392heminut Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 When my oldest was in the Army he said they called those things lawn darts! Said they had a habit of falling out of the sky. <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 The Blackhawk is a bad motherfucker. I vouch for that aircraft any day of the week. <thumbsup> This is the one that you want to be on - it's a little bit different than the rest of them...

jtallen83 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 They were all pretty new when I rode in them but I'd be happy to jump in ( or out of) one any day. The accidents I can recall were all pilot issues related to the extreme conditions they were flying in. I wonder what the maintenance costs would be on one of these.......

DNP Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Drew can cover it. I think it would be a good addition. We still need the plane, but this would greatly improve our capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 $hit. And here I thought that somebody caught pics of all of guys training for the "Spring Shibi" OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 If the wings are moving it's probably a helicopter, therefore it is unsafe. Seriously though, I'd rather work with a capable STOL airplane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Most airplanes have the glide ratio of a brick. And, any "landing" is nothing more than a controlled crash... <lmao> You can fly it all you want. You take off, fly that thing. After it's in the air, let me out - I'll control my own landing... <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've rappelled out of a Blackhawk a couple of times. Lots of fun! <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
