Crazy skills 🔥

My uncle was a Vietnam medivac pilot. Back stateside he bought his own huey and became somewhat of a legend in the logging community. I once saw him flying out Christmas trees in an 80mph cross wind..... Very few people were willing to ride with him, but he never crashed.

This was one of my favorite jobs I did while in the Navy. I got to be the hooker on CVN-71 after our cruise when we offloaded supplies onto the next carrier going out.

Well, at least they had the very stable deck... Not like this:

Watching these guys do hours of vertreps was amazing

Heck yeah. Phrog life. #Marines #SemperFi

I remember doing that Vert rep

Classic Navy H-46 Helicopter Vertical Replenishment video

That's coming in with style. 😂

That's the power of the Chinook.

Probably wasn’t his first time…

The Mekong Express (Gosh they're good 🫡)

👌

O balizador puto com a cena - afinal, eu estou balizando o que aqui? hahahahahahahahaha

It’s a rudder kick in an airplane, what is it in a helo?

I loved watching the 46s doing replenishment at sea!

The "Bullfrog Bootlegger" is commonplace for UNREPS crews, but amazing to watch for the uninitiated. Sierra Hotel, Sea Knight and cargo crews!

Capt. Lateesha i'm sure

Oh wow

@KevinGa13211240 CH-47 doing externals.

I served in that squadron. HC-11 Gun Bearers.

😎👊

VertRep

Great hook up!

Vertrep...lots of practice 😉👍

SO RAD! @USNavy

Been there done that VertRep, stand by spot Five. Bean wale up your spot 5. It’s super boring as a signalman. But what is great they have to pay attention to you a half awake E-4 with an attitude. One didn’t listen and the load hit our CIWS Port Aft. They have me on tape SPAZZING OUT trying to to tell him Higher Higher!!😁 Ahh flight deck life boring boring and then boom all kinds of excitement.

@Alexmty85

Too bad the US Navy doesn't fly the CH-46 anymore... The only ones I know still in service are flown by the DOS, Columbia Helicopters (106 version) a few Charter Ops out West & the Canadians in North America.

Sideflare...those guys were amazing when they got proficient

Oh man all these great vids taking me back!

Saw this many times bringing on ammunition aboard USS Franklin Delano Roosevelt CVA-42

Back in the days at a Swedish airwing…

Using your tools...👊🏼🫡🇺🇸
