More Context from LCDR Charlie, about the way the crews operate:
Another takeaway is always prepare for the worst. We carry everything we need for survival on our body during flights in our vests. In a true ditching scenario there isn't time to grab a bag from the back of the aircraft with your gear. Often times it won't be there after the impact of the crash. You will need to survive with just what you have on you. For any remote or over water flying having a vest with some basic survival gear and communications equipment will save your life.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
It was so awesome getting to meet and become friends with these guys over the past year. Made every long night of editing in my UA-cam career worth it. I owe it to them to fly them out to the Bahamas in the Caravan to show them my side of aviation and as a thank you for everything they did for us.
Thanks for watching!
Really great video collaboration Steve. As I said above, no matter what service SAR crews are from, it's amazing what they do. When I was in the Navy, I worked on UH-1N's in a SAR squadron. These men & women are dedicated to saving peoples lives and do a great job. Makes me want to go join the Coast Guard and jump out of helicopters! Thanks again for this video and all your videos.
steveo1kinevo we greatly appreciate the video's i personally find them very educational. And they have also motivated me to seek my instrument rating. Thank you my friend.
As a former USN Rescue Swimmer, Hooyah! "so others may live."
Lame
Really Lame
This is definitely boots on the (water) life or death. Jumping in the water (ocean) to save someone takes enormous amount of courage and skill and only .5% of the population has that skill. Thank god for the coast guard. RESPECT...
Steve, I do not understand why this video does not have like 150,000+ views? Anyone who flies should be watching this one, especially if they fly over bodies of water! This was insane man! Incredible video yet again!!!
Thanks! And yeah, I think this Coast Guard series is some of our best work - I am super proud of it! We shared the stories of these amazing heroes in a way I thought pilots would really relate to - those that saw it really liked it and retention is super high... But UA-cam really failed it. I have no idea why there was so little traction, it was a real heart breaker to be honest... In it's first weekend this episode got less than 10K views - the channel had nearly 100K subs at the time... UA-cam simply didn't send out the subscriber notifications or suggest it anywhere. The algorithm is a real enigma - I don't understand why some videos totally hit, and others don't.
I will be sharing this on Facebook and Twitter. This is simply some great work and who knows, perhaps it may get some lift out of it.
Appreciated
Watched this video a number of times highlighting how important it is to brief emergency preparedness regularly. Also have so much love with the Coastguard having dealt with many rescue organisations around Europe and the World.
As a retired USCG LCDR, it was great to watch this vlog. Though I was a ship-driver and not a pilot, was like old hometown week watching the crew work together. Was an Landing Signal Officer (LSO) and completed my quals on the flight deck while on an Arctic Deployment so can definitely empathize with Flight Chops on the cold. Thanks for providing the videos, make me being a patron even more meaningful.
As. Former Coast Guard officer,the most important thing one must remember about any water survival situation, hyperthermia is not just a winter weather concern. While the hypothermia charts fir 75degree water goes from 3 hours to indefinite, it doesn' mean forever. 70 degree water will kill given a few hours immersion withou protective suits.
Wow! The first part has 91k views and this second half has only 29k. Those people who skipped part 2 missed the best part!!!!
Excellent, Excellent work documenting your rescue drill. The in-water cameraman produced some amazing footage. Better than any I've seen of the rescue swimmer and chopper from the survivors vantage point.
Thanks.
From one UH-60A,L,M + HH Combat CrewChief to everyone that dose Anything for another human, I salute you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I’m disappointed that more people haven’t seen this. The first one should have millions of views, and so should this one. UA-cam really failed this series. What a shame...
Yup. My team and I consider this series some of our best work - and the viewers that have seen it love it too - but the way the algorithm handled sharing this, truly broke my heart. This was an inflection point in how I feel about publishing on UA-cam.
Thank you for protecting my lake. I'm on Suttons Bay, about 25 minutes north of the TC Station.
Great video to you & Steve. SAR crew are amazing no matter what service they are, and as they said CRM is crucial. As a professional pilot, I can't imagine flying without good CRM.
Watching this while researching a new novel to get an understanding of how this works.Thanks for doing it. Very educational. I was surprised to see that I found it actually somewhat emotionally moving-- just seeing that these Coast Guard boys are always ready to save people, it's really awesome. My grandfather was in the CG during WWII and I have a new respect for the stuff he did (ironically he couldn't swim) Thanks Steve!
Glad to have ben of some help to your research! Let me know when your novel is done - that sounds interesting.
I watched these vids after you mentioned how dissapointed you were with the view results, and you were correct in saying that you thought it was really cool footage, I really enjoyed it, your content is fun to watch, informative and well put together. Keep up the good work,
Training, rehearsing emergency situation, breifing, analysing from other cases
This is a really cool video, Im a CFI in buffalo and where I work were the only FBO on the field and we get dolphin crews in all the time. Its awesome to see how this all works.
