100%. The crew spotted us and man, they went low. A guy standing next to me was wearing a “Pork Pie” hat which was blown 100ft into the trees. It was never seen again! 😂
heir crew are dumbasses when it comes to the aircraft. They don't /won't even carry extra oil in the ramp. The crew are stewardesses. They should have dresses on. First sign of trouble they PL and walk away. They only know emergency procedures at a maximum and can't even fly in their own country because of noise. POS
Love your video! This week they’re training around Rotterdam, and they (1 chinook and 1 cougar) did a low fly by , right over my terrace 🙌 I think they know there is an helicopter enthusiast living here 🥹
Always felt there’s something special about the Chinook, it’s an absolute beast and sounds epic as it approaches from a distance- that great, deep, baritone thud always gets me out of my seat to hear it approaching and then pass at a surprisingly fast speed for such a huge lump of machinery it is.😊
Yes, there were great! I was standing next to another photographer as the final Chinook went past - the downwash blew his hat off his head and into the trees, 50m away!
Spectacular!! They were amazing. What a great place to be at the right moment! I was very lucky to have a flight in a RAF Chinook last year.....what incredible aircraft they are! 😊 We weren't quite that low though!! 😂 Having said that, it was a low level trip, and I was on the ramp with the load master crewman, which was insane!
@@Geordiegjs They are indeed! Having been lucky enough to fly in several helicopters, civil and military, you can really feel the immense power these things have as you lift!
10 years ago I live in Greenwich, London. one or sometimes two would fly down the river Thames by my apartment. I love them, the silly sound and big interior. Awesome machines.
I've seen a Chinook do a lower pass at an airshow in 1993. The weather was appalling and most people were in their vehicles. The Chinook came in really low to the left of the carpark and banked 90deg to go over the runway. The rotors were just a few feet from the concrete. Superb skills.
I was working near some bases in the UK during GW-II and there was a lot of flying going on. One day driving home one of these appeared over a hedge and scared the cr@p out of me - surprised there weren't tyre marks on my car roof. I'm sure it gave them a giggle though ;-)
I’m a roofer and when I’m working on any tall buildings that are right on the river, st Thomas hospital for example when the apaches and chinooks fly down the river (nothing this close) the noise and the beat of the props is always crazy to me, I can’t imagine what it was like to be that close haha 😂 cool video mate !
Van mij mogen ze zich hier in de Achterhoek vaker laten zien. Ook de F35 is wat mij betreft welkom om hier vaker over te komen. Ik weet dat er ook weerstand is tegen het laagvliegen, maar er moet hoe dan ook geoefend worden. Ik ben er zeker van dat ik niet de enige ben die dit allemachtig prachtig vindt.
If some percentage of the Netherlands is below sea level, how do they calibrate their attitude gauges? Is it still relative to feet above sea level? I don't think the gauges can do negative readings, but I could be wrong.
Altimeters (when flying at lower altitudes) are calibrated to sea level, by dialling in the “QNH”, which is the locally measured air pressure recalculated to what the value would be at sea level. So sitting on the runway at some Dutch airports, you’ll see a negative altitude. (And if you look out the window at the traffic on the nearby highway, you will most certainly also see a negative attitude! 😊) Some (military) aircraft are equipped with a radar altimeter which will give the altitude over terrain.
Was traveling on Dutch freeway 15 years ago; in the distance a little dot appeared briefly over an overpass, followed by a second dot. 2 seconds later an F104 (?) screamed overhead at roof height + 25 centimeters. Followed by an F16 chasing it - on manouvres. Only planes I had ever seen so low before were SA Air force Buccaneers and Mirages - not on manouvres.
@@mythos5809 There are many cars on a freeway, so you could simply have been oblivious to my presence. Or I wasn't there, also possible. But that is besides the point. Your estimations are off. They don't fly "roof height +25cm. Period.
Are you sure these are Dutch helicopters? Registrations look German to me (D-482 for the first, D-602 for the second Chinook)? Don't Dutch aircraft use PH registrations? Or even PA and PB?
Because that small country is a NATO member it's troops can and will be deployed where NATO needs them for peace keeping or fighting missions. In those cases the Chinooks are usually incorporated with other units to provide troops and material transport and for evacuation of wounded.
They def passed by you to give u a cool vid to upload. EDIT: As far as i know, then an aircraft "tilts" a bit when not needed it's to express friendliness
Cab 3 was definitely for your benefit. Brilliant

