More word. 

And what an MH-53 should be doing.   [evil]

Helicopter messes up during refueling.

What they shouldn't be doing.

Hooray for Naval Aviators.   [laugh]

They're pretty lucky the boom didn't do immediate damage to the rotors...  Then again, who knows how bad it looked once they got that thing on the ground.

Actually, I take that back.  With the lack of paint, that whirly-bird is most like a Marine.

I think it says US Marines on the side of that thing.

Uhh, we'll just say it was the Marines.

Anybody see the two 60's "land" in Lake Tahoe recently and permanently lose their wings?

I guess they saw this video and wanted to see how far into the water they could get.

I guess they didn't figure on getting into Hot water.  ;D

Every time I have been on board a helo during an inflight refuel, I'm not a happy camper till we are done. The
last one I was looking out the door of a 53 over at a Blackhawk and up at the 130, on Nods. Pucker factor of 10.  :D
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

Our C130T's came from Lockheed with the refueling panel, all the plumbing & wiring in the wings and airframe, but not IFR pods or refuel tank. we never did IFR missions. They were otherwise ready to give to to Marines and have that stuff installed but now I see the Marines are sportin some KC130J models, and moving away from the KC130T's.

According to Wiki, the J model is the only model in production anymore.

I'd hate to be the air crew, wet feet the rest of the day. No jungle rot for me thanks.

Looks too small to be a 47.  Is that a 46?

Funny that the 47 (used by Army) can do water landings, yet the 46 (used by Navy) needs additional mods to do such.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
