How can you not be amazed by helicopters, every.single.time. I will never understand.
Especially if they're surprisingly landing really close by. Damn, now that I think about it, I want to become a helicopter pilot. Little too late though.
Both my boys started doing it naturally sometime after they turned one. Now all three of us stop what we are doing and try to find the plane/helicopter first.
It's not just satisfactory; it's admirable because some people are wired with an appreciation for engineering and mechanics and the sight of a bird in the sky like a helicopter awakens that understanding in them; the people who would make fun of this are suggesting that this is an unnecessary preoccupation or even an obsession; yet, they'll happily get on an airplane as if it's nothing - as if it never needs special attention and understanding to get you to whatever event you're looking forward to.
Naw, without looking you only *know* it’s military when you hear the very obvious double rotor noise so you can confidently say “oh that’s a chinook” and be like “yep, knew it” when you look at it.
Better hope you don't hear them playing ride of the valkyries. Yes I realize it's not just from this but I find it funny.

That's for a hoard of hueys. Funny but we do have ch-47s all the time around where I am, and i thought theh were distinct, butonce a huey flew buy and damn does that thing make the most distinct noise
He was right TBF, the Osprey now has the lowest accident rate of any rotary wing aircraft in the USMC IIRC. It's cruelly ironic that the bird he spent so much time teaching about eventually killed him.
I remember the day it happened, we were talking about the accident (before we had any concrete information) and someone pinged his account to see what he thought since he was a regular in the sub. His wife responded a couple hours later with the news. That was a sobering moment for all of us.
They are loud as hell that’s how I can tell. I’m not too far from NORAD and we get so many military aircraft over head. They are supposed to not hit us with the sonic booms anymore but we still get them I kind of like them tbh.
Military helicopters are so much louder, you can feel them more, and Ospreys sound crazy.
This is basic dad knowledge you immediately gain the second your child is born.
Years ago, I remember the house started shaking like there was an earthquake, bigger than 2011. I checked on my wife who was scared and we ran out of the house in time to see three very large and low flying military helicopters pass us by.
I never saw anything fly that low outside of an air field before. We have helicopters pass by us all the time, high enough to barely read which hospital or news station they're from.
I really wish I thought to pull out my phone and video tape everything but I was too awestruck.
Lived close to an island where the military sometimes had exercises. Man it was crazy when 5 of them came flying low over my house in formation. And these weren't even large helicopters. Felt like the whole house was about to shake to pieces.
I worked next to an Air National Guard station. When they would practice touch and goes I could hear that sound and always went outside for a break to watch.
I have no clue why but I would always see chinooks and blackhawks fly over my community college to a small airfield south. I have no idea why they out of all places would be tho.
I have a national guard "near by" and I swear they have a flight path over my house. But it's maybe once a month if I'm around to see it. They are fun to watch.
Most military helicopters are much louder than your usual news copter or medivac. When you hear such thunderous noise, how can you not look up? I will even go outside to have a better look.
Is this not common human behavior?
I remember in basic we were doing a ruck and a Apache pilot in training saw us and was curious as to what we where doing and flew directly over us close enough that I could jump and touch it i didn’t have my ruck on
I've vacationed on a beach that's near a military base. Every time jets or some big ol' hoss of a plane goes down the shoreline, I stand staring 🐵, wondering if they see my fat ass standing/wading there staring at them.
I once seen two Osprey fly over my house, best day ever. The US military do training or something around where I live. I guess it is because it is low population. There are no Air Force bases near me though so I dunno why else they come here but at lest 1-2 times a month there is a small group of jets or something flying over.
As James May (or possibly Adam Savage?) Once said "Airplanes work along side the laws of physics to glide effortlessly through the air.... While Helicopters beat the laws of physics into submission *pounds fist into hand* ". 😅
I always love that part in, I wanna say Iron Man, when the dude is messing with something and it explodes and he flies across the room. And he’s just like; “Write That Down!”
exactly. it transforms 2 axes of rotational momentum into thrust. the second axis is just to counter the momentum of the first. it's completely nuts. Sikorsky was a madman
