Respect to all my law enforcement,military and other real working male jobs

My son is a recently retired Night Stalker; I have followed him all over the World, and I have attended his graduation and retirement. I have had the honor of visiting the Unit, 160th Regiment, at Ft. Campbell, Ky. I, to this day, am stunned at what he has done and become. The proud feeling in my heart and soul is immense for my son. He served 22 years as An MH-60K Blackhawk Pilot, 13 tours to the Sand Pit and about. I am sure some of you Nightstalkers here know him very well. I will abstain from noting his name. Incredible Aviators, one and all, Support Team as well.

The first time I saw a Blackhawk helicopter, was when three of them landed in the ball fields in front of our barracks in Gelnhausen Germany, like ~1986. I was a tanker, but after I saw those helicopters land and take off, I desperately wanted to be a pilot. They are amazing.

As a retire serviceman I can proudly say the Nightstalkers are the best at what they do. I was able to sleep when I knew they were close by.

Cliff "Elvis" Wolcott, who was killed in Somalia in 1993 aboard Super 61, the first Blackhawk to crash, was a legend in the 160th. He helped develop the DAP system and flew many missions with Gerry Izzo (pilot of Super 65 I think) and Mike Durant, the lone survivor of the Super 64 crash, in support of SOF troops during Desert Storm

We must have met back then,

Growing up in the early & mid 2000's my stepdad had a buddy that use to come over and hangout all the time. He was a pilot with the Night Stalkers. I always knew he was a total badass. He would disappear for a couple weeks at a time and then pop back up. Sometimes he'd say stuff like, well looks like I'll be gone for 2 weeks. Me being a little kid I always would ask him stuff and he'd never tell me. But he'd always say stuff like, where I'm going it's gonna be hot with allot of sand. Wish I could track him back down and talk to him some more.

I built blackhawks for years and im proud to see these were used to protect folks throughout the world.

Great video! Thanks for showing love for the 160th. My cousin was in Bsqd on chinook. The things they can do is unreal. They are always busy & always in the middle of the hottest fight going on anywhere in the world.

Great video! It was very informative, and I really appreciate the amount of detail and effort put into these videos!

The 160th SOAR Airfield is just awesome to look upon and watching the little bird pilots practice maneuvers is crazy and something that I will never forget. Some of America's most talented men serve there. RIP Brothers.

My wife is an Army Brat.. from ft. CAMPBELL KY.Tn. Her father is a Retired Chief Warrant officer 4.. who was in the 160th he flew Littlebirds in Wars in Panama to The Desert Storm ... he was and is a Bad ass!!

For a nice fictional series about the Night Stalker’s check out the books written by M. L. Buchman. The first is titled “The Night is Mine” and there are seven in the series. He has several different series featuring these pilots and other military personnel involved in covert ops. He has a series about an autistic NTSB investigator who is called in on military crashes involving a variety of military aircraft. The first in that series is “Drone”. There is another about the Chinook. I’ve really enjoyed that series.

We had these guys on our boat. The kitty hawk is all them flying a bunch of special forces off our boat into war. It was pretty cool to watch.

I came back from deployment in 14’ as a 13B and sadly I couldn’t reclass to a 13F to go into green platoon. Shame but things happen!

It reminds me during WWII, where night fighting schools really began and it was very well trained to the pilots on how to fly at night, the Japanese were very proficient at flying at night and that's why, without radar or instruments but we had a few hellcats that has the ability to pick up the enemy on radar and shoot them down in the middle of the night

Awesome sauce!

I signed my contract for 15C (grey eagle operator) and ship out this feb. I’m hoping to join the 160th!

It's pretty awesome to see this. I was stationed in Campbell in 101CAB as a dart for these and a few others. When this narrator says they have that much time in nog flight time... they aren't kidding. The amount of time I lost sleep during the night while the pilots were training with live ammunition is hard to even count. They'll go at it hard until dawn!
