Here is a rarely seen video of a U.S. Navy SEAL extraction filmed from
inside an MH-47 Chinook helicopter. The pilot has lowered the ramp,
dipped the tail end into the water to partially flood the compartment,
(a maneuver that requires very precise flying) and awaits the Navy
SEAL's to board in their F-470 Zodiac rubber
inflatable. You have just got to love the skill of the pilot.... very
few pilots would attempt this. It's too easy to lose lift, and ditch
the whole chopper..... especially when the rubber inflatable comes
into
the chopper & suddenly adds weight.
Watch how this helicopter comes down on the water so navy seals can
load their boat on board.
