Just watched the video. Going out the front in a -60?

(rotor arc issues, we always came in the sides)

Glad to see the pilot appears to be OK.

I'm not a fan of the camera vulture.

My old squadron. Glad he is OK.

God bless the SAR guys...Coast Guard and Navy. Glad he made it out. Had my first overwater low level today and gained a whole new respect for what those missions must be like.

Yeah, that did seem odd.

Yeah, that did seem odd.

The path off of the helipad was probably to the front of the aircraft.

"Living up to the squadron's name, Golden Warriors, the pilot ejected,..."

Huh? What are these media knuckleheads trying to say?

On a good note, gotta love the SAR guys.

Wow, that happened less than a week after the COC.
