Brilliant! Reminds me of a picture I saw of some RAF tecchies doing a wheelchange on a Chinook while it was in the hover.

Gutsy move by the deck crew, when your under a very large helicopter which is inches from your head and looking up, well......you soon appreciate that theres a lot of metal hanging just over your head and that it can move very unpredictably.

Nervous?......you bet!

Think they should have had a large pile of sandbags or maybe an aircraft recovery inflatable jack under there somewhere.

Brave - NO

Stupid - Yes

But they got the job done, so I hope the aircrew got the beers in.:ok:

Good bit of hovering.
