The Blue WOCS class was the class right after mine. I know almost everyone in that class ha. Ill have to tell them this video exists

[I3uller]

That is an awesome picture AK. Sums up almost everything that is amazing about the 58

I realize these aren't videos...and not even military. However, some of you may still be interested.

Here's a couple aerial helicopter shots I took of the ramps of Clay Lacy & Aeroflight during the Microsoft Conference in 2012 (I worked at both of these places in the past as a fueler):

I always love how the rotor blade appears to warp in pics of helos. Looks like a surrealist work.

For the 58 fans. And I must admit, I'm starting to really like that little bird as well.

[PhrogGuy]

How lovely, flying around getting hit in the face with hot brass. Bad-a@@ though.

[Wally]

Hot brass inside your collar and down your shirt is even more fun...

[SBuzzkill]

You will get neither if you tilt the rifle and make sure it's out the door.

[PhrogGuy]

Well by the looks of some of those shot groups, the pilot was getting a face full.

[akscott60]

M4 out the door is good fun.

[PhrogGuy]

M4 out the door is good fun.

[I3uller]

Yes please. OH-58 F has more useful load so lets make this standard for all Kiowas shall we?

 

[Lindsey]

Yeah and if you have a light copilot (ahem) you can keep that useful load!

[SemperGumby]

Cool. Now we just wait until after we pick up CW4 to see it, a few months before retirement.

Hell yeah Lindsey!!! That video is awesome. It's hard to find good, clear, recent footage from in the cabin (of any helicopter really). It cool to see it from that perspective for a while.

[SBuzzkill]

I think I already posted these here, but why not.

Comrades,

 

For the viewing pleasure of the proletariat. It's pretty much the most successful helicopter ever worldwide.

Read about this on another forum. Thought I'd share it with you 58 lovers out there.

 

The authors said that these were taken at Ft. Riley during a SERE exercise and somehow got the green light to do actual self extraction flights. Here are a couple of pics

 

[SBuzzkill]

I think someone already put that video in here as well, but again, why not.

Some new det video my buddies showed me last week. Lots of MEU work.

Skid Kids. (Shakes head derisively) At least they were Line guys. I have always been jealous of that GAU. Would love to try my hand at it. 50's require more Kentucky windage. It would be badass to be essentially shooting a laser at the target.

Great video, Hotdogs. Love the Huey and Cobra.
