The mad American aircrew survived….

Bonkers….

This is what happens when you train at sea level and don’t take increased altitude into the equation….

Skiing with Apaches, there’s a new one.

What’s the idea behind the attempted manuoevre (can’t spell the bloody word) ?

Not to crash?

Pretty intense!

Well it’s called a ‘return to target’ apparently, soooo…

I thought it was a pedal turn or something myself.

Amazing how well they stand up to impacts!

that is one tough helicopter.

“This mission will be considered a failure if we all die”

It’s a safe landing if you walk away from it

No, it’s a good landing if you can walk away.

It’s an excellent landing if you can use the plane / chopper again…

I’d like to see what the chopper looked like when it eventually came to a halt.

Looks like too many pies and not enough seatpost was the root cause.

Doing it right

😆

looks like about 25 secs in someone on the ground is struck by the tail.
