Just a former Scout Pilot turned Gun Pilot trying to keep the memory of the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Scout Attack Helicopter alive!

#oh58d #kiowa #kiowawarrior #armyaviation #dcs #dcsworld #helicopter #pilotlife #pilot #scoutsout #bellhelicopter #rollsroyce Pretty typical shooter-shooter with PD rockets, with positive effects on target. No sound, but pretty good video quality from a separate asset.

THe music almost makes the video unbearable. Thank God for the mute button.....
It’s almost like 200k other viewers disagree with you. But, glad you enjoyed it with or without music. I’m sure the videos you took in the Kiowa are amazing too. Feel free to post them and the links. I always enjoy seeing amazing videos from fellow KW pilots.
CMWS in bypass ;)
dude u gotta post some DCS stuufff, the kiowa is getting its sounds overhauled soon!
👍👍🔥🔥🤙🤙🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🏴☠️✨🤴🤌🤌
Hell yeah God bless
Nice video. Hawaii?
@@beachboy0910 nah. Seoul S. Korea.
@@jaybird3310 Thanks, still looks cool!
Very cool man!
Thanks brother.
SOooo Awesome! Very cool stuff
Wow! Better than DCS!!😂
The Apache pilots, well they bring a whole shitload of pain to inflict. The Kiowa pilots? They just show up out of nowhere...numerous instances of those crazy assed flyboys flying CAS disregarding orders....just because they wanted to, and didn't want to leave their bros with their asses hanging in the wind over open terrain. Total respect...and Army strong. All respect to the A-10 jockeys, but Army helo pilots..the bravest mofos ever.
A good friend to have around🤘🏼
how long would such a convoy escort mission last ?
@@warthy4889 that all depends on how far it had to go, and if we came into contact during. Some were 1hr, I had some last 4-5hrs with multiple IED hits and constant fire from the enemy
@jaybird3310 hey mate, thanks for the sub on TH-cam. If you wanna spin some yarns, feel free to hit me up on Instagram: @virtual.reality.action Back in the day one of the guys I knew told me a cool story about how they towed an AH-64 home to an FOB in Afghan using an NZLAV and a battlefield fabricated tow bar 🤙🏼
Similar like OAGN-Ghazni, as ATCO I had the pleasure of working with Unfair and Pistols crews during the ISAF mission in the summer of 2010. 🇺🇸🇵🇱
do you play dcs btw ?
I’ve dabbled.
Kiowa module has been great fun.
Why did they let you use a go pro?
@@Spacetrucker13 ?
Was this target practice or engagement of a real target?
I believe this was just a quick test fire on the way out for a mission in Afghanistan if memory serves me. A lot of the terrain looks similar so usually I can tell by how many rounds were actually fired. That was a short burst.
Yep I was on hawks there in 2006. I remember all that terrain and those same terrain features. 😎🤙🏽
Real
Real
But of course!
Real
Correct!
what are you shooting at tho
Hard to see from that view, but there’s always someone bad who’s being dealt with.
Sand You're welcome
I just can't suffer the heavy metal "music"
I mean, it’s rock, not heavy metal. And in my opinion, I’d rather listen to music than 8 hours of flying that I do daily. There are plenty of other videos without “heavy metal” music. Thanks for the view though!
@@jaybird3310 I guess I'm just old then. Rock to me is Bob Seger. I appreciate you just the same…:)
Went and subscribed! Great content, sir! We actually up in Indiana recently!
Told you it was just a bunch of helicopter stuff 😂
Watching the KIOWAS work back when I was in the Arghandab was wild! those dudes were straight up cowboys, and we loved them for it 2011/2012. They smoked a couple of dudes about 300 meters from the cop two weeks into us being in country. Our dudes chased them into an orchard and cordon off the area, they ended up smoking one dude, and the Kiowas got the rest. I was at COP Millet. When I was in mosul back in 2009 we bought food from the market and told the Kiowas on station that they were welcome to grab some if they could land. They landed in our COP in the middle of the city.. our cop didn't have an LZ lol. Wish I still had those pictures.
Great soundtrack and good video editing
Amazing!
So nice! This video is amazing, what a great great adventure and experience, I'm sure!
It was!
Whats the Quinoa chopper do... Nice sim setup btw
It is a Scout Attack helicopter, designed to be down in the fight with the ground units, as well as being a forward observer way in front of the front lines, acting as a knife fighter.
Bountyhunter in Khost province AFG in 2011 were absolute legends, I have a video of a Kiowa doing a pass at about turret gunner level just for funzies. It helped they were around for the ensuing gunfight too
No way this guy doesn’t have over 1k subs. Underrated af 🔥
I just picked up the kiowa for DCS. while nothing of course compared to the real thing, but it is as close as i would ever get. absolutely love flying it. the feeling of being right there on the edge in the bird. zipping around with it. cannot wait for some missions to pop up to allow us to employ this sweet weapon system. To bad the AI pretty much sucks in DCS though. Excellent videos though! keep them coming.
great first song for this.
Love this video!
Thanks!
yo dude now that the kiowa is out you gotta post some DCS vids!
I’m going to start working on that. Might be a minute since I am currently out of town for work ;)
@@jaybird3310 heck yea
A bit late to the party.... I missed out on the kiowa game. Just after I left drum the unit (2/25 atk) went to hood to transfer from cobras to the delta. Best memories were the gunneries, and the deployments to the mog, and haiti. I did get lucky enough to get about 5 mins stick time in a 58 during a test flight in Somalia. Great video, regardless!!
That’s awesome!
Yeah the yaw induced by the .50cal in the real airframe was something you had to anticipate. Took a lot of practice to get good, and even then it was perishable.
Hey just a quick question. Is the MMS supposed to drop point track if the object goes behind a light pole? If not I want to report it as a bug to the developers.
So if I recall, yes. That used to be the case with the MTADS as well on the Apache until an upgrade occurred. We typically didn’t use point track unless it was stationary and we were doing multiple things. Search and acquire in WFOV, observe by stepping in, and if wanting to put an AGM114 on it, you step in to NFOV. But mostly it was thumb force control all the time.
@@jaybird3310 thanks for the reply. Sounds like I'll just keep doing what I'm doing then. It's tons of fun. Just hovering enough to get the MMS just about the trees or ridge. Just back far enough for hellfires to launch. I've got to get more accurate at the .50cal and rockets, they are pretty tough to be accurate.
OH-58D is now in DCS. Already bought, waiting to get off work. Again if you ever need someone to fly with or a #2, if you play that is.
That's a long convoy
Logistical convoy, and if I am not mistaken, it was going to TK up north in RC South, which was an extremely large base at the time.
I kinda miss being over there.
I do on the daily. A place I never wanted to be, has become one of the places I miss the most.
i didnt deploy infantry 2011-2014 but was tomb guard and QRF for DC these have helped with my depression for some reason. love it man
Glad you’re enjoying them!
