Cool- you at AFCEC? We got to try out the process at Silver Flag last summer.

Nope, I'm a contractor working with AFCEC on the robotics side, but I've been out to Silver Flag many times.

Video is old as balls, but probably not super common to see Swedish infantry fighting in Afghanistan on video.
Everybody forgot their helmet, though.

They both walked away, in the longer clip the dude whose helicopter gets hit can be seen walking towards the guy who landed with his arm out in the universal posture of “dude, what the gently caress

At first I thought he was the pilot and was thrown out the door.

Same, thought that dude got pitched out of the heli on impact.

I remember hearing the audio of when a news helicopter collided with another in Phoenix like 10 years ago. Not gonna look it up and post it here but that one stayed with me for a while.

That other pilot is just a straight-up dumb loving idiot. Hope he gets grounded after almost lopping off three heads, loving up his copilot and wrecking two perfectly fine Bells.

Just curious if it's a training, maintenance or if someone stripped out the safeties and anything else that looked "black box" and sold it to Russia,China,Israel...
