The extraction is crazy but the pilot is extraordinary.
Well said👌
Then what is the Cameraman?
Dont know much about pilots and aviation. Is this a real difficult maneuver per say to pull off? Thanks brother.
@@JessePaiz-ys7kr I wouldn't say I'm an expert but I'm pretty certain high altitude rescue is one of the most difficult things helicopters can do. In this case, if it moved a metre or two in the wrong direction, it could mean: crashing, soldiers falling as they try to get in0 or even chopping heads off and damaging the rotors...so also crashing.
@@fredbyoutubing Interesting. Thanks for the insight brother.
Standing ovation for the pilot
This is how our friendly neighbors to the north roll.
They were really good in Afghanistan.
That pilot...what an absolute legend...
Incredible flying. Well done.
Don't forget the crewchief that called him in...4, 3, 2, 1, hold hover. Awesome work
Shout out to our Canadian Brothers who fought along side us in Zhari & out of FOB Masun Ghar in 2010.
I don't think people understand a few things here. To keep a helicopter in hover at this power is unbelievably hard, even as highly trained as this pilot is. To keep a helicopter in hover, at this power, AND keep it this steady, is amazing. The pilot cannot see where the skid is at all and is relying on his crew chief to guide him in, so their training together is exceptional. Also, the amount of wind and downforce being generated onto those men waiting, and then being able to load a casualty and themselves under that downforce is so damn hard, (I have had to do it and I have had it done to me in Iraq when I was hit) and these men made it look like a walk in the park.
I think this pilots father was a huey pilot in Vietnam, and he had to show his father who is better! (Obviously a joke, this pilot is a beast!)
didnt ask
@@haredeenee didn't ask you to not ask.
@@haredeenee I asked

Throughout history, Canadians have proved themselves as some of the best greatest fighters in military history, from the Haidans, to our boys earning a fierce reputation in the world wars, to our efforts in Korea, to getting the longest sniper kills in the war on terror.
after world war 2 Canada had the second biggest navy in the world after the USA 🇨🇦
They have been incredibly fierce and brave fighting as volunteers for Ukraine 😳🇨🇦🇺🇦
@@Victor_Victory No just dumb enough to support your cause.
bro dosest know about Saudi pilots
@@HaiLsKuNkYCorrection: at the end of WW2, Canada had one of the largest navies in the world. The current Canadian navy is a small shadow of its former self.
Canadian pilots are some of the best in the world, super underrated.
Patriots leave no one behind. God bless Canada.
I do not know how can this helicopter even fly with the weight of the pilots balls of steel!?!?
Zzzzzzzz
He hung them out the left side so he could keep the right side that close and steady. What a beast!
Wow. Steady as she goes.
Whoever piloted that chopper is a legend.
Impresive job sir.
Brilliant content, keep it up.
Think about the wind push from flaps, even made that helmet fly away.
Why are we only seeing this now FUNKER? :) Awesome.
Awesome video!
Wow! Amazing! Who filmed this? And who is it that has the gun? Friendly?
“Who filmed this?”…Excellent question.
Wicked toe in & stabilization by that crew. Awesome talented true patriots y’all. Me nephew is on a Blackhawk crew in Nagoya Japan. God bless our troops. We had to do that a few times!!! Holy it was intense !!! Like a long shot of lightning ⚡️ surging through me soul n purging out everywhere!!! Runnin jug’s line seismic survey in N.western Wyoming 1987. We had Vietnam war vets piloting our 500 Hueys n the goofy shaped Sikorsky . Luved the job
Skills !! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🫵🏾
Thanks!
Let's go!!! Incredible work!
Hell lot of skill!
That's one hell of a beefy engine, carrying those pilots balls and staying airborne.
The UH-1N seen here has 2 engines with power to spare.
Flawless!!
