Navy API - Helicopter Emergency Egress Device

Here are officers from Aviation Preflight Indoctrination Class 40-09 in the "helo dunker" at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, which allows individuals to practice ditching procedures in the event an aircraft crashes into water and capsizes. This evolution is completed 3 times, the last time with blacked-out ("blindfolded") goggles

Did you notice that the students are wearing "blacked out" goggles to simulate a night crash?

Oh yes, I did notice--especially when it was my turn to do it!! :-P

Looks like they upgraded the dunker. Got kicked in the head during the blackout evolution.

You're crazy, that doesn't seem easy at all. Being rolled would mess up your coordination so much. I would drown :p
