Holy Shit!

Flying a helo (IMHO) takes some special talent.  Lots of moving parts.  Flying in all dimensions.  It is really fun but you have to pay attention 100% of the time.  Trust me on that.  I've got about 4000 hours of helicopter pilot time.  Flying in formation requires paying special attention.  The tendency is to get too close.  Not really sure why.  But once you figure it out and get the sight picture, the lightbulb pops on and it's not bad.  And doing inflight refueling is really just formation flying on a big tanker.  Once again, get the sight picture and you can slide right in and get a drink.  At night it gets a bit sporty but if you're on goggles, well then no problem.  And carrying around a big load underneath is not a big deal after you figure out how to adjust speed and attitude to ensure the load is stable and in control.  But this?  I've not seen this.  Inflight refueling two big MH-53Es carrying double loads!!  What comes to mind is...Holy Shit!
