my brother is in the 160th, and loves every minute of it. family is very proud of him

Being a pilot is hard, being a spec ops pilot is just badass.

We lucked and got to use these guys for a insert thingy we needed. They showed up the day before for the brief, did a time hack and we briefed them. Told them we'll start noon tomorrow. 1130 next day, we started moving our gear to the pad to be ready when they showed up. Up until now every air asset we had was always LATE.... I'm not talking a couple mins either. 1150, started checking the horizon, nothing. 1155, still nothing. Couple guys started to get up and wonder back inside thinking we have another 30 mins before they get here. 1159 I started to get up, I took one good look around and nothing. 1159'40" they came outta nowhere over our compound, did a hard bank, and no shit their wheels were on the ground at 1200. These guys are good! We got a E ticket ride that day.

SO Proud & Blessed to have 2 grandsons in our Military. ...one is a MARINE & a mechanic on these birds. ..the other is in the NAVY, green side so he can be a medic in the field. ...both inspired by my late husband, a 100% Disabled Vietnam Vet, a RECON Marine, a true Warrior!...GOD BLESS ALL OUR MILITARY !!

Proud son of a former Night Stalker. My father was part of the group when it was formed in the 1980s

I'm a pilot, but these are the real badass pilots 160th SOAR is just a whole new breed.

I was an AFSOC pilot out of Hurlburt Field in the 1980's-90's. We worked with these guys quite a bit. Make no mistake, they are the best Helo pilots in the world! It was always a pleasure to watch them in action. They can unload a Little Bird off a C5 and snap it together and be airborne in well under 5 minutes! Pretty amazing.

The 160th soar has the most elite pilot's in the us army.

When I was with the Army Rangers, had the pleasure to work with these people. Amazing Personnel, true professionals.

I got to build UH60m Blackhawks for these badasses when I worked at Sikorsky aircraft in Stratford CT. A true honor. That was where I met Keni Thomas who fought in the battle of Mogadishu. Being that im former Navy who spent some time there in 93 prior to that whole debacle, it was quite awesome. He told me these dudes were so badass they were literally flying their little birds into alleyways so narrow there was about a foot of space between the buildings and the rotors!! I've said it before, I'll say it again....there isn't a damn country in the world that will whip your ass more efficiently than the US.

My son is in the 160th and combat proven We are proud of him . He is one hell of a soldier!!

I just finished reading Mike Durant's book The Night Stalkers. I HIGHLY recommend it to you guys.

Call me nostalgic but I miss the days I worked with these guys. I was in the 160th’s UAV company for four years. Supported so many operations you would think we never stopped working.

These guys create our enemies nightmares. Got to meet a few of them back in 03 at Ft Campbell Kentucky. So much brass, so much clinking strolling by.

Night stalkers never quit... 24/7 all day all night.... 7 days a week....

160th SOAR and special forces together in action (SEALS,GREEN BERETS MARSOC,RANGERS,MARINES,.....)The perfect combination,much respect from Spain

Night Stalkers Don't Quit!! 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment are badass Army chopper pilots who kick ass and take names for GOD and Country,the USASOC way.Hooah!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘

Hey just wanted to tell you your videos are fuc*ing AWESOME! I LOVE THEM!

Had a group tbat flew "Sea Bats / Little Birds" on my ship for a short time, that flew night missions. Bad ass and much respect to them.

I was stationed at Fort Campbell in 1983 at the task force 160 which turned into what it’s today is very impressive

I could watch these kind of videos forrrr days...love this shit...got the itch a bit too late to contribute...my brother was in 160th late 80’s early nineties...some of the stories were epic...proud of him my other brother in navy and all our service members...THANK YOU🇺🇸

These guys are definitely the tip of the Spear, when it comes to SOCOM Aviation

Nothing but mad respect 🇺🇲👌 as a vet I salute all active and the fallen and my fellow vets ....

Outstanding video brother! Rest in eternal peace CW3 WOLCOTT and CW3 Briley! Your courage under fire is never forgotten. Salute!

night stalkers DON'T QUIT AND NEVER LEAVE ANY ONE BEYOND

Back in the mid/late 80's in the Ranger Batt, airfield seizures used to be the big thing and little birds (and 160th) used to play a big part of that. Nothing like flying on a 8x2 on the outside of a little bird putting rounds out as you come into an objective. I never saw them ever put skids on the ground...they would just flair in, hover about a foot off the ground and you bailed...it was that quick. I remember during a live fire exercise coming to an objective being hit with artty rds and we landed while dirt clogs were still falling back to earth that's how on top of things these guys were. Best pilots in the world...and just super nice guys in general.

Planes you fly, Helicopters you Control. These guys are a great example of having AMAZING control of their aircraft. I’m currently enlisted as a 15T in the United States Army Active Duty, shipping out to fort Jackson soon. Hoping to put in my flight packet, gain some experience, and strive to be a part of their team one day. HOOAH!

This video is definition of EPIC!

I was lucky enough to spend 5 of my 11 years on active duty flying DUSTOFF as a medic. I had about 400 hours under goggles and was a pretty good crew member and instructor. Got to work with those guys a few times and they were unbelievable!

OMG the black helicopters are coming!!!

The radio comms at the start gives me goosebumps every single time!

My dad was a night stalker before I was born. Very cool to see what they do.

These helicopters are always flying over our house at midnight lmao.

Hey, keep up the epic works, love every bit of it!

Badass at it's finest!!

Great video and the music excellent bringing the Tension of said operation!

HELICOPTER POOORN

God bless them all! Best combat pilots in the world!

