Nice Video  Used to be, (in the olden days of CH-47 B's, C's, and Super C model Chinooks), a Chinook formation flight was any 2 airborne at the same time anywhere in the world :rofl

Nice Video.  That must have been a whole Brigade!  Strange, I didn't see any gunships.

19 CH-47s, 10 UH-60s.  
19* 35 + 10 * 16 = 825
(more or less)

Smooth, real smooth.


Let's see how many flying aircraft with tiny fragile important parts we can fit into the same amount of airspace as possible.



Fricking geniuses...

Wow! I was there. Was a flight of the 159th Brigade (101st) returning to Mosul from a mission. It was absolutely thunderous and fantastically cool. Where did you find the video?

:cool:

I'm sure that their intentions were to have several crashes.  Its not like they were training or anything.

Chinooks are big hanger queens.  Very impressive to see that many airborne at one time.  

Chinooks one of the few aircrafts that can have a mid-air with itself.
