Awesome 1:1 Pilot

[HeliDan]

I am not sure if this photo is real or re-touched, but it shows an awesome pilot if it is real!

Not a retouch. Just something a tandem can do that you wouldn't want to try with a tail rotor heli. I did this kind of thing in a CH-46 a few times. Really not as hard as it looks. Kinda neat, really.

I love it! No joke I was there. I was on the other aircraft that the pics were taken from. It's such a rush to randomly find pics of my boys on the net!

freighttrain33,

I'm in the CT army national guard. I have an ETS coming up next year, so I may change that answer soon. :)

That pic was taken sometime in 2003 in Afghanistan. I can't remember where, though. The whole place is mountains and valleys -- I never knew where I was. :roll:

Hey Hookers.

Have you guys registered on chinookcrews.com?

I just went over there to get the link and found out that my PIC from Desert Storm had died back in Sep....This man saved my life and brought me home to see my firstborn.

Anyway, good to see more Chinook guys around, load up some pics and tell us some lies!!
