Outstanding job by a great young pilot from Pennsylvania!
Can't add anything else to this... the next picture is worth 10,000 words!
If you don't think military pilots earn their pay, you need to take a look at this picture.

This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helicopter rescue mission.
The pilot is a PA National Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life.

Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the ass end of a
chopper down on the roof top of a shack, on a steep mountain cliff, and hold
it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear. If this does not impress
you... nothing ever will.

The clanging when that pilot walks must sound like church bells.

I crashed on two of those contaptions...a CH-53 and a Huey. Got a pic of the 53, it broke in two pieces. My first military helo flight was on a Chinook (CH-46) just like that one. That pilot has a set of balls

My Bunky from boot camp flew those in Nam, and he was quite adept at it.
