@dev1anc I know that it isn't pressurized.

How do I know this?
Ever been in a low-pressure chamber? I have. Ever experienced the effects of hypoxia at 28,000 ft AGL? I have.

911 was planned by Mohammed Atta and his group in Germany. Osama bin Ladens computer specialist was a German convert. The 911 assaults were planned in Germany under the eyes of the German BND and Verfassungsschutz. Many Germans are lucky the Americans got stuck in a new Vietnam like situation. While the US is fighting in Irak and Afghanistan, the Germans persue their couvert struggle for world domination.
omg thats luck, they could crash the whole fucking heli with.............THEY WAS REFUELING WITH AN C-130?????!!!!!!!!!!! OMG HAAAAAAAAAAAAX HOW FUCK A HELI CAN GO SO FASTER AND HIGH!
and i though the pavelow cant gear the landing wheels up
later of wiki: stallion......... is weird, sides of chinook, nose as a sea knight, and the rear part is like a pavelow, is a weird heli............HOW THE FUCK DO THAT REFUELED ON A FUCKING C-130???!?!?!?
i know, in ofp, a 2001 war simulator the KC-130 (the one of refueling) taked off at like 170 kmh or mph, and i know a black hawk can go at 190 mph + or - , but is obvusly that this heli is a lot faster, but really, they can go SOOOOOO high?
@ualien42 The max ceiling for a CH-53D and Echo is 10,000 ft because they do not have their own self-sustaining on-board O2 system. The MV-22 can go up to 22,000 ft because they do have this system.
@xXxMartin96xXx The Pavelow is the Air Force version (designation MH-53D) and the USMC version designation (CH-53D "Sea Stallion). What you see here is the USMC CH-53E "Super Stallion". Three GE engines capable of carrying 36,000 lbs. and 73,500 lbs gross net weight.
@levijonessheep if you spent years of research along with millions of dollars for a very hard to make bomb, would you blow it up in the ocean? Besides, the japanese didnt surrender after Hiroshima, we had to drop a second one to get them to budge. Also, our next target was likely Tokyo
@levijonessheep ...Well, it depends. We Americans aren't dumb, we are just ignorant until someone scares the s*** out of us. WWII was the beginning of American world power, but before that our army had just 357,000 or so people. You British, on the other hand, got your butts kicked by the Japanese before we came to the party to help. The JAPANESE!!! The people who worship their so-called emperor! The people who eat raw fish and count it as a delicacy! Why? Why?! ...What was I just talking about?
And when did this Butt Kicking take place? Because as far as I know, Britain was never directly at war with Japan, that was your fight. And if anyone had their Butts Kicked I'd say that was you. Two words; Pearl Harbour!
But you got them back. With what would become known as the single largest act of Terrorism the world has ever seen. When you Americans killed almost 300,000 people in the Atomic bombings of WW2. So you can stick your WTC where the sun don't shine, fucking tosser!
@levijonessheep Five words-Burma, Malaya, Dutch East Indies, (which you fought for). Before the US came in, your colonies were becoming Japanese territories at the rate of how fast Verizon's internet speeds are. Then, though, we got forced to join in actively instead of giving you destroyers, airplanes (though it's not like you used too many of them...), weapons of other sorts. As for the atomic bombings, they weren't terrorist attacks, terrorists are militants fighting without a country's flag.
By the way, contrary to what you have stated, I personally have never condoned the Atomic bombings.
Also, ever heard of Lend-Lease? Yeah, that's right, we paid for all the War materials you provided. The same War Materials you sold to Germany at the same time, coincidentally! If you don't believe that, try looking up the Grandfather of George W Bush, you might be surprised to find that the US illegally rebuilt Nazi Germany after WW1.
@levijonessheep The first word in Lend-Lease is lend. In one deal, we gave you 50 destroyers for a naval base in the Arctic. You desperately needed those destroyers, and so I think it was a fair deal. Meanwhile, Nazi Germany didn't exist after WWI. And detonating a nuke off shore would teach the Japanese that you didn't have the balls to go and get rid of them. Yes, I don't like killing innocent people more than you do, but I do think that when something is necessary, it is necessary.
Of course Nazi Germany existed after WW1, it was formed in 1919 as The National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Ever heard of the Beer Hall Putsch? This (9 November 1923) is the very moment Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party first tried to gain political power in Germany by means of a Coup d'état with 3,000 soldiers.
Though that failed and Hitler was imprisoned, the party eventually came to power following the 1933 elections.
@levijonessheep ...sorry for the misinterpretation, how did the US rebuild Nazi Germany after WWI if Nazi Germany didn't exist before WWI? And as for a show of force, what more could the Japanese want? Our strategic blockade, which meant virtually no supplies could get in, our nightly bombing raids that decimated industry (and the populations of Tokyo, Kobe, and other Japanese Cities), and the fact that the US Marines took every island the Japanese said was impregnable? What more could we do?
@levijonessheep So, if you were at the position of being at the Japanese's throats, and they just wouldn't surrender, what would you do? Would you continue wasting millions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of Allied lives over fighting them conventionally for the next few years? I doubt that, keep in mind British soldiers were going to fight and die in a conventional war against Japan, which would last for decades before their surrender/extermination, or we scared the s*** out of them.
Well, personally I would have used the Atomic bombs. However, I would have detonated the first one in the ocean off the coast of a strategic target as a show of force.
Had that successfully convinced Japan to surrender, knowing the devastating weapons available to the US, then 300,000 innocent Japanese Men, Women and children would not have been killed!
@levijonessheep Which is what the atomic bomb did. Don't forget Churchill supported the decision to drop it on the Japanese as well, okay? So if it was a terrorist attack, keep in mind that you condoned it. Terrorism is one thing, war is another. Your military understands that, ours is learning. As for mentioning the WTC, I assume you're having a bad day, or something like that, but even that wouldn't explain your total lack of decency or humanity. So stick that where the sun don't shine.
And would it have made a difference if Churchill had opposed it? Not likely, because the American Government always has and always will do whatever the fuck they want, no matter how many they kill, because they know they have nobody to answer to.
