NAVY SEAL EXTRACTION
Below is a rarely seen video of a U.S. Navy SEAL extraction 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 maneuver that requires very precise flying) and awaits the Navy SEALs to board in their F-470 Zodiac.
Very few pilots would attempt this. It's too easy to lose lift, and ditch the whole chopper.
You have just got to love the skill of our military....
