Our son flies one of those. (ch-47 Chinook) He leaves in April for Afghanistan for a year. He's stationed at Fort Bragg right now. Home base for special forces.
A good Friend of mine i grew up with Navy lieutenant Pete Ober died in 2003 flying a MH-53e in Italy (same as in the video) when the #2 engine caught fire.... he loved what he was doing and he loved that chopper..