427 SOAS most likely, my home town. I live right at the Pembroke Airport here in Petawawa, you should see those guys fly inches off a moving Tractor Trailer Rig setup doing I'd say 60kms/hr up and down the runway for Hours. Insanely skilled Rotary Pilots. The multiple videos I have of them doing this training day/night would blow peoples minds.
post them
@@MrMAC8964 I really want to but I have friends and friends of family in that Unit that say I shouldn't because its highly specialized training for on the move drops. I was told its specialized training which also has Counter-Terrorism implications involved.
@@MetaliCanuck bah, if its done in the public eye there aint no secret. Its Canada, we are good but we aint no top secret tactical strategy shit.
Awesome stuff 👍😎
That comment at the end XD "C'est pas un doux!" haha amazing.
As a Canadian, this makes me so proud.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice pinnacle landing
Man, just a slight mistake and those blades are dicing meat. Great work by the pilot.
These choppers are crazy fast and manoeuvrable as hell.
We used to use them as our Air Ambos her in Victoria. Awesome birds.
Great pilot flying that bird
This gives me all the feels
Good job.
That was awesome
Balls out and Balls in Flyer! Good JOB!
*Team gets backed against a cliff*
"Ain't nowhere to go now but Down!..."
"Nah, ya hoser... We go up, eh?"
*In flies Helicopter Pilot with the precision of a neurosurgeon*
Nerves of steel
yeah, i saw some austrian UH-1 pilots doing the same stuff like eye-measuring close to rocky mountains in the austrian alpines. trimming and fighting against upwinds and turbulences, sweating to hold controls over the helo - whilst having winterly temperatures outside. one can only imagine what balls of steel those pilots have. respect!
Damn good flying!
Incredible bravery.
'Aaay, I just rested here there on the mountain for a little bit so she could catch her breath and then went on my waay', said every Canadian superhero ever.
That's why I'm a proud Canadian.
👍🇺🇾🤝🇨🇦🧉🦮🐎⚖️🗽
Plenty of Canadian pilots can do that. At least the ones in Alberta and BC. You should see what they do with long lines !
Saw some impressive skills while working the seismic line crews in Alberta. Swinging the hooks under high tension wires to pick up bags of gear that thoughtless jughounds left behind.
We were picked off of a mountain by a Canadian griffin, when we got back to the base.
When pilots pulled there helmets off and I nearly dropped as I'd flown with them often in civvy times, one had picked me off off log cuts on the Island and over near Golden often, toe in a skid on a stump, the other, Co, she'd flown me several times up in McKenzie Mtns NWT.. small world some reunion.. had a rematch at Canadian's hanger 6 months later..
Damn they dont even let you do this on a game. What a pilot.
Yes you can. Arma 3.
Arma 1-2-3-4, Gta V
@@sakalaathleticsarma controls are all wonky, you probably have to be as good as this pilot to do that in game lmao
@@biIIybob858 I think the controls are pretty good in Arma 3, but sometimes the vortex ring state feels too strong. It has an auto hover feature that would allow almost anybody to pull this specific maneuver off, but I try to never use it. Otherwise it will be a crutch and I won't learn.
@@sakalaathletics they took me a while to get used to, maybe its a skill issue on my part lol
Propre!
Nice on TacHel!!!
Nooiicceee and the ''Spa un doux'' i love it!
I've done this i n vietnam and in the sierra nevada's for drop off and recovery. Takes real pilot.
Well Done Lad!!!
Both a genius and a hero!
This man did our country proud! o7
Insane Crazy.
Baller
Excellent piloting! Reminds me of another pilot who hovered a "Shithook (CH-47)" over the American embassy in Saigon to take people off the roof.
Hands of surgeon
“If you are in trouble anywhere in the world, an airplane can fly over and drop flowers but a helicopter can land and save your life.” - Igor Sikorsky (Russian-American aviation pioneer)
Now, thats bad ass!
It's called a pinnacle landing, I had personally been extracted several times in this manner and as crazy good the pilots are, I still shit bricks each time.
