5am EST youtube discovery!

[Sasha]

Alright, so we all know that sometimes I crash a helo while flying around (mostly due to keyboard flying, soon to be fixed with my incoming stick) and I found this rather interesting youtube video while browsing many helo vids...

A russian pilot at an airshow decides to take his mi-8 and perform an "engine-out" emergency landing in a body of water, to which the mi-8 is quite capable of doing. I've seen it done twice while in Georgia. However, this pilot lost his stick's adapter and had to resort to his keyboard. The video demonstrates what happens when you use a keyboard.

Your' friendly helo crasher,
Sasha

p.s. -Not all Russians are bad pilots, in fact, it's quite hard to find a bad pilot there. It's a vigorous training period and you can only get a license if you demonstrate you can quickly perform very advanced maneuvers.

lol. I seen this vid before - those engine out training takeoffs on water are challenging to say the least.

G3K, I expect to see you able to do this when i'm able to play DayZ again.

Been playing a lot of WoW since the new Xpac hit, it's actually really fun. Probably gonna start playing again after I get all my PvP gear and a decent rating. ^^

I should lock this thread before the fail levels reach epic proportions.
