  • Our radar site in Korea (K16) had Mohawks also stationed there. They'd fly up to the DMZ and film and then bring back what they observed. But most of these guys were incredible pilots, and a few even a little crazy. Proud to have served with them.

  • @jjjazzycraig my grandfather was shot down or an engine malfunction in vietnam in a mohawk

  • Best clip of a fantastic bird. Spent some right seat time in the hawk and was always amazed how well it performed under all conditions. They built this one right!

  • Could you send it to Kalvin_Nutt@yahoo.com

  • Great footage!! I worked on Mohawks for 10 year in the US Army. I would love to get a copy of this if you could send it to me?

  • Incredibly beautiful footage and aircraft! Very well done indeed. Besides, this plane is far more handling and "overpowered" (because of that loop on just one engine) than I thought so far, mostly taking into account its size and weight. Excellent!

  • The video really does showcase what the Mohawk can do, aerobatically. It's insane and it looks unnatural given how large it is.

    Great aircraft!

  • The Squadron CO had a lump of metal on his desk when I was at Libby AAF, I asked him what it was, he said it was the remains of a mohawk after a less then bright nugget did a slow roll over his on post house.

  • Cool video. Don't know who your dad was, but may have flown or served with him if he was in the 73rd in RVN prior to Ft. Rucker. I flew OV-1s in RVN and Germany before the GaARNG. More than 2,500 hours in that killer seat. Lots of great people in the Mohawk community, but they are dying off too rapidly. Mohawks are getting more and more popular nowadays. Thanks for posting.