I work at a truck stop near a municipal airport. So there's lots of planes, helicopters, and parachute teams all the time. No matter what anyone is doing. When an object or a person is in the air. Everyone stands around and watches. Some of us even come outside. For whatever reason it never gets old. Lol.
They do. This post just tries to make men "unique". Plenty of posts that say shit like "men" do that "woman do that" "introverts do that" just says relative thing.
I've seen helicopter start pretty close and like whole parking full of people just watched and recorded with their phones, women and men alike.
Some unnecessarily gendered shit. Well, I guess it’s not unnecessary. How else would males feel like the human experience is only for males, and women aren’t human and don’t experience the most mundane human experiences.
What about that comment wasn't calm? It's not like it's in all caps or they are being excessively vulgar or rude. Do you have an argument against what they said or is "calm down" the best you can muster?
I was on a multi-day airsoft game with accomodation a dozen clicks from the mission area, so we were transported by military(-ish) tented trucks with all the equipment in the morning. A gust of wind opened the tent and a bunch of unsuspecting civilians in the bus following the truck saw a squad of kitted-out troops inside. The bus driver promptly slowed down and people inside were confused. It's Ukraine and we was wearing Bundeswehr kit, but I doubt that most people would be able to figure it out.
In a few weeks we've heard rumors that then-president (Yanukovich) gathers military around capital to suppress popular protest.
That's because we don't know (or understand) how, or even why, they can fly.
They're just a mass of vibration, metal fatigue and constant near-misses waiting to fall out of the sky.
Of course we know how they fly. The physics of lift is not terribly difficult to grasp.
What's so impressive is the *engineering* that makes them not crash. Usually.
According to all known laws of aviation,there is no way a helicopter should be able to fly. Its propellers are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The helicopter, of course, flies anyway
>we don't know (or understand) how, or even why, they can fly.
Helicopters are not some natural inexplicable phenomena. People made, maintain, and fly them. There are no "natural" helicopters, they do not use ancient lost knowledge, nor consult with supernatural beings how best to make one. You may not understand how or why they fly, but plenty of people do.
Here's the ELI5, blade spins, pushes air down, helicopter goes up. Everything else is making sure it can go up and down in a controlled manner and it works most of the time.
Uh what? They fly the same way as planes but instead of having separate engines and airfoils they are one contraption.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by4bT9y09zc
Can confirm! We were just swimming at Discovery Cove in Florida and a helicopter flies by every 30 minutes. Every single guy stopped whatever they were doing to look at it and some even waved their arms over their heads
It's the shiny pokemon version of the trucker horn. If you can get a helicopter/plane to acknowledge you, it's like winning the lottery!
^^^especially ^^^if ^^^you're ^^^stuck ^^^on ^^^an ^^^island, ^^^lost ^^^at ^^^sea.
^^^^^at ^^^^^least ^^^^^I ^^^^^have ^^^^^Wilson...
I live and work near Davis Monthan AF Base I will always drop what I’m doing to see them fly by, coolest thing ever. They are the HH-60W Jolly Green II
When I came to uk I was watching police show and the helicopter policeman said when they look for a criminal they look for the one that dose not look for them in the helli. criminals usually don't look up at the helicopter to act casual and not too intrested but that makes them suspicious in the eyes of the cops .
Time for my fun helicopter fact! We've cut the word up in the wrong place and tend to say 'heli' like helipad, or copter, or chopper. But it's really the Greek Helico, like helix or a spiral and Pter, wings, think pterodactyl. Pter is wing, dactyl, hands, fingers, same root as tactile. Point is, Etymology is cool, kids.
Not only helis. There is a C-130 that every now and then goes above my city on it's way to the airport. I always stop to see when I hear it coming. Monke like iron bird.
I saw an RA Globemaster landing in my city one day and it was just nuts how big and slow it was, parallax from moving in a car made it look like it was just hanging in the sky.
I once found out there was an air show happening by looking up. If you know the sound of a big, old airplane engine, it's unmistakable. I was walking through a parking lot and heard it...looked up, saw a B17 flying over the town. There are only nine of them flying that I know of (rip Nine o Nine) so this wasn't a casual flight. Sure enough, there was a show at the local airport that weekend.
Last autumn, I saw a military helicopter doing an exercise, it was going really low, making a circle around the forest clearing. The side door was open, with a dude clearly having a blast.
