You know there's footage of Humvees when the chutes don't open. Show those or seek them out yourself. And show one of the old methods, LAPES, or Low Altitude Parachute Ejection System. I remember seeing footage of it used at Khe Sanh, when the cargo haulers would be mortared if they landed. So, they didn't. Good stuff here. thanks.
I’ve been on helo’s that have carried under slung loads but I’ve never ever seen a helo with an under slung load doing an flight refuel as well. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that that rather than doing it to see if it was feasible but more to do with necessity, anyhoo please if you can please pass on my amazement and thanks for the video.
my daughter is 3 years old, she just watched this video and she told me : when she grows up she learns to build airplanes, i was surprised when she said that, but i'm happy anyway. it sees and knows how to turn on the subtitles with the CC symbol on the phone. I don't understand what it means to say it like that. anyway I'm glad and happy about it
The LAVGs were originally designed and built by General Motors Canada in London, Ontario, Canada. When General Motors had their big sell off the LAV plant was bought by General Dynamics, the LAVs are still built in London, Ontario and because General Dynamics is an American company all foreign sales have to go through the United States Congress with agreement by the Canadian government.
I have a serious question which came to mind when they dropped the Humvees. Why are the paratroopers sitting at the side and wait for their jump to happen after their vehicles have been dropped. Shouldn't they at least sit on their Humvees and get dropped joint ? They could still have their parachutes ready either for emergency or late drop off the Humvee to get as close as possible to their Humvee......
