Helo porn

[Gatordev]

I hadn't seen this before and thought it was pretty impressive. Near as I can tell, it's the 160th doing their thing w/ DAPs and AH-6s. I appreciate the fact that not one, not two, but all three weapons are fired on one attack run. Talk about "thorough."

Awesome. Some things never change. Same as the 60's & 70's.

And here I thought I was going to get to see something like this...

Please note, that's HC - not HSC. This is the way VERTREP is done!

I thought this was going to be like watching fat-chick porn... you know... "mother walrus going "thwap, thwap, thwap".

Have to say I was pleased. It takes a phrog to make vert rep look even the slightest bit cool.

I swear that redshirt at 3:50 was the BM2 who was one of my RDC's at bootcamp...do BM's do that kind of work?

 

[TheBubba]

^ AB most likely.

I can't see the video at work, but if it's a small boy, yes, the BMs work the deck, both as pallet pushers and LSEs.

Almost everything we do looks cool...

I was disappointed. I thought the title of the thread was "HELLO, Porn."

I love the sound of tinkling brass falling on these dudes after the helo makes its runs.

Ha! One of the O-4s in my squadron is in this video, which means that one of the crewchiefs I've flown with on both of my dets was also somewhere in this video. I've heard nothing but horror stories of cruising on the USS Inchon.

@ Bubba: Hater. Vertrep is some of the best flying I've ever done.

I thought it was going to be this video, it's the only one they play down here at Rucker

You can hear them talk about the falling brass at 2:07... "Brass" is clearly audible.