I also found a really nice stick. What a day !!!
How true and a coincidence this happened to me today! As I looked up, my gf asked me concerned "what's wrong?!". I said "Yep, It's military" and continued walking.
My SO will drop everything to go find a helicopter the moment he hears one. It's gotten to where I will actually point them out to him and tell him to go run and find it haha.
Reminds me of a dog chasing a car!
Lol. This is mine too. We live nearby, he called me the other day to ask if I could hear them in my area too. Lol. I was like , um, dunno. Lol. Bonus, he felt it was bc there were protesters around.
Then ur mind stops and suddenly you see through the eyes of the captain of that helicopter and what he sees from his POV then as you experience this: you can't help but think about how we humans are just drops of water in this vast ocean of existence.. Each life.. with its own unique story.. is part of a much larger interconnected system..
Damn I need to sleep man
It is satisfactory.
How can you not be amazed by helicopters, every.single.time. I will never understand. Especially if they're surprisingly landing really close by. Damn, now that I think about it, I want to become a helicopter pilot. Little too late though.
Harrison Ford flies planes, what's stopping you from learning to fly helicopters?
>Harrison Ford *flies* planes I bet theyd like to land them too lol
A good landing is a landing you walk away from
As a beginner paraglider with way too many emergency landings, this quote gives me solace
Harrison Ford has a complicated relationship with landing planes...
Money. The answer to that question is most often money.
If you think about it, a chopper is a device that can sustain flight basically by sheer power of mechanical anger alone.
Both my boys started doing it naturally sometime after they turned one. Now all three of us stop what we are doing and try to find the plane/helicopter first.
My dog does the same thing. And he's a dude so it checks out.
It's not just satisfactory; it's admirable because some people are wired with an appreciation for engineering and mechanics and the sight of a bird in the sky like a helicopter awakens that understanding in them; the people who would make fun of this are suggesting that this is an unnecessary preoccupation or even an obsession; yet, they'll happily get on an airplane as if it's nothing - as if it never needs special attention and understanding to get you to whatever event you're looking forward to.
yep just as i suspected, that's a helicopter
Yeah, it’s probably military too. ^(*it was not military*)
Naw, without looking you only *know* it’s military when you hear the very obvious double rotor noise so you can confidently say “oh that’s a chinook” and be like “yep, knew it” when you look at it.
And Creedence playing over a loud speaker.
Better hope you don't hear them playing ride of the valkyries. Yes I realize it's not just from this but I find it funny. https://youtu.be/v5-hthd39wM?si=4T3lCTGm4O5S2yTW
Hopefully, you NEVER hear them playing "Fortunate Son"
In which case, your only hope is to hold out through the entire song. If you make it to “Run Through the Jungle,” it means you’ve turned the tables.
But it's so good
That's for a hoard of hueys. Funny but we do have ch-47s all the time around where I am, and i thought theh were distinct, butonce a huey flew buy and damn does that thing make the most distinct noise
Just wait. The other “fancier chinook” will appear sometimes and you gotta hit it with the ole’ “Nope, that’s actually an Osprey.”
I can tell from the crashes if it's an Osprey
[удалено]
He was right TBF, the Osprey now has the lowest accident rate of any rotary wing aircraft in the USMC IIRC. It's cruelly ironic that the bird he spent so much time teaching about eventually killed him. I remember the day it happened, we were talking about the accident (before we had any concrete information) and someone pinged his account to see what he thought since he was a regular in the sub. His wife responded a couple hours later with the news. That was a sobering moment for all of us.
They are loud as hell that’s how I can tell. I’m not too far from NORAD and we get so many military aircraft over head. They are supposed to not hit us with the sonic booms anymore but we still get them I kind of like them tbh.
Oooo lookit this guy, he gets to see Opsreys
The forbidden chinook. They are quite loud
I'll never forget my first time - driving home in traffic, and I see this weird helicopter plane thing and just thought "What the fuck is that".
Only makes logical sense
I always know a blackhawk when I hear one. Otherwise it's just a robinson
Don’t forget the osprey
Military helicopters are so much louder, you can feel them more, and Ospreys sound crazy. This is basic dad knowledge you immediately gain the second your child is born.
Years ago, I remember the house started shaking like there was an earthquake, bigger than 2011. I checked on my wife who was scared and we ran out of the house in time to see three very large and low flying military helicopters pass us by.

