Try this on your next outing.
NAVY SEAL EXTRACTION (read before viewing video)
WOW!!!! Attached is a rarely seen video of a US. Navy SEAL extraction filmed from inside an MH-47 Chinook helicopter. The pilot has lowered the ramp, dipped the tail end into the water to partially flood the compartment, (a maneuver that requires very Precise flying) and awaits the Navy SEAL's to board in their F-470 Zodiac.
You have just got to LOVE the skill of our military.... very few Pilots would attempt this, too easy to lose lift, and ditch the whole chopper.

way cool ..but the CH-47 D is designed to float...but that is about as cool as you can get....either that or locking out of a sub is so cool....
