That shot at 1:45 is one of the coolest shots I've ever seen in military aviation photography. Kudos.

[@Verticalmagmedia]

Ah, we appreciate that!

[@barrettschroeder9445]

Agreed

[@TommyKitchens-id6bx]

Have no fear, "USAF Combat Search and Rescue" is here!!

[@nightgoon_0_0]

worked with these dudes overseas.. we secured the LZ for them, and I have to say... that was some of the craziest flying I've seen a helicopter do into a LZ

[@skywarp1]

I want to see that and the MH-60M fly together in a simulated joint mission

[@Verticalmagmedia]

That would definitely be interesting.

I’m glad to see that the tactics are being assessed and adjusted ahead of losing people.

[@dallasyap3064]

Glad to see them get an upgraded variant. Since they're gonna encounter more sophisticated, organized and advanced threats in the future, they should have armed the helicopters with some missiles and a gun perhaps to enable greater fire support. And since it flies during nighttime as well and at low altitude just like the 160th SOAR, it should paint its helos black like the MH-60, MH-47 and MH-6 flown by the Nightstalkers.

Would like to see the Pave Lows put back into service since the 53K is out now.

[@Verticalmagmedia]

Pretty big footprint though!

[@everythingman987]

Too big. Unnecessarily big and a waste of payload capacity.

[@NateReimers]

This was sick! Well done.
