I remember one of the first times I caught a ride in a blackhawk. I didn't know much about flying. We were training at Ft. Carson on a hot summer day and loaded on the chopper. Pilot says someone has to get off...we're too heavy to get off the ground. Still sitting there a minute later he says someone else is going to have to get off. By then I'm like "WTF?!, I'm walking", and get the heck off that thing!

yea when it gets hot we are pretty limited on the amount of power we have especially here in Afghanistan and and it was even worse while we were in Iraq cause it gets a little hotter there lol but when its cold out we fly it like we stole it

How about those stealth blackhawks use by seal team 6. Those things are sick looking!!!

that aircraft was actually in a testing phase back in 2003 and they scratched it in 2007 or so cause it wasn't producing any positive results it was called the commanche its had the body like a B-52 stealth bomber and was suppose to have the load out of an apache lol idk it was weird but i''ve seen some pretty sick pics of the seal team 6 aircraft looked at and it was a little different from the commanche
