Guest Posted August 11, 2009 I was surfing youtube when i found this: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7po3JlgWhvQ&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7po3JlgWhvQ&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Very nice piloting indeed. I know it's not under fire or under pressure etc, but even so it is very impressive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taurus 20 Posted August 11, 2009 That's truly remarkable, but at the same time somewhat dangerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TangoRomeo 10 Posted August 11, 2009 Tops. There are some magnificent testimonials to Chinook and pilot capatibilities: Waterborne Extraction: Wsq8ol9XJPY Extraction of personnel from a Rooftop: My favorite display of rotary wing flying skills is still this old snippet. lXNCZlQcvGw Not too shabby either: jYiNLgcUzJQ :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baff1 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Here's a little collection of Chinook pinnacle landings you might enjoy, I particularly like when they do it in formation. http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/Pinnacle_Landings/Pinnacle.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taurus 20 Posted August 12, 2009 1: Seen it before, but still impressive, near to it being fake 2: Same as first post. 3: Wow! That I would like to see someone do over a golf course hehe! At first glance it looked like an RC helicopter. 4: Helicopters seems to be a good vehicle to take INTO the forest to pick mushrooms or berries! About the CH-47, can it tilt the rotors individually? They must IMHO as it would be near to impossible to do those kind of landings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to find a video of Sweden's rotary wing exhibition group which fly the BO-105, but to no avail. I saw them live once and that was indeed amazing.EDIT: Found it!<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVBBwHMAl_k&hl=sv&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVBBwHMAl_k&hl=sv&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Edited August 12, 2009 by GoOB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftSkidLow 1 Posted August 19, 2009 Not to say it isn't skilled, but the Chinook pilots could not do those landings without a crew chief on the ramp talking to them. I would consider this a lot more skill, maneuvering a single pilot MD-500D (no stability augmentation or hydraulics) with wires above, below and on both sides to transfer lineman.
