This was one tough mission to complete! Flying the SH-3 low and slow with precision while everybody is shooting at you takes alot of concentration. I would definitely stained my flight suit if I have to fly these missions for real. Hats off to all the SAR crew.

Nice job. I see you found the lesser of four evils route in.

how hard is it to land back aboard ship? Nice job!

Practice, practice, and more practice.

Big mother is great!! I havn't made it in yet but I will "i think" hey is there a chance that we could get a Big Mother bird in the navy grey and white paint job too?

Come in from behind and keep a little forward thrust vector (about one notch on the gauge) until you are almost aboard. Toggle off the cockpit view so you can see down. You are now full TV and landing gear. Then just push the stick forward to move aboard and use the throttle to go up and down. Like 8 says, practice but once you have it, you can hover all around the ship, fly sideways onto the pad anything a helicopter does.

Hinch's ships are to scale. That landing pad it to scale according to the pilot who flew the mission. It IS tight.

Wow swift, another great vid! Nice choice of music at the end.
