  • So would you say these are more difficult than fighter planes/pilots academically, like you have to be even smarter or easier. I'm doing my best in school, just want to know.

  • That deserves an Air Fuckin' Cav from 1-6. nobody does it like the Cav does

  • damn, I love these birds...

  • why would youtube censor videos like this that honor our soldiers and what they do... just let it go

  • @Ghostsniper27 - As a soldier, I say thank you, and you can download it with the audio on CavHooah. Do a search for troop video, click on "Alive,"

  • @cavhooah are you an active soldier

  • Does anyone know what the music that is supposed to be with this video is?

    Awesome footage, I wish I could enjoy it in it's intended form...

  • @ClancD - You can download it with the audio on CavHooah. Do a search for troop video, click on "Alive," add ice, stir and enjoy!

  • @cavhooah Great, thanks!

    Outstanding site too, btw

  • BRING BACK THE SOUND HOOAH!!!!!

  • Way to go bro, i love you...this video is an awesome testimony of what you guys do. You will always be my heroes........... Thank you for keeping us safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what is the mask the pilot/copilot is wearing at 2:03?

  • its just a mask to cover your exposed face like to keep out dust and dirt and it is easier to understand you when you talk on the radio

  • Nice vid! 5x*

    a pity the WMG a holes can't receive some hits from these birds.

  • The Kiowa Warrior came to Anadarko, Oklahoma. In October of 08, to the Kiowa Black Legging Ceremony at Indian City. It was "Awesome" Had a hard time flying out with that wind blowing so bad that Sunday afternoon! Thanks uy's for "representin"!!! The Kiowa Tradition!!! May God Bless You All for Keepin us Free and Never Give Up!!!

  • USA THE BEST !! Song is Cool !!

  • got to ride in one as part of an army recruitment thing at my college, pretty damn cool... still joined marines though.

  • Darn, I'm partial to those cute little Kiowas and their incredibly handsome pilots.

    Thanks for your service and fly safe.

  • Great Video! I was with Banshee Troop 2/17 cav in the 90's when the unit first got the 58 delta's, we just transitioned from the AH-1 & 58 charlies.

  • GO ARMY!

  • Nice video, had some great shots. And to JTurner30, neither Iraq nor Afghanistan are much fun. Where you got that idea who knows.

  • maybe not for most people, but i love the forces and everything about them, i get excited over disassembling a tail boom or seeing a blackhawk take off, lame i know but i think its pretty narly

  • i work on kiowa's once a week as work expierence

    its ok.... but it'd be dam fun if u were deployed and got to throw the shit in the fan

  • Thanks for your comments, knucklehead. I AM deployed to Afghanistan. Come on over and see how much fun it is anytime. We do our job so idiots like you are free to take up oxygen in America. Keep your day job and leave the helicopter maintenance for the big kids.

  • Nice video keep up the good work in Iraq!

    GOD BLESS THE U.S.TROOPS!

  • Army Aviation-ABOVE THE BEST! You guys are carrying on the proud tradition of Army rotor-wing pilots and crews and I'm DAMN PROUD of you! May God bless and protect you all and thanks for all you do. From the proud son of a Vietnam "Slick" Pilot, "Rattlers/Firebirds" RVN-'65-'66. HOOAH!

  • I'd love to fly this, an apache, or a blackhawk when I join in a year!

  • I FEEL ALIVE!

  • Too darned cool. My niece's boyfriend is a Kiowa pilot with 101st.  I love her, so I love him too. Stay safe baby...You're future aunt in law. LOL.

  • Dang I love the Kiowa. I'd love to fly those when I'm older. Army Aviation, HOOAH!

  • Those birds got us out of some sticky situations in Panjwai. Thank you to all those Kiowa pilots!

  • That is great to hear! Glad we could help! We are still there now! We are also pissing off our enemies in Salerno, Bagram, and J-Bad too!

  • Were you flying ops over panjwai in the last 7 months?

  • if you were i probably have some video of you in action lol.

