Some cool pics

I found these pics on a closed group on FB called "Hookers"

Not the street walker type...Chinook...hook...hookers

Army slang

I might be in one or three. Pretty sure it might be me delivering that Mohawk...to a remote range in Korea, or the other aircraft in the flight that day. Then the pinnacle. I believe it is the one south of Pyontek, S. Korea. Used to land up there for training all the time...

Tan birds are all "F" models

Not all are Hook pics...

PC sure has changed the day eeh?

That's a heck of a landing area, (with a cliff on 3 sides)...Korea again? Afghanistan?

Those bring back memories for me too. Those tailgate lz were an increase in pucker factor for us in the back. That's for sure.  Great epics.

You think you had increased pucker factor...You ought to be on the controls trying to fly half a helicopter while you knuckleheads take your time on and off loading ;-))

I'd say you guys gave me my gray hair...and turned it white!

The one with the bird shut down is Korea, and so is the one with the hook doing an aft wheel landing. That pinnacle was right at 1000 feet high and right on the coast. Really handy for an instructor pilot like me. When the guys would start the takeoff, I'd pull an engine off line forcing them to dive in order to build rotor RPM back. The hook can be placed 30 degrees nose low to gain airspeed (and rotor RPM) quickly, which is exactly what I made them do.

Fun times!
