Epic Helo Piloting Skills over a Moving Ship

Watch closely the very small movements of the main rotor blades and the rotory wing disc as this Navy SH-60 Sea Hawk pilot hovers over the deck of a moving ship. You can see small left/right and backward/forward movements of the rotory wing disc as the pilot fights to maintain deck position while Special Forces fast rope from the helo. I flew an MH-60 simulator with an experienced 160th SOAR pilot sitting next to me. The Night Stalkers are the Best of the Best. KC-135 pilots not so much in a helo... I was all over the place! The 160th pilot used two fingers and a thumb… and the Blackhawk never budged from the hover spot! #aviation #avgeek #military #airforce #army #navy #usmc #pilot #pilotlife #flight #flying #fly #aircraft #airplane #plane #jet #airport #photo #photography #video #videoviral #viralvideos #lessonsfromthecockpit #podcast #show #takeoff #drone