Amazing man, props for going all the way. You will "forget" the cold but never the experience. Safe flying!
You guys both do great videos, but this by far was the best collaboration. It gave an awesome insight into what the USCG Helo crews do everyday. My brother was a flight mechanic at air station Atlantic City NJ and he would tell stories of the training and actual rescues he performed. So this was very familiar for me, but still interesting and exciting to watch. Keep bringing us great videos. Thanks guys!!!!
not only do you include content but you tell one hell of a story, thank you!
Part 2 was even better then part 1
Steve, I've been following you for only ~6 months, and didn't know you did this until your year end review. These USCG vids are fantastic. I agree, it's truly sad that your part 1 vid only got ~100k vids. IT's even more amazing that this is sitting at only 30k.Thanks for the great vids!
The world is a safer place with you guys in it. Thanks guys, its good to know that your not alone when out on the water.
Awesome video. Must have been an amazing experience, albeit slightly frightening and intimidating. Having that amount of power hovering over you must have been pretty cool!
I live a couple minutes away from CGAS San Francisco, and hear the H-65s on sortie every few days. Steve, Brock, thank you both for investing yourselves so deeply in this project. Truly awe-inspring what a close-knit, well-trained flight crew can accomplish.
The content just keeps getting better, awesome stuff. Thanks to the Coast guard crew for all they do and to you for showing us the side of their job we don't see .
Thanks for posting about this on your year ending recap or I would have never seen this it's great to see them work I always had a heart for these guys that put it on the line to bring people in need home to there familys!
Wow! That was awesome! Thanks for doing it! I'm probably a 7 on emergency preparedness, thanks mostly to your videos on the subject. Maybe some videos of how to ditch an aircraft. Keep it up! Thanks!
Such hard work! Very cool to get to see this.
Love watching this everytime
Amazing video, amazing Coasties, amazing Flight Chops keep up all the good work you are doing!
Understanding the basics of survival is important. What is important and what isn't is what people should need to know.
Great video! I grew up in Michigan and vacation on the East Bay of Traverse City at least once a year.
Thanks for going through it Chops! love both the channels, cheers :)
Great show. Enjoy Flightchops and most other flight Vlogs.
Fantastic Work, always look forward to your videos coming out.
Great video all around, but the end sequence is soo spot on! love the smirk of the guy in the last shot.
Holy crap what a fantastic video. Amazing cinematography, from the water and from all perspectives. Flightchops has done a lot of great stuff, this is my favorite.
Such a cool series and touch notch editing man perfect mix of action and education. Love it!
What an awesome video. Steve.. imagine, being in below zero temperature waters with no wet suit on how cold someone would get fast... these guys need to work fast and stay sharp to rescue people this fast... It's amazing. Glad the experience was awesome and so glad you shared it. WARM UP! :D
5 Great video, informative videos like this are always a re great reminder of the "what if" scenarios. Well done Flight Chops!
Yet another fantastic film! Your production values are first rate. Many thanks!
Absolutely great series! Excellently produced, top notch crew and just a joy to watch all around.
That was one of your best videos that I have seen! Thank you so much! You toughed it out and looks like an experience you will never forget. I'd have to get in better shape and revisit swimming for awhile becuase I could do half as good as you, Flight Chop!
Awesome experience and awesome video as usual Steve!
Steve, have been following your channel for a few months and just watched these 2 episodes. Have to say these really took your channel to another level. Great adventure, told in a compelling way. We all a huge amount of gratitude to the men and women who serve in the USCG. Thanks for sharing this inspiration. Best Regards.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! Happy Holidays!
Love it! Thanks for sharing this with us.
I liked this series of videos a lot. I enjoyed that you guys showed what it takes not only to become a rescue swimmer, but also what goes into a lift mission. They certainly are as professional as it gets!
Chops!...GREAT job on the ride down the cable, detaching yourself AND the even finishing with the correct hand signal!! The training form the last video was very cool to see as well.
What an amazing (and like you said honorable) opportunity to work with this great branch of the service!! And well done documenting the whole experience. Civilians just don't get to see this kind operation and EVERYTHING that goes into making run like a top!
And the crew seemed like they couldn't have been nicer guys. Hats off to all of them for their service!!!
Awesome work Steve! These guys are amazing and of course the editing is top notch.
Yep, that must be an exciting experience. Makes me really want to take going to those swimming classes serious, especially since I fly in the Caribbean. Thanks for a great video to the flight chop crew.As a student pilot, this video made me realize there's more than just doing POH in an emergency but to also properly evacuate and survive after is the crucial part as well. Big thumbs up to the Coast Guard's as well for sharing this knowledge.
This was so awesome! I'm glad I saw this, super cool!
An awesome video as always, really gets you thinking about it!
