Oh man ......those guys are the reason their aircraft have web seats ......:o)
So the troops don’t suck up seat cushions when pucker factor sets in !
I flew with a lot of UH1 and Blackhawk sorts that had lots of time in Vietnam and elsewhere that could do magical things that can make all but the seasoned passenger or crewman puke !
Fun in training ........scary as hell in the dark stepping off skids still sliding forward at about 10 mph or more. Sort of get off fast or yer going back with us thang !
Especially when flying nap of earth profiles, with pilots who honestly believe,
“If you don’t come back with branches in your skids, you are not flying low enough.”
