Unbelievable Chinook Helicopter Extraction Video

Extreme Chinook Helicopter Troop Extraction. This is totally insane and the pilot is awesome!  It looks like this was a video taken by a US Soldier in the Middle East.  The Chinook Pilot definitely has some serious piloting skill and confidence.  I can’t imagine how hard it would be to hover the Chinook on it’s tail and allow the soldiers to load from the rear.

Check out this Chinook Helicopter Performance video.  It’s easy to think that flying Chinooks would be ‘boring’, but it’s obviously a super powerful helicopter.

In 1968, US Troops numbered over 535,000 and the Huey Helicopter was a familiar sight.  The helicopter proved its worth in the early months of 1968 when the Tet Offensive started in Vietnam Cities.  During the offensive, armed UH-1 gunships would fly on the flanks of the combat zone while UH-1 slicks delivered troops into a landing zone.  If the LZ was under fire from Viet Cong positions, the gunships would try to keep the Viet Cong under cover.  It was during this time that the AH-1G HueyCobra was introduced to the battlefield.

Sikorsky S-60 Helicopter – The Army’s Ultimate Tactical Transport System

ByMike Byrd

The Sikorsky Model S-60 was proposed to meet the Army’s need for a Utility Tacticla Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) to replace the UH-1 Iroquois.  The prototype was first flown on October 17, 1974, and the Army ordered 2,260 of the type, designated UH-60 Black Hawk, although budgetary constraints confined the order to 1,400, the first entering service in June 1979.  The Black Hawk is considerably larger than the UH-1 and initial aircraft could carry 20 troops compared with 11, plus a substantial underslung load (8,000lbs).