Also, I mentioned the WTC to show how minuscule that event was compared to what America itself has been responsible for. Sorry it's true!
I'm sending something to your inbox which might interest you. And I look forward to your reply.
@levijonessheep Looking forward to it, eh? Well, I presume you think this is as trivial and pointless as I do. Glad to hear you agree. Anyway, the WTC was a staggering blow to American morale. That showed, 'they can bomb us and kill us all, we have to get revenge!' Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on the other hand, showed 'the great white men have become too powerful! We have awakened-and pissed off-the sleeping giant! We must surrender!' so in a sense, WTC was a bit minuscule in the sense...one moment.
@levijonessheep As I was saying, WTC was minuscule in that it told America that we have to fight back, while Hiroshima showed that they had to surrender, crushing their morale and spirit. So yes, in that sense. However, Japan already knew the US had them in a corner, while the US had not even suspected that such a thing could happen. So the crushing blow to morale showed America that, to survive, they must fight. Japan was merely reminded that to survive, they had to surrender. Which is worse?
I get what you're saying. Maybe I should have looked at it from another point of view. Although both events were terrible, it was not the actual number of deaths which mattered, it was what the number of deaths meant.
I still do not agree that the Atomic bombs should have been dropped without a prior "show of force", nor do I condone the WTC attacks.
I'm not sure how this is the tankers fault. If turbulence was afactor, which you can clearly see it wasn't due to the fact that the drogue was stable prior to the presence of the 53 and that the drogue immediately stabilized in the airstream once free from the probe.
There would have been a sine wave. And the pilot most likely wouldn't have attempted contact. What seems to be a factor is rotor downwash. Which is always an anticipated occurrence, but the distance of deflection on thedrogue can't always be anticipated.
What also is a factor is that the drogue was inadvertently dragged down with the probe, also due to maneuvering limitations of the 53. One has to realize that the helo is going almost as fast as it can due to airspeed limitations on the c130. This causes a significant increase in flight control response, and a decrease in time to make, or decide to make, critical corrective maneuvers. Luckily this pilot's training helped him to decrease significant damage to either aircraft.
Why this is Sikorsky's fault is beyond me as well since thousands of CH-53's have, without incident, executed aerial refueling's, and exceeding an airframes limitations, whether purposefully or not, can cause damage.
For those who have not executed an aerial refueling or are aircrew that observe them OR are even pilot's for that matter, go comment elsewhere where you may know what you're talking about. And for those who feel that their taxes are being wasted... Life is full of choices. Don't pay them and go to jail. Hoorah!
Well clearly, just like you. I've done all of those things you listed. Such as; aerial refuelling and...erm, watching aerial refuelling! I've even pulled a handbrake turn in a train before, but I'm not one to boast. Big wheel up. Woohoo!!!
This is NOT Sikorsky's fault, the pilots of the heli's fault, and the pilot of the reful jet's fault. It was simply air turbulence and the skilled pilot fixed himself before getting his rotors caught in the hose. Im tired of the ignorant idiots posting absolute BS on youtube.
Probably because he was lying. He didn't really do Avionics on them, he just said he did in a vain attempt to give his statement some sort of credibility. What a Twat!
I was the crew chief in "dash 2" during the first ever refueling probe accident. Very similar to this video, the pilot misses the basket and jerks back on the cyclic stick and then over-corrects forward, causing the blades to pitch down and take off the end of the probe.
Sikorsky (mfg) said it was impossible at the time - clearly it wasn't. A lot of fuel comes out of the probe onto the windscreen and into the engines - turbo!
We later changed 3 rotor blades on the beach and fly it back.
what squadron? my senior from boot camp is the a/f chief for the echo squadron that's just now getting to afghan. i level ordy here but i cross trained as a squadron guy...
@echocrewchief looks to me like turbulence caused the basket and chopper to drop, and when the basket came back up, the pilot jerked back on the cyclic to keep from slicing the hose open in his rotorblades.
how is that even possible for the refueling probe to end up in the rotors? did the blades flex down or something and chop it off like a rabbi conducting a circumcision?
It looks like the hose disconnects right before it disappears out of sight under the ramp, and then jumps back up. the Pilot, seeing this, pulls up so he doesn't chop off the hose, but chops off the helicopter thingy instead..... betcha that helicopter was in pain :(
Christ, that tells you all you need to know about the politically correct brigade, just a bunch of brain-dead mongols.
Sorry, I think in your language 'mongol' would mean moron, or idiot, or retard.. actually looking at your comments it may be a combination of all three.
You know, maybe it wasn't the pilot at all. Have you ever considered the fact that the Super Stallion could have been unsatisfied with his gender? Looks to me like Helicopter Gender transformation is a lot quicker than that of humans. Also looks a lot more precise than our procedures, no lingering side affects like a forked dick or a uni-boob too! He'll just have to get what he missed on the next run!
I was a LSE for HS-4 on the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70.We flew H-3's and H-60's had to direct the landing of one of the baby's and got my ass nearly blown off the flight deck.Scary.I was able to get him on deck and relaunch him though.
im no genus but something tells me dat crew of the helicopter arent coming back from what happened. If the chopper needed fuel then they just fucked there lives up
B. What engineer would design a helicopter where the rotor can contact any part of the ship. The engineer is the one who ought to be fired. Fix the faulty design, don't blame the pilot.
Rotors are very flexible and can strike the tailboom as well in a lot of machines. Part of type training is learning the limitations of the particular machine and KEEPING IT WITHIN THE PROPER NUMBERS! There are many performance details that must be learned and ADHERED to if you want to stay alive.
What an odd accident; I´m pretty sure they designed that refueling probe keeping in mind the propeller´s possible variations. Anyway, good to see nobody died.
NNNNNNOOOoooo!!! we lost our refueling probe were gonna die!!!!