Where they're at on that outcropping is several feet above the skids of the helicopter meaning they were just feet or less from the blades
The helo pilot is a stud holding thta still with that upwash from the cliff awesome
dude that was freakin crazy!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
You suffered a crushing defeat in Afghanistan
Good to see the Huey still being used.
Ch-146 Griffon, not a Huey...
Who are the guys filming, special forces? Silencers etc aren’t regular issue? One sounds English the other Welsh, looked like British camo too.
most likely CSOR or JTF2
Canadians = savage warriors. Don't let recent leadership fool you.
You always hear the jokes about troops getting OUT of perfectly good aircraft...
I'm puckering diamonds just watching this!
Brutal que conrtol
Would love to read the AAR if you could get it :D
Bare skills! Upmost respect
Definitely better than your language skills!
@@Ulnvtcydr it’s slang not language you utter plank! Go sit back down.
Peek for you!
Let's go brothers
Steady hand and a lot of brass.
Probably had a cold one in his hand and hockey night in Canada playing through his ears
"Here, hold my beer and watch this"
Hover step... Good job boys!!
Forgot the guy who recorded 😅
🇨🇦✊🏻
standard maneuver in USAF CSAR, but you've got to remember to set the parking brake in a 60!
nothing sounds better then a AH-huey. Not the F-36 not the -f-18 raptor ( might be wrong wasn't navy ) but Huey is a bad ass sound. HOOAH
Good pilot
Canadian Pilots are some of the best
This is why I always wanted to serve in the American military. Because like the Canadians Armed Forces they will move heaven and earth to bring a wounded, dead, to return home. They will stand shoulder to shoulder never wavering and say brother/sister your going to live and trust us because you will be home soon. They will do remarkable feats of heroic's to take their brothers home. It was never going to happen to serve my country like that due to genetic diseases. I would have in my heart of hearts been willing to do just that. To bring my brother/sister home no matter the situation. It is one of the reasons I love everyone who serves along with their families.
The families get over looked so often. Their role is just as important as that grumpy Sgt. telling you to do a set of burpees. What each of those men dd in my eyes was so beautiful and in such a loving and caring effort. Thank you so very much for showing these fine people doing what they do.
Muthah Fuggin SKILLZZZ. Wow! That's what Im talking about.
If you read some of the memoirs of chopper pilots flying in the highlands of Vietnam, this was a pretty standard maneuver in resupplying some SF A teams. It was the only way some could be reached...
They had it a lot harder using the Huey model D in Vietnam.
That was single engine and struggled at high altitude.
This is a Bell Huey model N twin engine also known as Huey 2 EP or SP model.
Greatly improved shaft horsepower and lift capability at higher altitude when air is thinner.
Testament to those Vietnam vets.
Really stable platform the Huey, amazing workhorse that proved itself in its infancy during the Vietnam war.
One of the best stories is of the two Huey's that cut themselves a landing zone in dense bamboo trees with the main rotor and survived lifting out 50 grunts over several trips without the blades letting go & leaving the aircraft.
The images of the battered leading edges on the blades says they should never have flown 10 feet let alone multiple trips to pick everyone up.
Bell built a superb aircraft right from the drawing board.
@@ljt3084 That they did. I've always had quite the interest in Hueys in Vietnam, as my Father was a Dust Off medic there 64/65. It never failed to bring him back...
I still have his painted up cue ball flight helmet...
Either pathfinders or spicy bois
What a fucking pilot
👍👍👍💪💪👏👏
Underfunded but still badass
Gangster ass pilot!
Everyone's gansta until the trees start apologizing.
Cheers to the pilot
Link?
👍
Damn LEDGEND!
Crazy Canadian?.... naaaa "Canadian who is an experienced pilot " we're not crazy🙄 who flys the beer in?
Nothing crazy here if his rotor blades were close to a rock face than yes
tabarnak!!!!
Surprised that helicopter is powerful enough to carry that pilot’s balls around.
