  • Damn fine job! The pilot did a great job landing that beast on a moving carrier!

  • @BCAD01 I agree in the end he obviously did not do any damage or got anyone hurt. This was a junior pilot and the only thing I can say is that overall he was over the spot way too long. SEMPER FI!

  • Landing with crosswind on a boat... Damn boat commander could have turned his boat into the wind to make it easier :)

  • @Iamnottheyeti Don't get me started on this boat commander, worst ever to any Marine alive. Apparently he got his ass chewed by the Commandant once and since then he has had an internal hate for Marines! Example, if you think I'm being harsh, he left us with peas and a piece of ham to eat two nights in a row for midrats! UP YOURS CAPTAIN FUNK, HOPE YOU GET THE BIG GREEN WEENIE IN YOUR REAR!!!

  • @komodomoe As an ex LSE, I agree. I saw plenty of chances for the LSE to set him down. If anyone was Jr., it was the LSE.

  • :38-1:00 were pure agony. JUST PUT IT DOWN!!

  • Mannn I was waiting for the helicopter to barrel roll and turn into Megatron -_-

  • Great flying skills, thanks for sharing

  • How was he able to stand? lol 175 mph down wash is pretty brutal

  • Such a big heli for sailing!

  • Does anyone know if military pilots follow the FAR's like us civilian pilots do? I know they have to when flying in the states, but what about combat zones?

  • better safe than sorry!

  • @01shawnjenn This is the perception that everyone gets, but the pilot actually does not listen to the marshaller. He/she should be listening to the crewchief, who is really in charge of directing this beast. The only time both the pilot and crewchief listen is when the marshaller gives us the wave off signal or go around/try again.

  • @BCAD01 i know i was about to say the same thing, those things cruise at around 35 knots, "40mph". and if it was windy, hell, thats a damn good pilot if you ask me