They were helicopters bro !!
HAHAHAH, that third chopper! "You want photos of a Chinook? HERE I AM!"
You are 100% right! 😂
no the third chopper was- you guys want to know who has the biggest b#lls, well here's your answer!!!
Ok, I now get it. Thank you Big B@lls 👍
@@wildolan You might be interested to know that the downwash blew one guys hat 100ft into the trees. It was never seen again! 😂😂😂
The (298 SQN) Chinook crews are the best. No hassle, always in for special maneuvers, very professional but also very cool.
Day and night.
100% Agree with that! 👍
Thats the coolest most high definition fly by video ever in the history of you tube! Well done! And as said Cab 3 was just for you!
Cheers Damien, much appreciated! 👍

The chinooks passed by so close I could’ve swore I saw the pilots golden tooth.
😂😂😂

What are you lads on about? It was the tip of the spliff he was rolling.
I hear these Chinook's from time to time. Their maintenance is done here in our little village. Love those heavy sounds ❤
Love your video!

@@Geordiegjs 🙌 certainly 👍
Wow ! You can see them waving to you. Thanks !
Thank you for the comment! Cheers 👍
Those things really are flying buses. amazing.
And those Dutch guys can really throw them around. Fantastic to watch! 👍
Actually bro they are helicopters but good participating
Amazing video! I replayed it a few times, including a few stops to look at the details. Greets from Apeldoorn (The Netherlands)

Reminds me of Friday morning extract after being in the field since Monday afternoon on a training mish. Sounds so good
Second Chinook about to give you a haircut. 💇💇💇
😂😂😂
Great to hear how much the spectators enjoyed this
Nothing like a bit of showing off for the camera. 😎👌
Yep, they spotted us and gave a nice pass 👍
Was a pleasure to loose my hat to the last Chinook! :-)
That was class Mark, the downwash blew it off your head and must have moved it about 50 feet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did he make it on purpose?
Qehgetiru
I hear (and see) these Chinooks pass close by very regularly, when they're flying parallel to the Rhine.
Totally unmistakable 😎

Best flyover
First Chinook let’s go low, 2nd hold my beer 😂😂😂, great to watch, thanks for uploading
Cheers Carl! 😂
That was a perfect video. You nailed that one!!!!🎉🎉
Thank you for your kind words! 👍
Wow, thats awesome aircraft! John P.
Cheers John! 👍
Astoundingly amazing!!!
Thank you 👍
The Chinook is just an engineering marvel.
Yep, for it’s size, it is highly manoeuvrable 👍
Just WOW factor well done,Amazing how they work ...
Thanks Chas! They are very agile aircraft for their size. 👍
AWESOME, MATE!!!
Cheers! 👍
@@Geordiegjs Thanks alot, mate!!!

Absolutely lush!
Cheers! 👍
Gotta love the Dutch
Yep, they never disappoint! 👍
Stunning quality video

Remember seeing such fly past in Kuijk during the last day at the 4daagse in 2010.
Personnel waving from the rear ramp.
0:58 yea really nice clouds lol
Outstanding..
Cheers Gregory! 👍
When these things pass close to you, the air vibrates with the sound of their rotors
Yep, they seem to vibrate your chest cavity 😂
I'm ex British Army. The first time I boarded a Chinnock, the rotor downdraft knocked one of the smaller guys of his feet
Yep, the guy standing next to me was wearing a "Pork Pie" hat and the downdraft blew it 100ft into the trees. Never seen again! 😂

