I know some may look at this and say "of course they can do that." I, however, am in complete awe of the training and skill it must take to pull something like this off, along with all the other things they do.

Wow, they take the chopper right down to where the water actually comes inside!!!! I would never have believed it.

Thank You Lord for men such as these.

[GeronL]

That looks really dangerous for a helicopter

[TADSLOS]

It's practiced all the time.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I was thinking the same. I wonder if the ground crew flushes it with fresh water as soon as they land back at base or the ship.

I like how the crew jump out of the way as the boat comes aboard.

Yeah, that’s why none of our warships ever function for more than twelve months, eighteen tops.

...oh wait...

Notice the concertina wire on the water’s edge.

This is interesting, but nowhere near as good as Barack personally killing Osama Bin Ladin.

It’s SOP to do a fresh water washdown of the outside of a Navy helo on a regular basis when a ship is underway. (The ship’s crew is absolutely THILLED by this use of potable water, BTW.) So, I would definitely think they would flush out the inside after a maneuver like this.

Now thats coming in hot.

I’ve seen them balance the rear gear on the roof of a house for insertions while the front end is still aloft.
