Thanks Brit for being a faithful ally, BTW you’re welcome for the ride, that is.

First of all, the beach that can support such a massive aircraft is amazing itself!

That thing is massive. I remember preparing for the Haiti operation in 94. We were staging out of GITMO. Our medevac company was in support. Getting Blackhawks broke down for C-5 airlift is a pain. Doing it at night is almost possible. Multiple seal teams were going in first. They had 10 of these running up when Clinton finished brokering a deal. I had never seen so many pissed off Sailors/seals in my life. Most of them have aerial refueling like this one with the extended boom on the right side.

I think all of the primary training is completed at Ft Rucker. Then the pilot students from the navy go to advanced aircraft training.

I worked with a fellow while an engineer at Boeing. He had been in the Navy and hated helicopters. He had some interesting stories: He was on a helicopter that landed on a beach. While taking off, he saw a plastic bag blowing around outside the helicopter. The first thing he thought was "Oh S**t." The bag immediately got suck into the engine intake. They lost power and fell about 10 feet back to earth. The helicopter he was on was coming in for a landing to an aircraft carrier in stormy weather. The chopper hit hard and while he was looking at the radar screen, it blew up sending glass shards into his face (this was in the day they used tube type CRT screens). While getting ready to evac him to shore for medical attention, he found out he was going to be loaded onto another helicopter. He got so riled up and combative, they had to sedate him. While cruising at altitude, one of the new crewmembers asked where do they go to the bathroom. They told the newbie to pee out the door. The resulting spray came back around and right into the pilots window. He had some choice words.

Unfortunate that you missed the initial APP light off and engine start, but understandable, given that the standard procedure is to start all engines with the rotor head locked, then start the head spinning once all three main engines are up and making torque, thus there's little or no visual indication of when they're going to start cranking engines.

Rotor head locked? Locked with what, a gust lock?? Lock it where??? The TTO is the only reasonable place to "lock" it, and that is when it is shut down. Perhaps stopped with a rotor brake? Do you have any idea what kind of torque that gearbox is producing and what forces would be unleashed if you just "let it go" after putting power to the head???

We still just call them 53s.

When I was a kid in the 50's, I was in the hospital for an operation and afterwards read my comic books. One stands out. It started with a scene of a jet and a helicopter on the first page and I was thinking too bad for the guy who had to fly the helicopter, low and slow. Where's the fun in that? A few days later, against doctors and mothers orders, I slipped out of the house to play war games with my friends with our cap pistols. Many years later, I had the pleasure of playing in the SE Asian War Games and what did I fly? Helicopters. The flying part was a lot of fun. The shooting part not so much.

Years ago, during Bear Hunt 83, I copped a ride with HMM-165 I believe it was on a hop that picked up some engineers that were to be taken out somewhere to build something. Shortly after picking them up, the number 1 hydraulic boost line over the pilot burst dumping hot hydraulic fluid on him and the co-pilot. We set down in a ROK Army compound fairly hard and rolled to a stop short of the soccer goal and the power line behind it. Needless to say, the ROK soldiers came out with loaded rifles pointed at us as the engineers bailed out the ramp. I just sat there watching and laughing, they thought the bird was gonna burn. A short time later, the general over the whole exercise landed in his Skid asking if we needed anything. A replacement line was on the way already and we were waiting on it. The maintenance crew replaced it, the pilot signed off on it, still soaking wet with hydraulic fluid, we told the ROK soldiers goodbye and flew off to drop the engineers off and RTBed. Even after that, I still wanted to earn my wings which I did once I returned Stateside. Emergencies happen, you just hope that there is no water beneath you at the time. ;) Phrogs forever.

The 53 actually normally does a locked start, i.e. the rotor head is locked in a specific position by the rotor brake/rotor positioner while all the engines are started, and once all three are in the green, then and only then do they dump the brake and start spinning up the rotors. And there's actually four engines to start, the first actually being the Auxiliary Power Plant, which is necessary for starting the other three engines. It supplies the hydraulic power to start them, among other things.

Former 6153 here. For me it was the sound of the engine start motors, and that great big, smooth, bass drone that it made when they cranked up to flight RPM and added collective to let the droop stops disengage. But then when they'd lower the collective back down afterwards, the sound got more rough, choppy, and helicopter-sounding. If you have a good woofer, you can hear what I'm talking about from 1:00-1:30.

The helo just created a sand storm.
