U.S. Navy SEAL Extraction, rarely seen

Amazing skills.

GO NAVY..

Click on: Chinook Extraction (Video 4.9 mb)for a rarely seen perspective: A video of a U.S. Navy SEAL extraction was 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 manoeuvre that requires quite precise flying) and awaits the Navy SEALS to board in their F470 Zodiac.

No matter what you think of this war,
You have just got to LOVE the skill of our military....
Easy to lose lift and ditch the whole chopper.
