This is a video prepared by Mark Caswell, a great videographer, for my retirement from Sikorsky Aircraft. It uses footage from about 30 years of flight test work at Sikorsky Aircraft. Look for several different models, including the RAH-66 Comanche, the S-92 and the S-76. Look for a few clips from the Air to Air Combat Tests in 1982, the Fantail demonstrator, and a scene from the Discovery Channel show on helicopters where the helicopters fly through the setting sun.

Nick,
To think when I was a new pilot on light helicopters, I took much interest in what you placed on this Rotorheads forum, as I became more experienced I actually had the courage to ask you questions to things I was'nt sure of and you gave me answers in a way that I understood, I used that information to try and become a better and thinking Heli Pilot, the small vid I have just watched have made me realise by watching you I have been privilaged to speak and converse through the computer to one of the greats in the world of Helicopters,
When I was a boy my heros were Nevill Duke , Peter Twiss and Chuck Yeager, but now as a old guy just having fun flying I have another name to add to that list...Yours, If I never ask you another question I have gained much from contact with you many thanks.

Tipweight (love the username!),
It seems to play well in most browsers, I am told it is blocked in Saudi Arabia. Try this: search Youtube for "lappos caswell" it should be the first hit. If running that still fails, I will try to strip the music from it and post a second silent copy. Pls let me know.

Peter-RB, believe me, heroics has nothing to do with it. Vast luck, hanging around with a great set of friends, and a modicum of technical and flight training is everything. There are folks now flying across the world - Africa, Afghanistan, South America, the North Slope, Scandanavia, etc, etc - who do more amazing things, proven, if in no other way, by the safe and dependable service that they deliver for their customers. I learned early on in the Sikorsky pilot's office that there is no better pilot, anywhere, than in the line outfit making his/her living every day doing what normal humans would cockup in a millisecond. Given a few hours and someone else's helicopter, most can be taught to do silly upside down splashy stuff. How many can do night approaches to rigs offshore in the rain, or goggle ops in the mountains, hundreds and hundreds of hours without a single error? Night winching, rural area EMS operations, training of newbies in slight, underpowered machines? We are part of a vast system that I think will be remembered a hundred years from now just as we look at medieval Vikings crossing the Atlantic.

Nick,
Looks like you will need to strip the music for the Euro folks.
Music rights collection agencies in Europe could probably teach the CIA and FBI a few tricks!
In fact the CIA and FBI are probably tame by comparison!
Have tried from behind a few proxies and no go!

"We are not trying to punish YouTube users, but we want to show Google what we can do if we want to," GEMA chief executive Urban Pappi said.
GEMA and its international partners represent the rights-holders for up to 60 percent of the world's music. It collects more than 800 million euros ($1 billion) in fees per year, from everything from doctor's offices where music is played in waiting rooms to discos and radio stations.

Hi Nick,
Nice to see you back here. Very well done summary of some of your accomplishments. Agree with your statement about the folks who do this for a living without an army of folks to keep them out of trouble, operating in the real world. They also do amazing stuff both in flight and on the maintenance side.
Bonne Chance, from your fans in the Great White North

Hi rotorrookie,
negative pitch is one of the nice features of the navy lynx.
As well as the harpune-locking-system.
Interersting to see, that the crew added an garmin gps ....
At daylight it´s fun - landing at a rainy stormnight with the need to open the side window to have a chance to see the ship - landings I´m happy not to have to do again.
Greetings Flying Bull

, I just made the title this way because I thought this video show this feature of the Lynx very well.I also noticed the Garmin gps on the dash, well this mil spec aircraft, they can put almost anything in there without worrying about any STC's or too much paper work......but if it was civil heli then it would be a long and expensive process to legally get it there
And for doing such landings at night in crap weather.... well YouTube - AC/DC - Big Balls My hats off to you
ps how come I cant get the embedded youtube links to work
A lot of skill (and a little luck).
Here is an amazing video of what appears to be an engine failure over an urban area. The pilot did a great job. It got the observer's heart going though! If only every engine failure had such a good outcome.
