SH-60 gone with the wind...

Guess nobody onboard ever heard of heavy weather tie downs. Or any tie downs for that matter. Stupid!

beauty!

Reminds me Lynard Skynard's song: Tuesday's gone with wind!

Lol. What were they waiting for? Father X-mas to help them out??

Stupid loss of aircrft,it is realy a shame

did it go into water at the end???

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind....

A lot of mistakes from the crew of the ship...I think!

The moral of the story is; It you don't lash it down, the weather will smash it down.

ouch thats sad

No there is someone in there. I'm sure they do the same as us. We have a guy in the right seat for the aircraft brakes when we are traversing the aircraft.

it looks like something went wrong when they were trying to straighten the helo to tow it into the barn. Since its night and the camera is mounted, you can't see how much the ship is rolling.

Back in the beginning.

It looks like they have one onboard. You can see the tracks in the deck. But the beartrap loks like it is behind the helo. Freedeck landing maybe that went bad eventually?

I hate to say it but that was humorous. Isnt that old though? like Saganuay said, I remember seeing a newer vid with a hawk trying to get its "pole" if you will right into the clamp.

Thats why we use a device in the Canadian Navy called a bear trap. It allows our helos to be held down by a cable on deck and be moved around the flight deck and into the hanger.

Deck crew did a good job in trying to push it back. LOL
