Blackhawk Landing technique

Hi,

I've just been watching the Thunderstuck video of miltary helicopters doing stuff, great for combating the mid morning office ennui.

Anyway in the video the Blackhawks appear to land fairly severely tail first. They do it more than once so I'm guessing its for a reason. Is it a standard low viz landing technique?

Thunderstruck

Also what connects the pilots helmet in the Apache to the position of the gun?
