The graduation classes were awesome in 69 / 70 with about 4 or 5 dozen UH1's heading down the Ozark highway toward the fort with the last 2 using the smoke ring on the rear of the engine. Worked in the tower at Hooper Stage Field.
Man... this takes me back a year or 40.... I was lead ship for our graduation. 81-35. Super Red- to see that crest on a uniform is a moment in the wayback machine. Outstanding!
@@jamesngugi6264 well James- we regularly flew with pilots of many countries at Ft Rucker. They were on "exchange" as I understand. Meaning they we already members of their country's military organization, they'd passed certain tests specific to flying, and were approved by their country to be in the US for a year while they are learning. I think a quick trip to the Kenyan military recruiter could answer many of your questions more specifically as requirements may be different from one country to the next. If you need a sponsor we can explore that
Cool video. I graduated class 89-01 and we didn't even have cell phones or Go Pros to document anything. We only had those huge SONY camcorders and could only sneak them aboard once in a while. We were one of the first classes to start IERW in a Huey. Those birds could take a beating !
Congrats Pilots! Note to editor(s): I much prefer aircraft engines + pilot chatter over music. Even simple things like, “We’re gonna land just past that treeline”, and ATC takeoff/landing advisements. Adds more to the video than any music.
Yeah, I had no way of recording the vox chatter and was assigned to make a video for our graduation. What I ended up doing was taking ATC traffic from up north and layering it in over the video, but if it was full volume it wouldn't make sense. If there was no music, it would have just been screeching and high pitched whine. Wish it could have been different
All you people saying this stupid shit about how you dont like the music in someone elses video that you are watching FOR FREE ... These people are student pilots and youre lucky you get any fucking video at all; they are busy as shit doing their real jobs and threw a video together on the side. They dont have a group of audio technicians following them around to make sure the engine noise or radio chatter was captured. I just so HAPPEN to have purchased an adapter that allows me to record the radio chatter, it cost about fifty bucks or something. Guess what, to use it you have to ask permission from the instructor, and why would they want a student potentially gathering evidence? So they can make an extra curricular youtube video? Forget it. You learn not to ask and just wait till youre a real pilot and make your own decisions. Bottom line: Shut the fuck up, study hard in school, play team sports, and apply for pilot training yourself. Fuck you.
I would say I guess our future will be safe in their hands. Somehow,the men and women we need always get themselves where they are most needed at the right time. They deserve all the respect they work for,because they carry a very heavy load of responsibility. We are lucky to have them!
Very jealous, Wobbly Ones. I didn't realize until much later in life that I should have joined, and I would have experienced the awesome camaraderie and experiences that you have. Wish I could have done things differently. Really enjoyed this.
GOOD STUFF... I live on Ft. Wolter, Mineral Wells, Texas. Primary helo training during Vietnam Rotation. I'm camped at the New Alamo where the control tower is located and ran training operations. Beautiful place... Has Texas National Guard/DOD to my North and I'm 130 feet above everything else. Wonderful... Y'all flying by look at the flags on the tower....
I crewed a 58 and a Huey when I was in and yes that was a long time ago. I find it interesting it seems they have the doors ajar when flying where we had to take them off. But I certainly would've loved to crew this aircraft. Most of the pilots I flew with went to Vietnam and they could
Army units traded out their OH-58 Kiowa helos a couple of years back and they got replaced with the UH-72A Lakota. Maine Army National Guard has two Lakota's in their inventory now and they are based here at Bangor International Airport. There are other units that have UH-72A Lakotas for their DUSTOFF or MEDEVAC birds. So their not just for training, but for real world missions and operations as well.
@@dylanpersaud8407 so is most of our UH60 Fleet. The only advantage of the 60 over the UH1 is it's lift capability. UH1s are easier to work on, cheaper to maintain, and can fulfil 80% of the missions a 60 can. And all of the missions an LUH72 can but better. We should have upgraded our Hueys instead of moving on to the LUH-72.
For the ASVAB, get an ASVAB study guide off of eBay. For the aviation test, the SIFT, get a SIFT study guide off of eBay or amazon. I recommend “The complete SIFT study guide” amazon sells.
Yes, it's one of the pathways. West Point, ROTC, OCS and WOFT are the pathways. The only downside is that if you go the USMA (West Point) and ROTC paths you won't know if you get selected for Aviation until you go into your senior year. By then you're contracted with the Army, at least that's how it was when I went that way. With WOFT you'll be selected before you contract and it'll be guaranteed as long as you finish basic training and get through WOCS. I'm not sure how OCS works, but i'm guessing you'll also be selected before you contract. I'd check the Army's site and read about OCS and ask questions there. You can also visit Air Warriors, lots of aviators and sometimes recruiters from various branches in there who might help. My info and experience are about 20 years out-of-date.
Yes you can. Be sure to talk to your cadre about taking a SIFT test and then a Flight Physical. It is competitive (like many certain branches), and possible if you are a good cadet.
I know pilots who fly Helicopter s & Fixed wing planes. 1 thing they don't do is like answering Questions about the Helicopters, Planes. They have Amazing Vehicles to control, but they don't have conversations about the Helicopters, and Planes. They just seem to think it's a Secret from anyone. 1 question, "How does it feel to be such Control of these Vehicles"? Answer real answer " it's Ok" that's it.. They have no Attitude or Concerns... Their response s are Short...
Perhaps it's because 1) it's an indescribable feeling or maybe 2) for them it has become no different than driving a car. I think it's more of 2, because I remember feeling so much freedom the first time I learned how to drive. Within a week that feeling wore off and now I find it as an annoyance and a chore to get in my car...to go to work.
All the pilots I've talked to love talking about the crazy missions/flights they've been on. Maybe it helps to be in the community. If you get a whole buncha pilots together, they'll talk all day about it.