  • Im leaving July 8th 2009 to go be a mechanic on one of these babies. All of you people who love these things... Ill be keeping them in the air!

  • 1:27-1:33 awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome!

  • my boyfriend is a kiowa pilot. awesome video!

  • I wish I was inside !

  • checkout ready aim fire by autorun class song up the usa

  • Garry Owen! I love Army Aviation and our Soldiers! Godspeed and GIT SOME! From the son of a US Army Aviator that flew in Vietnam, '65-'66. Y'all stay safe and kick some ass! I'm damn proud to be associated with Army Aviation and Army Aviators! Hooah!

  • I love everything about the Cav a lot and I really want to join it once I get through college. I'm down with the idea or a Stryker or Kiowa but I heard being an officer and flying isn't a good choice because you only fly for a few years until you get behind a desk. Is that true? I know its much better to be a warrant officer when flying but is it that bad to be a officer and fly?

    I always get chills when I see Kiowas doing low passes at JROTC camps. Great vid, I watch it all the time.

  • Hey SavageBear1 Im in my final parts of school getting ready to commission. It is true that you will fly more if you become a warrant officer, but that doesnt mean you wont fly as an officer. My LTC was flying missions almost daily in afghanistan as a Major, and thats close to 10+ years in service. So dont think that you wont fly as an officer, you just have other responsibilities leading and looking after your soldiers as well as warfighting. Feel free to ask more Q's as you come up with them.

  • Nice video

    Whats the name of the Song? Tank you.

  • The song is titled "Alive" by the band P.O.D.

  • I don't care what people say but this is a bad ass video and I love to watch it over and over again.

  • kick ass hooah soldier

  • Happy Birthday America, Keep up the Fire ! Pro Patria doughboy

    11B All the Way Everyday ah ha.....

  • two questions, is a warrant officer an NCO? and, whats the reason for that face mask some of the crews are wearing?

  • A Warrant Officer is an Officer, hence, the name, and the masks are part of our flight gear designed to protect us from debris and dust while flying.

  • thanks, real nice vid by the way

  • Thank you for editing out all the anti american rhetoric shit people post. I'm so tired of that garbage! It's these losers who watch CNN and think that they are political science majors that have the answer to all the worlds problems.

  • is it hard to get into flight school after ROTC?

  • Yes; it is arguable the most competitive branch of the army coming out of ROTC. Bust your ass though and you'll get it.

  • Cavhooah are you a rotary pilot? I've got some questions for ya. I'm getting my packet ready

  • Yes I am. Check out CavHooah for more info on becoming a Warrant Officer.

  • Fuckin' love you guys. Cav Hooah, brothers.

  • I LOVE U.S. ARMY!

  • HOOAH!

  • bad ass at 1:34 when one of the pilots is firing his m4

  • gotta love the face mask at 2:02

  • Have you flown any other helos? Or just the oh-58d

  • out front!!!! 2-17 gets it done!

  • did that guy really think he could kill something shooting an assault rifle out of a cockpit!!

  • Yes he did, and yes, he did. It is what we are trained to do. Have you ever done it? Once you learn about trajectory shift, the horizontal plane gyroscopic effect, and projectile jump, hitting targets is easy. You should look it up and then join the Cav. Maybe they'll let you shoot out the door.

  • i thought the same thing when we started carrying them in '03, but with a little practice, you'd be surprised just how accurate you can shoot from the hip out the cockpit door. i've done it many times.

  • Lol - until the leftseater shoots a blade or a rocket pod - ha (you know who you are).

  • The music fits just about this video

    AWESOME

    PS:sorry for bad language

  • I thought the Kiowa's were the smaller helicopters.But I did a search for them after reading Micheal Yon's article about these guys.

    What is the maximum age limit to be a pilot?From what I understand the mechanics are stationed there too.What are the requirements for that?

  • Disregard my dumb questions.

  • Kiowa's are the smaller helicopters ;)

    You have to have your flight packet in by your 29th birthday. A college degree (4 yr.) and an instrument rating, and prior military service will make you really competitive. Pilot is one of the few Warrant Officer jobs that does not require you to be a certain enlisted rank before you can apply. Any civilian or military member can apply and be accepted to Army Flight School.

