UH-60 Blackhawk
FRIES Demonstration

2009 Joint Services Open House
Andrews AFB, Maryland
Saturday May 16, 2009

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as this Blackhawk drops off members of the United States Army and demonstrates the Fast Rope Insertion and Extration System employed by the Blackhawk and many other helicopter platforms.

Like what you've seen? If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

I think the insertion part, they did it slow for safety, waiting for 1 guy to be clear of the rope, but in real combat situations don't they do it WAY faster?
