The OTHER Viper. …
Low? Yes. Fast? Hardly. The whole time I watched, I wondered what happened to his right leg. But the end of the video gives a hint.
I dont know what to think about it. it looks like fun but on the other hand I wouldn’t want to deal with any kind of emergency in it
Speed is relative… If I say I will run as fast as I can, it still won’t be very…fast.
I don’t know what was worse? Flying that thing or transporting it home again…?
The dude clearly doesn’t have the same view of safety as I do. But nor does a wingsuit base jumper.
They are seriously just the most epic awesome and badass looking monster helicopter ever created.
Oh, to have a western heavy-lift helo for DCS. Spec Ops, CSAR, resupply. So many possibilities
I thought this little video was interesting in that I saw something I’ve never seen on a Seahawk or Blackhawk before. If you go to 2 minutes, 30 seconds you see that the helicopter appears to have fixed machine guns on each side of the nose.
I think you’re right, they do look like barrels. I guess you can pester surface vessels with them.
I don’t think the guns are currently mounted (barrels only in place):
I believe those are pitot tubes
The UH-60’s have them mounted above the cockpit.
It appears even the older SH-60’s have them mounted on the nose
You both are most likely correct but I dare say they look like machine gun barrels IMHO.
I say they look like sharks with frickin’ lasers on their heads.
Yeah, not to be a party pooper, but they are indeed just pitot tubes.
It would be frickin cool if they were machineguns though!
Except at airshows, when chicks come up to look, “Why yes miss, those are 49 mm cannons, for dogfighting Mig’s…”.
Reminds me of that Huey pilot song…
