Near Mishap MH-60S on AKE
by Kevin Black 25 Jul '26

25 Jul '26

I don't know when or exactly what ship this happened on but it got messaged to me. This pushes my buttons on why you don't fly out of the windline with a tail rotor helicopter. Had they been into the windline they could have picked up more because their tail rotor wouldn't be sucking up all that horsepower trying to keep it aligned wrong and both pilots could see what was going on, they could have moved forward into more ground effect and merely set the load down and burned off fuel for a later attempt or had it re-configured. I hope some Admiral will finally tell the HSC community to knock it off and fly the helicopter as it is supposed to be. We came close to a really serious mishap.

If you have that lottery jackpot burning a hole in your bank account.. here's a pretty cool boat though I think it might be a bit overpriced. It's on Facebook marketplace and various other places around the internet with prices declining through the years. https://laststandonzombieisland.com/2023/01/05/historic-wwii-pt-boat-for-sa…
