Chinookwater Helicopter picks up Navy Seals.wmv

[ateethansen]

Here is a rarely seen video of a U.S. Navy SEAL extraction filmed from inside an MH-47 Chinook helicopter. The pilot has lowered the ramp, dipped the tail end into the water to partially flood the compartment, (a manoeuvre that requires very precise flying) and awaits the Navy SEAL's to board in their F-470 Zodiac rubber inflatable. You have just got to love the skill of the pilot.... very few pilots would attempt this. It's too easy to lose lift, and ditch the whole chopper.....