Great work Steve and to everyone involved...as part of the Emergency Services myself most folk don't get see the years of dedicated training and educated considered risk. The unsung quiet achievers.
Thanks for your service, we all appreciate it!
I think having a good PLB is very important for this and also the knowledge of good postiotions to not use too much energy nd how to remain calm
I like the fact that you guys bring CRM a lot. It is a huge part of safety these days with aviation as big as it is. We can't expect to operate in the quantity that we do without a solid form of CRM.
This was great to watch, thanks for posting!
Great video, really impressive stuff! Though I only watched it on my smartphone I felt like I was shivering myself at the end due to the great and realistic footage. Thank you and the Coast Guards so much for making this video possible. 👍
what fun....nice film.
The content is always top notch Steve. Great work!
Thanks for the continued Patreon Support to help us make them Jacob!
I'd say I'd give myself a solid 7! I was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol so we learned all of these skills for going into the woods and being able to survive until we either got out, to help arrived. Wouldn't trade them for anything. Great Video!
Great series. What a memorable experience. Well done!
Epic video, great editing, and the ending gave me a good laugh
Wow! What a great and informative video. Keep up the strong work. Go, Coast Guard!
Thank you guys. I am at ease you are there!!!
This is drop the mic cool. Thank you Mr Chops :)
Sheesh. This doesn't have near as many views as I would have thought. Top notch content.
P. S. Found this because of year end review which is sad, one of your most produced videos. Epic.
Great video man! Nice job guys. What an awesome experience. Cheers
Great Video Steve! Being an ex sailor I can relate to how cold the water can be. Great job staying afloat I think every aviator can benefit from taking an underwater egress course or a survival course. You don't know you need it until you need it.
3, i am new ti the emergency procedures in aviation. heck, i am new to aviation but so excited to learn!
Awesome Steve. What an experience!!
Thank you Coast Guard for all you do!
Great series!
Great videos Steve. Very impressed with your approach to the task and of course the work of the rescue team. Been a keen subscriber for a long time now and great to see how you have developed your channel. Well done and thanks. Tim (UK)
Thanks Tim!
Awesome video!!! Very grateful for the men and women serving in the US Coast Guard. Thank you for your service and making the world a safer place!
Fascinating content. Thanks guys!
That video is awesome.
Fantastic. Another great production that really showed the work these great men do to protect and save us if we ever need them. I hope this video inspires a few who might think this line of work is for them. Certainly a noble cause. Thanks Steve for another great video.
Thanks!
Excellent. Well done!
Great episode!
Absolutely awesome!
Thanks for sharing
+Martin Dörsch - glad you enjoyed this one! I consider it to be some of our best work.
Greart Vlog Chops & Steveo
Hi Steve,
Awesome channel, watched most of the stuff in the backcatalog by now. Keep doing what you’re doing and greetings from a fellow aviator from Latvia!
Thanks! And glad you found the back catalog :)
Been through some pretty in-depth survival training. Don't fly much away from a flight school (yet) but I think I'll be ready when I do
Incredible work these Coast Guard guys do! Thanks Flight Chops and everyone for making it happen and featuring these guys. Wow! Very brave!
Thanks - This is one of the ~200 episodes I have done that I am most proud of!
Being an ex Coast Guard boat Coxswain this was an amazing video. i had the opportunity to be lifted off my boat (41ft utb) in a basket (HH-52A) Late 70's and fly around NYC and be lowered back down to my boat. Helo ops we used to call it. Such an amazing experience.
Of course when we were out on a SAR call looking for people in the water and the Airdales would come on scene and they were there with their spot lights searching for an hour or two and then had to leave because of fuel and the boat crews had to stay out all night, not so amazing!! lol
It puts themselves in the basket or it gets the rotor wash again.
Haha - well played sir :) I will never forget that scene from "Silence of the Lambs".
Actual lol
Yes .. that actually was pretty funny! ... great line riff!
Haaaaa that was a good one
Great video Steve......Too Cool.
Great Job! Outstanding!
This was Awesome Thank You.
Epic, deserves way more views.
Best video so far.
Traverse City! I wish I had know you were in the area. I fly out of TVC, and I am the airport manager for Woolsey Memorial Airport (5D5) at the tip of Grand Traverse Bay. The Coast Guard crews train up at Woolsey on a pretty routine basis. Nice video.
Amazing Video Congratulations.
Wow, awesome stuff!
Massive respect!!
Greetings from Germany
loved that video
you and steveo are a great pair! thanks
Always be thinking ahead, playing what if scenarios and train as much as you can, even if that only means watching videos at least
what a very scary job. But amazing that people do it
its amazing seeing my flight school in the video background. Ive been going to NMC aviation for a few years now, actually started when you were doing this flight! would love to see you back in TC to talk about college flight schools maybe?