God the Chinook is so badass...
100% 👍
Awesome content
@@champion657 Thank you for taking the time to comment. Cheers! 👍
That just isn't a sound of a helicopter...
That's the sound meaning you don't have to tab back to camp 😂
Now that’s what I call a low pass…. Nice
Cheers! Lucky to catch it. 👍
Nice
Cheers 👍
Spectacular machines
Great Video Geordie, thanks for sharing
Cheers Tony! 👍
I can never unsee the back of a chinook looking like a frogs head
😂😂😂
Stunning
Many thanks! 👍
WOW, that's really low! JohnP.
Yep, made me duck John! 😂
I can imagine how the air must have been throbbing
Chinooks low passes are good for Infantry morale. Don’t forget to wave to the loadmaster!
Godspeed to Dutch Army!
Wouaaaaaaaahhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whole Dutch Air Force in ine frame ;-)
😂 I was thinking "low level aye, they pop over those trees"

Dat is geweldig om te horen en zoals je zegt, onze krijgsmacht moet oefenen om efficiënt te blijven.
great video .......... I am jealous :):)
hey I could read the brand on the tyres as the flew by

If some percentage of the Netherlands is below sea level, how do they calibrate their attitude gauges? Is it still relative to feet above sea level? I don't think the gauges can do negative readings, but I could be wrong.
I think that once you get to these heights, you forget the gauges and fly by instinct!
That's why they're so low.. we're not used to the ground being so high
😂😂😂@@markdejong2309
In low flying, height above the ground is more useful than height above sea level; this is probably several hundred feet above sea level anyway
Altimeters (when flying at lower altitudes) are calibrated to sea level, by dialling in the “QNH”, which is the locally measured air pressure recalculated to what the value would be at sea level. So sitting on the runway at some Dutch airports, you’ll see a negative altitude. (And if you look out the window at the traffic on the nearby highway, you will most certainly also see a negative attitude! 😊)
Some (military) aircraft are equipped with a radar altimeter which will give the altitude over terrain.
What kind of camera did you use to film this?
I have high-end Canon equipment for aviation photography but believe it or not, this video was taken on an standard iPhone 12.
Reminds me of my time in North Ireland when choppers flew low level to avoid any SAM threat.
If you fly low enough and tactically, you have a better chance of evading SAM’s
That last pilot: 👍🏻
Yep, he was class! 👍
Was traveling on Dutch freeway 15 years ago; in the distance a little dot appeared briefly over an overpass, followed by a second dot. 2 seconds later an F104 (?) screamed overhead at roof height + 25 centimeters. Followed by an F16 chasing it - on manouvres. Only planes I had ever seen so low before were SA Air force Buccaneers and Mirages - not on manouvres.
Wow!
Minimum altitude for low flying zones in the Netherlands is 250ft or 75 meters. Our pilots are professionals. I think your estimations are off.
@@Tiger313NL Don't recall your presence there.
@@mythos5809 There are many cars on a freeway, so you could simply have been oblivious to my presence. Or I wasn't there, also possible. But that is besides the point. Your estimations are off. They don't fly "roof height +25cm. Period.
Epic
Are you sure these are Dutch helicopters? Registrations look German to me (D-482 for the first, D-602 for the second Chinook)? Don't Dutch aircraft use PH registrations? Or even PA and PB?
Yes, they definitely Dutch, we had a Dutch SAM crew standing near when I took the video and we chatted.
PH is used for civilian aircrafts. Military aircraft use different registrations. For instance our F-16's use the J-xxx and the F-35's the F-xxx
nice
Thanks 👍
Nice :)
I tried that with a hawk same place :)
Much easier to film helicopters, as you know, hawks are much, quicker! 👍
298 SQN baby!! (Chinooks) The cougar is from 300 SQN
Cheers for the info! 👍

"Why does such a small country needs troop transport helicopters? Can't they just drive?" Traffic jams: "Hold my beer!'.
Because that small country is a NATO member it's troops can and will be deployed where NATO needs them for peace keeping or fighting missions. In those cases the Chinooks are usually incorporated with other units to provide troops and material transport and for evacuation of wounded.
