- Our friends at Newsweek asked me to take a look at their latest trailer for their video in which they embedded with the Alaska Army National Guard. Check out the full video: • Embedding with the Ala...

The interior shot is of a Chinook. Chinooks have the mirror to look back into the passenger compartment while Blackhawks do not. Chinooks also have the larger cheek windows.
Also, the PCL quadrant on the -60 is center front of the overhead panel
Only Mover could turn a 20 second video into a 6 minute debrief.
Gonky could turn it into 12 with Internet service disruptions
Dude!
It’s the military in him. lol
Really cold weather ops is not just tough on the people - it's tough on the machines. Much respect to the operators and MX that make this happen.
Yeah! I was thinking, nah, we humans of the North know how to layer up! But our machines do NOT. No power - big problems. I've seen tires on trucks freeze flattened! You're correct - kudos to those that keep the machines running in the cold!
I did roughly 8 weeks in the North Sea with snow and ice on an aircraft carrier. I can tell you we were only allowed up on deck for launch and recovery and very short fixes. It was around 30 below and the wind chill above everything. 🥶
That's called crab fishing (in Alaska.) 😉
@@Beth-ie and that’s no joke, the only difference is we had aircraft sliding like crab pots. We were always chaining them down and sometimes we would only travel in pairs to make sure each went where we meant to go.
That sounds nuts but I guess that needed to be done. If things break out between Russia and nato we'll be operating in that weather so I guess we need to practice in.
Hope all your guys made it out of there safely...
@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 That was almost 30 years ago and everyone came home we were banged up and had spent 6 more months operating in and around the Straits of Hormuz.
That UH-60L doing the snow landings is 98-26818. It was my bird (well, my name was on the side of it) - former crew chief AK Army Guard. I got out and went Air Guard when Col Edwards was a 1LT ;)

Got the visit Alaska as a (British) kid and visit the strike eagle squadron through a family friend 😎 would love to go back, best bit of the USA imo
I did SERE Arctic Survival at Eielson AFB in negative 50 degrees. So cold it burns.
sarah palin never said "she can see it from her home", that... it was tina fey on SNL, and from there people attributed it to palin
I know...
Woosh...
Someone has no sense of humour!
Get to see raptors fly almost everyday from my house, and baseball fields
Specifically those raptors, I live just north of JBER
For all its stark and untouched beauty (and ability to inspire Bob Ross), I too don't go below 50-60. BTW, go to Hawaii in the winter, you'll wonder what humanity was thinking when they left the tropics.
Would be cool to see some type of collab with HeavyD and possibly get some seat time in the blackhawk
Author Dr. Will Dabbs has written about his time serving in the Army, flying helicopters and Winter training in Alaska. Looking forward to the new episode of Unconventional.
Alaska bush pilot! You'll get all the scenery you could ask for. :p
Mover, would you go up to Alaska to fly the Raptor or does the cold keep you on the Louisiana ground?
Alaskan Viper, Mover??? Not unless the cockpit, barracks, hangers, and walkways were heated. 😉
Mover would only go if it was a summertime DET
Those "snow cats" are fun. drove that in the army guard. 19d
The 25th Marines, a reserve unit regularly trains in cold weather, it wasn't fun....ask me how I know 😉
Heavy D do have one of those track things, idk if its exactly the same. But it looks like it. Seen it an alot of his other vehicles on his youtube chanel.
Really thick air, all types of flying should be fun no? 😂
2:00, Looks like the Raptor is looking for a kill shot on a Balloon.
Anyone remember that TV mini series about the Alaska NG trying to hold off a Russian incursion into Alaska? It has David Saul as the lead?
Never heard of it but it sounds pretty interesting. I'm going to look it up now.
"Innit that cool?" Yes, Mover. It's Alaska.
That’s not Louisiana cold, That’s Louisiana warm
Have you watched the Blue Angels trailer. Would love to get your reaction to it.
They reacted to that one on a recent Mover & Gonky show.
Mover? How do you keep looking _younger?!_ Is it those G-forces you took?
WAIT A MINUTE - That's an amazing recruitment tool for the Navy or Air Force! _Fighter pilots age slower. Just look at Mover!_ You'll have more badass fly GALS signing up tomorrow. Wish I knew your "trick" before I aged out...😉. Love you fly boys & girls! 🛫
Algorithmic engagement comment.
Nice haircut 👍
Ch-47 👍
Air Force....... Go Army
We can deal with weather
Chinook in the kola peninsula
Mover, clean shaven, I wonder why. Big interview.....
Nope. Just had job stuff.
@@CWLemoineAirline stuff???
Hey that's today
Review/ Ruin Indian movie "Fighter" scenes
available on OTT now
yes- the movie is named literally "Fighter"
Mover, can you please react to and ruin the Indian Air Force movies, Operation Valentine (2024) & Fighter (2024).
Oh Mover, you always talk about how you hate the cold, it's snuggling weather.
This video gave me an idea for what would be another great video. C W embedded in the 10th Mountain Division

Yes. Russia sold us Alaska... back when we did not have this odd, arbitrary dislike of Russia... or a certain group of people, in and influencial on Govs.
Cold weather. Mmmm, I like layers (of clothing).
You would have been a horrible recruiter 😂🤣🤷🏻♂️🇺🇸🫡