I think I saw Dslyecxi in there somewhere! Seriously badass unit. Loved seeing them fly over us at my last duty station.

Years ago before I had ever heard of 160th I got a job working nights and jokingly called the night shift the night Stalkers after the bad guys from the movie Cobra. Later I would learn about the real Night Stalkers and decided I was not nearly cool enough to call myself that and that they deserve exclusive rights to the name.

This is awesome and DEADLY!!! When there done fighting they want seconds and say whose the next on the list.👍

Song: Shredder - Really Slow Motion

I flew w these guys while tdy in North Carolina in 08! Best of the best

Thankyou for your SERVICE GOD BLESS YOU 💎

Who made this? I'm flattered that some of my footage got in this video. NSDQ!

It never gets old! There is nothing like doing 100 Knots sitting outside a "Little Bird" over the City watching the Hagi's scatter!! Or Fast Roping on a rooftop....then being Stabo'ed out of the Danger Area!!

My husband is a Major in 160th SOAR and he is absolutely superhuman. He is unshakeable. It could be the apocalypse and he would not emotionally respond. He is an analytical aeronautical logistician. He is a jump master, rigger… he’s the spartan that kicks your ass out the door from extremely brutal conditions. He can sleep buried in snow. He broke his neck and the pain does not phase him. I am a Neuroscientist who was his tutor and we met at Texas A&M in 2007. His voice is deeper than corpse husband and people have thought he was corpse.

Death waits in the dark..........so true but this comment can be taken to so many levels of understanding and comprehension of various aspects of life.

Night Stalkers Don't Quit 💪

I had a family member who was a blackhawk pilot from 2000 - 2008; it's all I ever wanted to be when I was growing up. Then i developed a stammer and couldn't make the military physical. Broke my fucking heart.

Number 1 USA.🇺🇸🦅 God bless América.🇺🇸🙏🏻

The best and most professional pilots and crews in the world! They operate out of Ft. Campbell and I'm happy to see them when they fly over where I live. NSDQ

I got to ride with the 160th once. Complete and utter professionals.

Fabulous .

My dad flew chinooks in the 160th very proud of him

Good stuff! 🤘🏻🤙

God bless you guys. NSDQ.Regards from Brazil

LOVE***USA,,,,,,LOVE

Excellent footage

Absolutely badass

I miss my old unit. so proud of those who are still serving.

I feel like this video hasn't gotten enough love yet...

SOAR, pretty badass I must say

Soooo cool. I personally know a man that was part of the Night Stalkers.

Thanks for this great video....do you have the full video and audio comms from 2:36-3:09? It's an unbelievable clip where you can hear the apache pilots watching this all going crazy, talking about how amazing the nightstalkers flying was and laughing. Been looking for that full clip for ever. (without thi other guys loud silly narration over it that screws up the original comms) also if you are familiar with that operation please inform what/where it was since it is clearly released and not really classified anymore. (if i am wrong though, please disregard the request) Thank you!

My cousin Micheal Burgeson was a NIGHT STALKER. Didn really talk much about what he did with them. Just said they did "some badass shit" lol But told us some war stories from when he was in the 82nd airborne division. The shit they got into!

Why does this not have more views????

Thanks for posting this N.S.D.Q.

Lol the MW3 radiochatter! I like it

Best of the best

Over here at Ft. Campbell 101st airborne hooah. See these brothers time to time

I’ve read about them. They are badass

I used to watch these guys fly from my barracks window in Cav Country at Ft Campbell. Our hanger was on the opposite side of the airfield from theirs also.

NSDQ, the most awesome man I know!

He served and I plan to follow

In remebrance of super six four 💪🏼

In 1993 I was doing a job for Unisys at NASA Langley. At the end of the day I walked across the highway to the nearby mall to find a place for a cocktail. I had just stepped on to the mall parking lot when something made me look up to my right. Hovering over the edge of the mall parking lot was a helicopter I didn't recognize (I now know it was a Blackhawk) at no more than five or six hundred feet above the ground. It was huge and just hanging there in the twilight. I stood in awe as I watched this chopper -- it was completely silent -- I mean no sound at all. It hovered for a minute or two and then silently flew away. NASA Langley and the Langley Air Force Base are adjacent to each other and I always assumed I saw some classified prototype. I'll never forget it.

Epic

Great vid man. One day I'll be there.

Respect

Everybody gangsta till a ninja shows up, then it's run for ur lives lol

Those dudes are badass

1SixZero#1❤

Could you do one vid, with colombian special forces? That would kick ass!!!!!!

Wait the 160th they do helicooter evacs and stuff like that but do they have there own spec ops infantry?

I would like to say thank you for America's military service personnel for their service to humanity, I know you are all under a lot of pressure in how you act in foreign countries.

Green Platoon class of Aug 98 NSDQ

Maybe do a m1a1 tank video?? Would be awesome

can you do a Blackbird video?? that would be Amazing

the best of the best of helicopter pilots in the u.s military. ...( death comes knocking)

There’s a Warrant Officer in the 160th that is a Seal at the same time, before he was a pilot he first became a Navy Seal, then transitioned onto the US Army

I’m going into the guard as 15U (chinooks) and I want to join these guys one day

SA-WEEET...doesn’t get ANY better than this

" God Bless America "

Hold up the school bus is dumping a load off.

Parts of this were filmed in Tampa. Cool.

hell yea

Some things sayings I made up are “We are what makes you fear the dark.” And “The monsters in the darkness.”

Night Stalkers are bad ass.. they’ll make a seal flop if they have to

I would love to see a Navy SWCC video please.
