How to get a helo out of the snow
This Eurocopter Ec-135 seems to be in quite a difficult situation. Leave it to the pilot to get this helicopter out of the snow. Lovely job, I might add.
Helicopter tow job
This helicopter crew wanted to help out a few guys that had a boat engine problem. Well, that was a really stupid decision, since their helicopter went down for a swim. Not the brightest of helicopter pilots.
Osprey bites the dust
The V-22 Osprey is the first operational tilt-rotor aircraft in the world. Capable of taking off like a helicopter but able to sustain airplane cruise speeds, the Osprey is really a marvel of technology. But its beginnings were crazy and tumultuous.

Seaking crash

Russian Helicopter shot down
A Russian helicopter is shot down in Chechnya. This is just crazy. No comment.

A US Navy Ch-46 Sea Knight comes in to land. Only problem is the pilot doesn’t really do it well. Consequence? The helicopter falls short of the helipad and hits the drink.
Proximity alert
These two Puma helicopters were trying to do a nice formation pass over the crowd. In terms of proximity, they were flying at the limit. And when they went beyond that limit, all hell broke loose. Their rotor blades collided sending both helicopters in uncontrolled spins to the ground.
Super Stallion super mishap
This CH-53E Super Stallion is attempting an aerial refuel but things take an ugly twist. The pilot encounters some turbulence, tries to keep the helicopter under control and…. Well just watch the video and you’ll see what i mean.
Shitter take-off
A Mi-8 helicopter pilot decides to do a very unconventional take-off. The sort of take-off that the only thing that comes to mind is “crazy”. So what? This is just way too cool, a crazy aviation video that kicks ass. Enjoy!
