Hi ! Fantastic footage !!! I am a vet that has a special request … I am sure you have many requests … but this one is special … I have a friend of mine that I went through basic training with back in 1986 … he is a decorated war veteran of the rank of command sergeant major …. He will have served 30+ years on the day of his retirement.. he is based out of Aberdeen MD and his last wish is to be brought from his place of duty in Aberdeen to his house in York Pa by a black hawk … I know it is a really big request .. or wish .. but he has given many years , blood sweat and tears for this country. Would y’all be interested in making this flight for a retiring Command Sergeant Major If logistically possible ?
Those angles from the 360 on the nose looking backwards and the one from the clamp mount on the tail looking forward were amazing!
I was an f18 tech and inspector in the marine corps, and also worked as a contractor doing just phase inspections on f18s. The phase inspections are no joke and we stripped the jets down to the bones inspecting every single inch of the aircraft. Seeing a bit of the helicopter phase inspection was super enjoyable! Thank you!
As an active duty MH60S mechanic I feel like I can appreciate these videos so much more bc it's so cool to see how the aircraft I work on soars the skies and to just see how beautiful it really is from different angles and POVs
As a part 107 drone pilot, I LOVED seeing the brief interaction between the pilots making sure both knew where the other was. And I've encountered some minor stress flying drones, but can understand his stress flying these shots to some degree. Fantastic job!
That Blackhawk looks awesome at every angle!
That drone pilot has some serious skills. Holy crap!! In order to get true visual appeal you need to instinctively know the possibility, pace, and flow of basically every angle when you’re filming an object on the move in the air like that. He has that instinct. Very obvious. Keep that dude as a resource for sure. Nice work and one KILLER helicopter. Legendary. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
That GP 360 shot of the noise while banking gave me goosebumps, never seen live footage like that of a helicopter.
As a photographer, that truly is some amazing footage. You did not disappoint
The Blackhawk is an amazing piece of machinery. Sparks you truly are a fortunate man, to be able to be able to work hard, have fun and be helpful to people.
Every time I've seen a blackhawk in person, that bird was there to save a life... and every life that I saw them come to rescue was saved.. My hats are off to the amazing folks at the Whidbey Island Naval Station Search and Rescue, who answer the call from local agencies when they are the last resort. Cheers everyone. Thanks for these beautiful shots of this amazing bird.
These videos cure my depression I’m so happy there’s good people on this earth
I love the helo footage! I used to run Bell 206 and 204 spray crews for forestry work, so I love to see people using rotary for new and innovative ways. Keep up the good work!
I've been involved in alot of slingload ops during my Army career, it wasn't until watching this video that I fully appreciated the maintenance that goes into keeping the blackhawk flying. Having 15,000 lbs hovering 12 inches over your head, the shit gotta proform without hesitation.
You promised breathtaking shots - and YOU DIDN'T DISSAPOINT!! Great job in preparing all of the cameras and bringing all these people in, but also great storytelling / editing!
As a U.S. Army UH-60 Blackhawk flight crew chief I've got to say the videography was awesome! Great job! Its so cool you was able to get this far with this bird registering it, everything!
Amazing! Spent 8 years working on Pavehawks and did some helicopter training out in Utah! You guys are living my dream! Thanks for showcasing what is possible!
The production quality of this is insane, well done guys!
That front 360 camera view was astonishing. When the Black Hawk banked into the turn and the shot was still straight. Can't wait for some more of those views
As A former inspector for Sikorsky (maker of the Blackhawk) for over 30 years, I really enjoy the videos of your Blackhawk. I retired from Sikorsky in 2018 and now Live in North Carolina. I see them flying around quite often for I live near Fort Bragg .( soon to be renamed to Fort Liberty )
