Chinook extraction of a Zodiac

[Ex3]

This is pretty badass!
Ravage, I thought of you when I was watching it.

U.S.Navy SEAL extraction was filmed from inside an MH-47 Chinook helicopter. The pilot has lowered the ramp, dipped the tail end into the water to partially flood the compartment (a maneuver that requires quite precise flying) and awaits the Navy SEALs to board in their F470 Zodiac.

Honestly, I think I've seen this video in every branch of the SOF community on Youtube.

Ranger, SEALs, SF, Marine Recon etc.

It's a nice look inside the Chinook though at how the bird has to swallow up some water to recover the CRRC.
