  • Actually, it was exactly like Trooper said, a control lockup. The flagpole was actually to the left of their flight path, it just isn't clearly shown by the video. They had flown the route earlier that day and new where it was. The old H-65s had small b ore servo's which was a known problem. It's been corrected since then. As usual, watch actually happended is commented on by the ignorant.

  • I guess I will chime in since I was on that aircraft in 1993. I don't know who got this footage but it has been said, the cause was from a "servo jam" and not a "mast" which appeared ahead of us. The maneuver caused the hydraulic pump which controls the servos to cavitate thus locking the flight controls in the last flight position. This caused a drastic nose up attitude on the aircraft. Tests showed the aircraft was about 3 seconds from crashing. The aircraft incurred major damage. CMD

  • I WANT A RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • over tork!

  • Seriously how the fuck did he pitch that thing so high?

  • As a Retired, Coast Guard HH3F Dual Qualified Aircrewman, we would do the same maneuver on the H3's. It's called a "Cyclic Climb." Usually followed by a yaw pedal kick (turn). You "Tupper Puppy" Drivers need to be careful!

  • WTF

  • Wow scary, I don't understand all the mechanics behind what happened because i'm a rescue swimmer, but i do know the hydraulics can cavitate getting air into the lines and locking up the servos and thus the controlls. this would be freaky.

  • does this hekicpoter can do looping?

  • It's as Trooper says, I've seen the video numerous times as a former flight mechanic for 11 years on the HH-65. The story goes this takes place at the CG Boot Camp in Cape May. The 65's would frequently "buzz" the parade field during graduation ceremonies. The video is spectator footage. A common maneuver that has since been banned on the airframe is to come in low and fast and pull back on the cyclic. Too much force causes the hydraulic system to cavitate thus locking the flight controls.

  • servo jam, jack stall. its all similar.....i think lol