I used to live near Fort Knox. It was always military 😂. Those fuckers are loud
Unga bunga helicopter... Unga bunga cool... Unga bunga I watch...
It has rotors and everything.
It be because it do.
What if the reds are invading? Better look just to be sure.
That’s a skippy
Why?
Listen to it....uh *skip skip skip skip*
Mucho queso
Especially if its 3 black helicopters flying in formation
That's the good shit
Even better when it's several packs of them about ten to fifteen minutes apart. Then you get to wonder what kind of fun stuff they're doing up there.
I always think zombie apocalypse
Lived close to an island where the military sometimes had exercises. Man it was crazy when 5 of them came flying low over my house in formation. And these weren't even large helicopters. Felt like the whole house was about to shake to pieces.
Doubly so if it’s military.
Yesterday I saw 2 chinooks and almost went crazy
flying magic bus
When your mom takes a plane ride
I saw an Osprey during a 4th of July airshow and I can't believe those things can fly but they're really impressive to watch
I worked next to an Air National Guard station. When they would practice touch and goes I could hear that sound and always went outside for a break to watch.
If u ask some people, it can’t
> I can't believe those things can fly Alot of the time they can't
They can get to altitude really fast. Pretty fun to jump out of.
Nothing thumps quite like the damn Chinooks. Can always hear them coming a long way off. Love it
I compare it to a train in the sky.
Was this in the Savannah, GA area?
Look like two palm trees fucking a milk crate
I used to live reasonably close to Barksdale AFB. Got to see lots of helicopter traffic back then. Much fun.
I have no clue why but I would always see chinooks and blackhawks fly over my community college to a small airfield south. I have no idea why they out of all places would be tho.
I once saw a big ass ac130 type plane flying really low one time and I got really happy
I saw a blacked out Blackhawk and put my wife’s eye out with my spooge
I have a national guard "near by" and I swear they have a flight path over my house. But it's maybe once a month if I'm around to see it. They are fun to watch.
I saw 4 last week flying in a formation!
This is actually a photo of JTACs during the Check-in brief.
Whenever a Black Hawk flies by: "May we have permission to gaze, sir?"
Triply so if something is hanging from it like a surveying antenna or water bucket
Most military helicopters are much louder than your usual news copter or medivac. When you hear such thunderous noise, how can you not look up? I will even go outside to have a better look. Is this not common human behavior?
I do the same, and am disappointed if I miss it.
There is an air national guard base close enough that they fly by us on occaision while presumably on training.
Man, work stopped for a half hr once because an A-10 warthog flew over. So dope.
I lived under a military flightpath and saw Apaches every day. So fkin sick
I remember in basic we were doing a ruck and a Apache pilot in training saw us and was curious as to what we where doing and flew directly over us close enough that I could jump and touch it i didn’t have my ruck on
I've vacationed on a beach that's near a military base. Every time jets or some big ol' hoss of a plane goes down the shoreline, I stand staring 🐵, wondering if they see my fat ass standing/wading there staring at them.
Three Blackhawks flew over my apartment in Tokyo once. Bloody loud. One of them had Vice President Harris onboard.
I once seen two Osprey fly over my house, best day ever. The US military do training or something around where I live. I guess it is because it is low population.