  • As far as understand the Age cut off was 33 and you didn't even have to have any college credits or Instrument ratings. But all those does help ofcourse.

  • Your information is slightly inaccurate on flight school. The age limit has been increased and neither college nor instrument ratings are required. Prior military service will help you, but it is also not a requirement.

  • don't be fooled.. college nor an instrument rating is required for ANY United States Army pilot position.. HOWEVER, like i said, those two things make your packet MUCH more competitive. Think of how many people want to be a pilot, think of how many packets go before the board.. now think of the likelihood of getting selected with college and instrument rating when competing against someone who has 5 years, non aviation related army experience. See my point ;) ALWAYS get the college degree!

  • You are absolutely right, now think of the flight school classes that start every two weeks. I don not by any means want to say that the standards for getting accepted are lower, but Fort Rucker Flight School graduations happen twice a month, and with the current OPTEMPO of the Army, many senior aviators are getting out, leaving a void to be filled. Don't be fooled.

  • Your damn straight, right on with the college dude! Always real nice/best to have an intelligent and articulate individual rep'ing the unit!..that said...Cud someone pse get a vid goin with inf/rec callin in TACAIR on a targ, u-know some AH-64's to the tune of Naz's Hair of the Dog

  • I can't Top That.

    CavMom

  • i think AH-6 Little Bird would be better for close air support^^

    Did the US Army deploy AH-6 and the " 160th SOAR " in Iraq??

    I want to see the video of " 160th SOAR " in Iraq~~~~~~~~

    I beleive they have the best pilot in the Army~~~^^

  • The Little Bird is an awesome aircraft and their pilots are some of the best in the army, but they have different missions than the OH-58D, and the Army will not replace all of the OH-58's with Little Birds.

  • Kiowa has it's special abilities, it's a high flying scout for ground forces and can bring hell to the enemy if needed also

  • well got it^^

  • the weapon at 1:29 is a m4. And the gun on the left side is a .50 cal

  • 他們很有型嗯!!!!

    the pilot firing the M4?

    the gun on the left side is .50 cal?

  • i think M4 was the co pilot

    and yea its a 50 cal

  • i think minigun is better than the .50 cal~

  • Kickin! Rock on guys.

  • God bless U.S.army

  • This is what I love about our military - we have some of the best toys in the world.

    If you wish to see Allah, step up and we will move you on...

  • awesome comment! hahahaha!!! "move then on" i love it :))))

  • This video is Grade A Hooah.

  • Kick ass video! Gratitude to all who serve.

  • Thanks boys. wish we could put our tigers in there to help. Australia.

  • Kiowas kick ass

  • If anyone wants to know what that facemask is, it is body armor designed to protect the face from small arms fire. Looks like it can carry important bits inside like a mic as well.

  • UUU, this one is definitely going into the favorite list. Thanks for the nice video.

  • Sweet video cavhooah. What are those masks you are wearing for? I've never seen those before.

  • I think those masks are to meant keep the airmen from getting windburn, you see em a lot on door gunners/crew chiefs who always have their heads stickin out, also from debris

  • kill em all

  • may god continue belessing our troops

  • Nice video, I love helicopters, greetings from the 301st Helicopter Squad in Holland.

  • Great vid ! keep on the good work out there...

  • nice video

  • awesome video homie!

  • Awesome video, but why the 9/11 footage and the picture of Osama? I don't get the connection.

    Still, great footage of the hard work our boys are doing over in Iraq. I hope they can come home soon!

  • 911, Hussein, and Osama bin laden are in the video to remind people that the War on Terrorism is still ongoing, and while I have no desire to return to Iraq, I would rather fight there than in my own backyard.

  • I think that's the greatest anwser anyone can give. "I would rather fight there than in my own backyard".

    thanks man.

    -nick-

  • As a former C trooper! The video is awesome! Great job!

  • GO CAV!

  • Great job-thanks
