Nice first-person action cam view of the finest military helicopter in the world...

It's interesting to see how they are both massive button mashers. There's also no coolie hat where the trim would be. Usually that coolie hat shape is a universal shape to indicate it's for trim (except maybe on search lights). I can't imagine they don't have an electric trim, so I'm assuming it's that concave button where the coolie trim would be, but still interesting it's a different shape.

Anyone know what the pinky trigger switch is for? I'll have to ask my -60M co-worker if they have one. I figured the counter-measures would be on the collective, but maybe they held onto the legacy release trigger.

Of interest (to me) is the HGU-56/p helmet configuration:
OPS-CORE side rails
Slim line NVG battery pack
Aerodynamic wind cover on boom mic
Right side velcro attachable convenience light.

Also curious if the gunner seats are same as NAVAIR designed in MH-60S. Calling @IKE for that one.

If there is a positive side to the death of telework, it's being able to ride my bike to the office..