@KCJazzKeys Sikorsky is an American company! They opened in Roosevelt, New York in 1925. How did you do avionics on those aircraft and not know that?

Probably because he was lying. He didn't really do Avionics on them, he just said he did in a vain attempt to give his statement some sort of credibility. What a Twat!

Give me one example of a bad British design.
Also, I'm not a Limey. Limey's are British Sailors. They ate Limes as a source of vitamins whilst at sea, you complete and utter fucking tool!
Finally, what the hell is a "Libtard" and what's wrong with being Anti-American when America is Anti-Everybody-Else. Answer me that Dicksplash!

I was the crew chief in "dash 2" during the first ever refueling probe accident. Very similar to this video, the pilot misses the basket and jerks back on the cyclic stick and then over-corrects forward, causing the blades to pitch down and take off the end of the probe.
Sikorsky (mfg) said it was impossible at the time - clearly it wasn't. A lot of fuel comes out of the probe onto the windscreen and into the engines - turbo!
We later changed 3 rotor blades on the beach and fly it back.

@echocrewchief looks to me like turbulence caused the basket and chopper to drop, and when the basket came back up, the pilot jerked back on the cyclic to keep from slicing the hose open in his rotorblades.
oldfrend 1 year ago
how is that even possible for the refueling probe to end up in the rotors? did the blades flex down or something and chop it off like a rabbi conducting a circumcision?

It looks like the hose disconnects right before it disappears out of sight under the ramp, and then jumps back up. the Pilot, seeing this, pulls up so he doesn't chop off the hose, but chops off the helicopter thingy instead..... betcha that helicopter was in pain :(

You know, maybe it wasn't the pilot at all. Have you ever considered the fact that the Super Stallion could have been unsatisfied with his gender? Looks to me like Helicopter Gender transformation is a lot quicker than that of humans. Also looks a lot more precise than our procedures, no lingering side affects like a forked dick or a uni-boob too! He'll just have to get what he missed on the next run!

A. It was most likely training.
B. What engineer would design a helicopter where the rotor can contact any part of the ship. The engineer is the one who ought to be fired. Fix the faulty design, don't blame the pilot.

what a ridiculous suggestion, helicopter rotors are designed to tilt. if you make a sudden movement like that then thats the price you pay.

Rotors are very flexible and can strike the tailboom as well in a lot of machines. Part of type training is learning the limitations of the particular machine and KEEPING IT WITHIN THE PROPER NUMBERS! There are many performance details that must be learned and ADHERED to if you want to stay alive.
