i have a question for whom ever has an answer, i am joining within the next year, and will be able to do the 14 month program and i am thinking about being a warrant officer. but the really only interest i have in flying are Kiowas and Apaches, so i really do want to be stuck flying blackhawks or something if i dont have that interest. is there a way for me to choose what chopper i fly or is it random?
@williamED15 we draw a cross hair on the window with a sharpee similar to what you would see through any milspec acog sight. and im not joking. we literally do that.
Outlaw Troop were the bravest, badest, most skilled pilots I got to work with. I was a 13F with HWB/H Co. in OIF 1. Those guys did everything for us including pulling security from the air while we were trying to save one of our comrades from a tank accident and fire.
In my personal opinion the Kiowa is one of the most bada** looking choppers ever. Awesome video for those of you in this video or filmed it. All that stuff. You guys rock. :)
i bet if one guy was 300 lbs and the other was 150 this heli would prob go down just from weight differential lol....so small and deadly...like a flying badger.
@tarkinfish damn dude. Apache is a different league of helicopter. Kiowa is more of a recon, small troop cas. Apache is an attack helicopter with shitload of laser guided missiles and other toys. This can be compared to little bird.
What is the chopper the special forces use? Maybe the Rangers use it too... It's the one where they are always on the skids... Its small like the Kiowa. Is it a version of the Hughes 500??
Was in Quickstrike 4/3 for OIF III. Always had a lot of support from Nomad, Outlaw, Pegasus, or Renegade. Got a few rides from Stetson. My favorite was always the OH-58. Wish I would have been able to get video. They are awesome. Flying below power lines, between the poles, or 10 feet over our heads all at 100 mph (or atleast WAY faster than our HMMWV's). US Army warrant officers are the best pilots! Enemy is terrified of them, we always feel better knowing you guys have our back. Brave Rifles!
Really?? Why cant I do that? Every time I see this footage I jump out of my desk chair. The footage at 2:15 gets me so motivated! All of these men made a difference. CAV do your f***ing thing!
@VV4000 That is not an RC Chopper. That is a full size OH58D Kiowa Warrior Scout. The dome-shaped structure on top of the rotors is a radar dome. The Kiowa Warrior Scout acts as both a light attack and scout helicopter for Apache Squadrons for both Tank Busting and Close Air Support.
I rebuild the rotor blades on these aircraft,take great pride in knowing I help keep them in the air,just wont to say Thanks to everyone, we love you guys&god-speed to ya The kiowa a good bird
I loved wakin up in the morning to see these. You knew it was going to be a quiet day cause these lil' bad asses silenced all. Wicked lil helicopters. LOL
The truck at 2:14 is a heavy expanded mobility tactical truck (HEMTT). Out of all the vehicles in the Army it supposed to have the most acceleration. It can beat a HUMVEE in a race easy. On the top it's been modded, to make it a gun truck, unless they come like that now???
great vid! i keep whatching it over and over, don't know why, but perhaps the song does suit the vid (great song too) the oh-58 is a kick ass helicopter! would not want to be on the buissness end of it!
This is one of the best Videos I've seen so far from Iraq. Good music, not the same crap everyone else is playing. The scenes are short and to the point. Congrats to whomever did the editing, really really good editing. I'm a 46Q, Wondering if a 46R or 25V did this or if it was the pilots???
Yep. The Kiowa Warrior wasn't used during Desert Storm, just the Kiowa.
Of coarse Pilots carry M4s, read In The Company of Heroes. Guess what happens when you crash??? Nobody wants to be POW.
@JeshuaNace They actually use the M4s for more than crash insurance, I have seen video of the pilots shooting out the doors at stuff. Easier than trying to use the weapons on the helo for some things I guess.
Boost... Did you post this video or did someone else? I ask cuz I was in Outlaw troop, 4/3 ACR for OIF 1 and I remember when Mr. Buckhouse first showed us the video in the CP of those crappy old barracks. This ring a bell: We goin back to "Da News"..!
Haha, what's up buddy? Drop me a message on here when you get a chance with your contact info. Been in and out of "Da News" a lot lately. Talk to you soon.
Who are you DasBoost? Well, I guess it wouldn't makes sense for you to say who you are online, nor me. Palehorse mean anything to ya? Or - when do you turn the MMS off?
To my poker friend who made me aware of these videos. Thank you. I am so proud of what the soldiers are doing. I am a Canadian and I totally support all our troops. Amazing videos
Loved coming in to Tel Afar to relieve you guys back in early 06. I was one of the two crewchiefs who showed up to do LAO's with you guys from the Diamondback's/Outcast C co 1/10 ATK now C Trp 6/6 Cav.
Sweet vid. Which out of the Army fleet would you recommend flying? (I understand needs of the ARMY dictate.) Im flying civilian right now but looking to go WO and fly ARMY.
58Ds already have their replacement on the way, but pick the mission not the airframe unless you want to leverage particular experience/flight time later - "Ready and Forward" Buffalo Soldiers!!!
Actually, they recently canned the ARH for the Active Army, some of the National Guard units got them. Too bad, it was a great helicopter before the Army decided it needed A/C.
Badass man, love the part where they pass the truck and the turret gunner is cracking up! Truly, truly the best helo vid I've seen, keep up the good work.
i've seen these birds configured with quite a compliment of weapons, but what is the rectangle looking gun pod i see used in conjunction with the 2.75" pods?
I love the moment at 2:20 where the pilot uses the rotor RPM and trades some airspeed for a hudge gain in altitude. This is what makes choppers so awesome.
Usually, it's considered pretty stupid to fly along roads as this is an easy helo locator for enemy surface units buried among other traffic. I'm also curious as to why the AH-64Ds now fly with Marine style greys and no MMR yet OH-58s doing largely the same aircav security mission (with dumb FFAR and guns) are still 'black helicoptered' in OD with the MMS mounted. I would think you couldn't afford the skylined exposure or performance hit.
