Skillful pilots... (http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/ne...inooks_15.html)
Yeah those guys have some skills. Last day of SERE(survival school) Air Force Special Forces came in and "rescued" us with a Chinock. Two AH-1 Cobra's came in and laid down cover fire and then the big boy came in hot. I was to myself there's no way he's gonna get that thing stopped before he runs of of canyon.....then the Pilot stood the thing on it's tail to scrub speed and then sat just the ass end of the thing down, as we dove in. I knew it was all fake but after a few days(two weeks) in the woods with little food or water....seeing that big mamma coming over the trees with the door gunners hanging out the side lighting them up....it was awesome ...still gives me the chills thinking about.
After we jumped in...they pulled up to about 15 feet of the ground and started picking up speed.....but we were in a small mountain valley and there was no where to go as far as I could see.....we hit the end of the canyon, he pulled the nose straight up and stood the thing up on it's tail ....spun it around 180 degrees and then hauled butt back out the way he came in. After that day I had a ton more respect for the rotary guys, us fixed wing guys had nothing on them.
