He flared, set it down, then wiped the poop out of his pants.

I saw him flare, but got confused after that. Is there any additional info on this clip?

That shouldnt be that bad. I imagine his chopper pilot career ended shortly after those two guys got picked up.

"oh, ye of little faith.."

best line, right up there with, "Watch this..."

Yeah.. the clip ends with the apache on the ground by the looks of it.

It would have been a bit better if it would have ended with the weapons officer saying "I told ya".

I'm not a 'rotary wing' pilot but I think he did a pretty good job of holding his heading so I guess nothing hit the tail. I'm guessing the vibration is coming from a deformed main rotor blade. I'm not sure if it possible to actually 'break' one.

If you want combat pilots to train like 'Shuttle Captain's' then that's what you'll get.

"think i can make it through there?"
"nope"
"oh ye have little faith............ look how big that is..... OH *£$*%£$"

Oh and it looks like speed and alt at bottom of screen above that box, so if i am correct they do get down and stop.
