He's recently transferred back to that famous and recently renamed helicopter base in Alabama, think to be an instructor maybe. I forget Fort Rucker's new name other than it starts with 'Nov ...', and the guy it is now named for flew many, many, medivac flights in Southeast Asia, and was awarded some serious medals.

Incredible seeing them up so close with their distinctive sound and also the incredibly skilled pilots. They basically turned round at the end of our road after each run, just amazing! Many thanks for the help, it was appreciated. Lots of folk in town still have their Chinook stickers!

Pretty cool watching the Chinook and the Herc. It reminded me of when I was flying in my early days [In the US] I would fly my C-172 in the valleys nearby. One day, as I came around a tight corner, I began to start my climb out of the valley. Trimmed up and scanning the area I see something funny to my right. Looks like a smoke trail [not a contrail] to my 2 o'clock position. I didn't see any aircraft so I kept climbing. Still, the smoke trail is getting thicker and closer but still no aircraft sighted. I then lean WAAAAAY forward and suddenly I see a C-130 in my forward window! I realized we are on a collision course and I shoved the yoke forward to start an immediate descent. After the descent, I figured out what had happened. The reason I didn't seem him was that he was "behind" the a/c right window/door frame. Due to our both maintaining a stable flight, our approach to each other never changed so he remained hidden behind the window frame until I leaned forward. Thank God for the C-130 smoke trail. A few weeks later while downhill skiing the same valley, a C-130 flew through the valley at the same altitude I did before. Haha, I never did that again. Cell phone towers were the killer to valley flying.

We lived near Odiham on a slight hill. The house was surrounded by many tall trees. One day a Chinook was terrain following and came right over the house, as they often do. But I don't think the pilot had allowed for both the terrain rising and the tall trees ( presumably their onboard mapping does not show trees). The engines were wound up and he climbed as hard as he could to only just miss the trees. I could look into the open ramp as he continued climbing past the trees. I was used to them but this was the lowest and loudest I had experienced. Maybe he really knew what he was doing and had it all planned but looked like a mistake to me as no other occasion were they that low.

I used to fly in them a lot in Panama in the 90s. Everywhere we went down there was flying nap of the earth. They flew very close to the trees. Flying along the canal, we would fly below the decks of passing cruise ships, looking up at the waving passengers lol. Hueys were more fun because we could see out better, but the Chinook were faster, both flying at tree top level.

Quote from the Crew Chief “ you only have to worry if they stop leaking “ when we finally landed and he lowered the ramp we all skated down the ramp on a film of hydraulic fluid.

Yes, depending on the area and authorisation given, flight as low as 50ft AGL is permitted. When flying concealed approach and departure, down to 10ft AGL is permitted.

Unfortunately when we flew through there in MH-53s, it was usually at night so there aren’t many good videos or stills of us in that area.

In California, the military helicopters follow the freeway system when flying. Once in a while, I'll catch a Chinook, Super Stallion and even a Cobra.

Would love to go over sometime(Ireland) it's on the list, just wondering, how often do they fly, or is just sit and wait and hope they're training that day? Great video 👍
@DarrenEdwardsAviation Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. It's just sit and wait, just enjoy the stunning views. If an aircraft goes through, that's a bonus. Days can be very long. Wrap up warm at the bottom. If it then feels warm up the top, then you can remove clothing. it's best to have too much on than not enough.

Gotta love those workhorses. Did 5 years in the paratrooper’s, Chinooks and C130s were what we used the most during my tour. Now 48 years later, I am still able to identify both by sound alone. They do make a lasting impression. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

I live less than a mile from the US Army California National Guards (1106th) AVCRAD, I see them and Blackhawks every single day. Often the big Palm trees at the amusement park across the street get bustled about by rotor wash, sometimes they get so low you can smell the jet fuel fumes.

I think that one day, a whole squadron of helicopters ought to be moving as fast as they can through the mach loop, while jets are just maxing out going through, passing the slower choppers over and over again, and to hear plane pilots signaling to the choppers, "On your left".

Your camera angle makes it seem like the Chinook is flying extremely low. It looks like it spooked the sheep. You'd think they would be used to it.
@DarrenEdwardsAviation Жыл бұрын
It does look low, it doesn't spook all of the sheep, the Farmer was turning into the road that leads to the farm, maybe they spotted it, and were hoping for some food other than grass.

@Mike Emery I know it looks really low but it just appears that way due to the angle it was filmed and the terrain. If it was that low you would see dust and debris getting kicked up from the rotor wash.
