Damn, I'm getting senile.

AH-64

[AZNKENNY123]

would there be any requirements before u go to training on flying AH-64 or any fighting helicopters for i wish to fly on while serving in the military =D

[RangerGhost]

Four years of college, but you could possibly get in with two years and extremely good grades, to Warrant Officer Flight Training.  I'm not sure how selective the board is right now.

[AZNKENNY123]

hmm ok thanks il try my best in collefe and hope there is an opening when i am going to join =D

[gandhimtb]

People are getting accepted straight out of highschool into flightschool now adays.

[Airborneready]

They were taking people on the High School to Flight School program before I joined the Army back in 1984. The Marines will let a person fly Helicopters with an Associates Degree (I'm not sure about the Navy).

[RangerGhost]

lol

I used to fly the AH-1

I fly the AH-64longbow.

rofl

[AZNKENNY123]

some day i mean im only underage still for military but i am going to join

[RangerGhost]

Cool Video

I fly the AH-1Longbow.

Thanks for the video!

[sjpylut65]

Thanks for your service to our country!

[phrawgg2]

i second that.

in other news: if a helicopter basically moves forward by doing a controled fall ballanced by lift, how the hell is it able to roll or loop?

[RangerGhost]

POWER

We in rotary wing don't fly. We beat the air into submission. :D

[collardosvids]

Haha, right on.

[doctorphate]

Think of the helicopter of a plane but looking up instead.. when you flip the chopper so the propellor is looking towards the ground it will go down quite quickly but if you do it fast enough you can get it past the breaking point where its facing slightly backwards which pulls the chopper in that direction and then from there you keep going like that and eventually it will pull out. Not sure if i explained that well or not

[phrawgg2]

Sounds good to me. Thanks for the explaination.

[jbuzzkirk]

put some water in a bucket. Spin it vertically. The water stays in. Its the same thing. So in short, a good pilot.
