Best joke I've heard about helicopters is 6000 loose parts flying in formation. 😂

I like the fact that a troop transport can deliver 11 soldiers with equipment, and the 101st can come over the horizon with 50 Blackhawks. My math says that means they can put over 500 men on the battlefield in like 5 minutes. Who the hell is ready for that?

Man, most places aren't ready for 1 soldier, let alone a battalion. As he's said in other videos, they're basically firing a meat missile at the enemy.

Airborne all the way

The helicopter's tail rotor counters the main rotor torque. The main rotor tilts in all directions to direct thrust for movement in any, or no direction at all. Thank you, Igor Sikorsky, for coming to America. The Fat Electrician's USS O'Bannon video is the best three minutes on KZread that doesn't involve cats.

When The Fat Electrician started, his videos were about military jobs and equipment.

They wanted the hot tub on the boat just a quick soak😂😂

That was in Tampa Florida. During a spec op exhibition. Amazing aircraft

Ever notice that extra propeller on the tail of the helicopter, that creates sideways thrust on the back end to keep the body from spinning under the main rotor.

I'm waving my arms and my cat's looking at me like I need help

Nailed it! That means you’re doing it right! 😂

The earlier stuff is his tick tocks where he started I belive

The rope is coiled in a bag so it doesn't get tangled up. One end of the rope is attached to the bird and the bag gets tossed out one door on each side.

That rope on a boat was in Tampa. I was working on one of their other yachts. That was fun watching it in person.

The Huey was nam The UH-1H was exported to many countries and is still in service in some of them. However, the Huey was gradually withdrawn from US service, being replaced by the UH-60 Black Hawk and its variants. However, the Marines still operate a heavily modernized variant, the Bell UH-1Y

Short but I love him. Fun to learn

That viewership/subscribed ratio is good. It means new people are seeing your videos.

It sure is

Strategically Transfer Equipment to an Alternate Location

It's been in active service since 1979

Skip to 4:13 to watch actual video

If you guys have any questions about flying, hit me up on here

I also learned its your finger hitting your palm that makes the sound and not your fingers moving together

I would have snapped my fingers for a hundred bucks if I get to keep the Thanos glove

Temu really knows how to target their audiences! This channel will buy all of your hydrating face masks!😂

SeaHawk variant for the USN has beefier landing gear and different load bearing points. Can't say more.

And I forgot to tell you, I am a pilot for the United States Air Force auxiliary

The tail rotor that counters the the helicopter body spin.

I saw a Blackhawk at my local airport. Those things are huge and once the blades were up to speed that thing got off the ground and flew away way faster than I thought it would.

first guy here, I think this is the first time I've ever seen a video the minute it goes up

I think Blackhawk was first used operationally in that huge war in Grenada... and then again in Panama, in 1983 and 1989 respectively...

Nice to see a channel from my state! Greetings from Cheyenne! Great video. I like your style and the fact that you continue to talk about the subject after the video. Shows you actually care instead of just chasing that money. You get my sub for that.

They used UH-1 helicopter in Vietnam and the UH-60 Blackhawks never had retractable landing here and it went into service in the 80s

He’s got another earlier video where he talked about the A10.

Check out his videos on the Night Stalkers. There's I think three total. The Night Stalkers, another one where the Night Stalkers steal a Hind, and the one about the Killer Egg. They're fantastic. EDIT: I'm an idiot, and I need more caffeine. They are in fact the Night Stalkers, not the Night Hawks. I happened to see NightHawkInLight in the sidebar as I was typing the comment originally.

You mean the “Night Stalkers”? The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR)?

@henryvandeventer2457

You're thinking of the Night Stalkers, not Night Hawks. 160th SOAR, aka Task Force Brown. They're the guys that Strategically Transferred Equipment (ie, a Mi-25 Hind, the export version of the Mi-24) to an Alternate Location during Operation Mount Hope III. They fly the Chinook, multiple Blak Hawk variants and the Little Bird, aka the Killer Egg.

Hey 307 you should check out. ( the fat electrician - the u.s.s Barb - the submarine that sank a train.)

That’s one off his old ones

Basicly replaced the old Vietnam Huey gunship/medivac. Mutipurpose truck of the air like the f150/250 or GMC Sierra. The other two was the box truck and assalt buggy.

There are civilian versions of the Blackhawks used for Wildland firefighting called the Firehawk cal fire in California and the Los Angeles County Police Department has one in there fleet to they also sell them for privet us

You should have watched one about releasing bears

I may be wrong but I don't think any Blackhawk has a retractable landing gear.

Throw your hands in the air and wave then like you just don't care... Look into his video on the anti cow projectile, 😊

Comment for the algorithm. I really enjoy the way you guys react.

We appreciate that, thank you so much!

No retractable gear on The Blackhawk, also never had skids. The Northern pavehawks have skiis that go over the wheels. There is a version of the UH60 ( blackhawk) specifically for the mavy called the Jayhawk or the Seahawks that has a differant configuration of the landing gear to make it shorter for ship board ops. No the Blackhawk was not in Nam.
