Crazy Canadian Pilot Extraction in Afghanistan

From our archive, this footage appears to be early-Afghanistan and shows a crazy extraction of injured Canadians using a CH-146 Griffon. We don't have a whole lot of context other than what you see here.

    @@JessePaiz-ys7kr I wouldn't say I'm an expert but I'm pretty certain high altitude rescue is one of the most difficult things helicopters can do. In this case, if it moved a metre or two in the wrong direction, it could mean: crashing, soldiers falling as they try to get in0 or even chopping heads off and damaging the rotors...so also crashing.

    I don't think people understand a few things here. To keep a helicopter in hover at this power is unbelievably hard, even as highly trained as this pilot is. To keep a helicopter in hover, at this power, AND keep it this steady, is amazing. The pilot cannot see where the skid is at all and is relying on his crew chief to guide him in, so their training together is exceptional. Also, the amount of wind and downforce being generated onto those men waiting, and then being able to load a casualty and themselves under that downforce is so damn hard, (I have had to do it and I have had it done to me in Iraq when I was hit) and these men made it look like a walk in the park. I think this pilots father was a huey pilot in Vietnam, and he had to show his father who is better! (Obviously a joke, this pilot is a beast!)

    This is why I always wanted to serve in the American military. Because like the Canadians Armed Forces they will move heaven and earth to bring a wounded, dead, to return home. They will stand shoulder to shoulder never wavering and say brother/sister your going to live and trust us because you will be home soon. They will do remarkable feats of heroic's to take their brothers home. It was never going to happen to serve my country like that due to genetic diseases. I would have in my heart of hearts been willing to do just that. To bring my brother/sister home no matter the situation. It is one of the reasons I love everyone who serves along with their families. The families get over looked so often. Their role is just as important as that grumpy Sgt. telling you to do a set of burpees. What each of those men dd in my eyes was so beautiful and in such a loving and caring effort. Thank you so very much for showing these fine people doing what they do.

    They had it a lot harder using the Huey model D in Vietnam. That was single engine and struggled at high altitude. This is a Bell Huey model N twin engine also known as Huey 2 EP or SP model. Greatly improved shaft horsepower and lift capability at higher altitude when air is thinner. Testament to those Vietnam vets. Really stable platform the Huey, amazing workhorse that proved itself in its infancy during the Vietnam war. One of the best stories is of the two Huey's that cut themselves a landing zone in dense bamboo trees with the main rotor and survived lifting out 50 grunts over several trips without the blades letting go & leaving the aircraft. The images of the battered leading edges on the blades says they should never have flown 10 feet let alone multiple trips to pick everyone up. Bell built a superb aircraft right from the drawing board.
