[ QUOTE ] That is some good stuff right there!!! I like the one w/ the vehicle that loses it's "palet" and goes cruising across the ground. [/ QUOTE ] That was hilarious!  My favorite memory from my time in the Marines was when my freind droped a Hummer for his helo. We were two CH-53s each with a Hummer slung from our hooks. The crew chief and I were in the back watching our load. The crew chief looked over at the other bird and saw that the sling on their load was starting to break. If the sling breaks, the part still atached to the helo will slingshot up into the rotors. We told our pilot and he radioed them to "pickle" their load. Naturaly we were watching to see what was going to happen. My friend (who was the crew chief on the other aircraft) looked over at me with a look that said "I've always wanted to do this". Then he hit the button to release the hook.  Crunch!!! The really funny part was droping off our load at the LZ, the Grunts were wondering where the heck their other Hummer was. They didn't belive us when we told them. The only bad part was the fact that we had to go back a week later, and lift the wreck out of the forest. |

That video was funny! Really like the one where the truck keeps on rolling after landing. |