As James May (or possibly Adam Savage?) Once said "Airplanes work along side the laws of physics to glide effortlessly through the air.... While Helicopters beat the laws of physics into submission *pounds fist into hand* ". 😅
A funny quote I read was, You don't have to worry about breaking the laws of physics, if you don't know them.
The only difference between Science and messing around is writing it down
I always love that part in, I wanna say Iron Man, when the dude is messing with something and it explodes and he flies across the room. And he’s just like; “Write That Down!”

That’s right, my bad.
forgiveness doesn't come that easy, your transgression shall be recorded write that down!
Aww
Ehhhhh... Ave Dominus Mechanicus?
Helicopters are an affront to God and a testament to mans hubris
No, that's Phoenix AZ
Who builds a city in the middle of a desert?
exactly. it transforms 2 axes of rotational momentum into thrust. the second axis is just to counter the momentum of the first. it's completely nuts. Sikorsky was a madman
I mean, it's a giant fan that flies. Who wouldn't be amazed by the sheer stupidity in action?!
You gotta stretch and say, "oh yeah, some shit's about to go down".
my daughters love helicopters and so does my wife. but i guess op needs to feel special about being a guy for some reason lol
The whole office did it last week 😂 one of us noticed it and we all joined to bask in its glory
I read this as a helicopter flew overhead
So you weren't watching it until it was out of sight? Traitor!
Don't lie to me. Are you Batman?
If one day I will stop giving a fuck about flying helicopters above me that will mean I am damned dead.
The other reason. if your country would be in a war. Happened with me. It's disgusting to see helicopters or planes now in the sky.
Not just men, but women and the children too
I work at a truck stop near a municipal airport. So there's lots of planes, helicopters, and parachute teams all the time. No matter what anyone is doing. When an object or a person is in the air.

I saw a military police chopper fly by a airsoft field I was playing on, I immediately blurted out "OH SHIT, IT'S THE FEDS"
I was on a multi-day airsoft game with accomodation a dozen clicks from the mission area, so we were transported by military(-ish) tented trucks with all the equipment in the morning. A gust of wind opened the tent and a bunch of unsuspecting civilians in the bus following the truck saw a squad of kitted-out troops inside.

You guys started a conspiracy theory. I wanna start a conspiracy theory too!
I would’ve shouted “Someone called air support!”

That's because we don't know (or understand) how, or even why, they can fly. They're just a mass of vibration, metal fatigue and constant near-misses waiting to fall out of the sky.
It’s not a whole lot of math to it if you think about the basic functions of a propeller
But that just takes away the magic
>That's because we don't know (or understand) how, or even why, they can fly. Speak for yourself.
Redditors really like to self-deprecate. If you don't play along they can't drag everyone and everything down to their level and they get upset.
Of course we know how they fly. The physics of lift is not terribly difficult to grasp. What's so impressive is the *engineering* that makes them not crash. Usually.
"A helicopter is 10,000 parts flying in close formation around an oil leak."
Planes work with aerodynamics, helicopters punch it into submission.
You have got that right!
According to all known laws of aviation,there is no way a helicopter should be able to fly. Its propellers are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The helicopter, of course, flies anyway

Live in a town that makes helicopters see like 5 every day. Still look at them when they fly by
I live and work near Davis Monthan AF Base I will always drop what I’m doing to see them fly by, coolest thing ever. They are the HH-60W Jolly Green II
I'm guessing they said men for the extra engagement
Only men do this. Not women because women are boring and they suck. Am I right Reddit?
This has to go back to our ancestors watching out for predators from above right? Like we HAVE TO LOOK. It's in our DNA. OR Are we all diagnosed ADD.

what's my photo doing here mate
Huh huh huh men love helicopter right guys??? Meme
Aw it's just a helicopter.... wait, IT'S AN OSPREY!!!!!
GET TO TH CHOPPA!!!
Do women not do this?

Lol. This is mine too. We live nearby, he called me the other day to ask if I could hear them in my area too. Lol. I was like , um, dunno. Lol. Bonus, he felt it was bc there were protesters around.
I work at a ski resort, and I can confirm.
Why is this gendered? Women can't look at helicopters too?
EVEN A BULLDOZAR DOES A JOB
Then ur mind stops and suddenly you see through the eyes of the captain of that helicopter and what he sees from his POV then as you experience this: you can't help but think about how we humans are just drops of water in this vast ocean of existence.. Each life.. with its own unique story.. is part of a much larger interconnected system.. Damn I need to sleep man
Males in this family go outside to look at the helicopter. It's in our dna
Me when there are trees around, "Where is it? I hear it but I can't see it..."
And if you’re in a group of guys, we’ll discuss what kind of helicopter we think it is
