SemperGumby Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 In "honor" of those Drone "pilots" we keep reading about lately. PBS has a documentary. http://video.pbs.org/video/2326108547/ Quote
SBuzzkill Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 The drones themselves are pretty cool. Quote
Jester2138 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 The drones themselves are pretty cool. I agree. I love computers and airplanes and the marriage of the two is very cool. I just wish it didn't have to infringe upon our own chance to fly. Even so, at some point in the future if they can do the job better and more safely than I can then I'd be foolish not to give it up.

Lindsey Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Sorry guys, going through my weekly youtube searching, but here's an incredible one: Inside Combat Rescue on National Geographic premiering February 18th. Features USAF CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) and PJs (Air Force Pararescuemen). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2FnW9GoY94 This premiered today. Watching it right now. Exceptionally good footage.

Lindsey Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Here's a show by Smithsonian about the USAF CSAR crews that picked up Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell after Operation Redwing (2005). This is the same operation in which a US Army 160th SOAR MH-47 was shot down, resulting in the deaths of everyone on board... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83VyH9l__m4 1 Quote

Lindsey Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 Here is some motivation for the weekend. I posted that one a few pages back, but it's definitely my favorite Afghanistan deployment video. Professionally (and tastefully) done. Definitely a great motivator! 2 Quote

dwasssiu Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 So I came across this today while I was video surfing. Not really the sort of video for this thread or is it? It IS army aviation at Rucker. Maybe it's old news...I don't know. Found it amusing so here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwHei5DzIyg&list=PLB25E35B6F0AECD03 Quote

01CelicaGTS Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Came across this video today of a training exercise in Miami. It seems pretty awesome, but I'm sure that if I saw that and didn't know about it I would be scared ****less, lol. Edited March 13, 2013 by 01CelicaGTS Quote
dwasssiu Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Wow! I bet this terrified a ton of people for a little while. Quote
Jester2138 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 The Nightstalkers did something almost identical in Chicago a year or two ago. There are a bunch of videos of it on Youtube. Quote
