WEBVTT 00:01.440 --> 00:03.662 Uh , if it's not rigged properly , it's 00:03.662 --> 00:05.829 gonna fall out of the sky . You've got 00:05.829 --> 00:07.940 lots of equipment at that point and , 00:07.940 --> 00:10.162 uh , it could damage the helicopter for 00:10.162 --> 00:09.600 sure . It's gonna damage that load . 00:10.029 --> 00:12.251 But I'd say that's probably the biggest 00:12.251 --> 00:14.473 concern , especially if it's not rigged 00:14.473 --> 00:16.307 properly and we've got personnel 00:16.307 --> 00:18.362 underneath it . Um , aside from that 00:18.362 --> 00:20.585 just coming up , coming over the top of 00:20.585 --> 00:22.751 those guns with personnel on top , the 00:22.751 --> 00:24.918 crew chiefs in the back , we've got to 00:24.918 --> 00:27.251 make sure we're on top of our calls and , 00:27.251 --> 00:29.307 uh , make sure that the p pilots are 00:29.307 --> 00:28.510 doing everything that we're telling 00:28.520 --> 00:30.631 them to do . So we don't accidentally 00:30.631 --> 00:32.742 bump somebody that's underneath us or 00:32.742 --> 00:34.909 put a barrel of a gun under the bottom 00:34.909 --> 00:37.020 side of our helicopter . Those are my 00:37.020 --> 00:39.689 biggest concerns because there's a lot 00:39.700 --> 00:41.589 that goes on internal . You don't 00:41.589 --> 00:43.756 really see that . You just see us kind 00:43.756 --> 00:45.867 of like moving around in the , in the 00:45.867 --> 00:48.089 cabin , just making calls , making sure 00:48.089 --> 00:50.144 we're able to keep everybody safe on 00:50.144 --> 00:53.930 the ground . Some of it is patience . 00:53.939 --> 00:56.650 Um , because the whole time again , the 00:56.659 --> 00:58.826 pilots , they can't see what , where , 00:58.826 --> 01:00.992 where that gun is . So they're relying 01:00.992 --> 01:02.826 on us to make the calls and then 01:02.826 --> 01:04.937 they're just making the inputs on the 01:04.937 --> 01:07.629 helicopter . Um , and sometimes that 01:07.639 --> 01:09.861 gun , like yesterday , whenever we were 01:09.861 --> 01:11.972 trying to get it oriented to the east 01:11.972 --> 01:14.195 out towards Tater Hill , as soon as you 01:14.195 --> 01:16.361 get it lined up . Perfect . They would 01:16.361 --> 01:16.050 just wanna spin on you . But you're 01:16.059 --> 01:18.170 already , you're already committed to 01:18.170 --> 01:20.337 that point . We're setting it down and 01:20.337 --> 01:22.281 it's on the ground as long as it's 01:22.281 --> 01:24.392 close , those guys out in the field , 01:24.392 --> 01:24.050 they don't have to work too hard to 01:24.059 --> 01:26.170 position it exactly where they want . 01:26.170 --> 01:28.392 But , uh , you've got rotor wash coming 01:28.392 --> 01:30.448 down , that guns want to spin on you 01:30.448 --> 01:32.503 and you've got all kind of different 01:32.503 --> 01:34.670 inputs , everything's going on . And , 01:34.670 --> 01:34.595 uh , but I mean , other than that , it , 01:34.605 --> 01:37.444 it's fairly easy ish , I'll say , to 01:37.455 --> 01:39.399 get it on your target in the right 01:39.399 --> 01:41.566 direction , but sometimes they'll just 01:41.566 --> 01:43.733 spin as soon as you set it down and if 01:43.733 --> 01:46.025 it's close , it's close . So it's not 01:46.035 --> 01:48.035 just aviation doing it that I think 01:48.035 --> 01:50.257 that's the best part about it because , 01:50.257 --> 01:53.040 um , just having everybody that , like 01:53.050 --> 01:55.217 with the 206 , they've never hooked up 01:55.217 --> 01:57.439 with us . We've never flown with them . 01:57.439 --> 01:57.129 That's my favorite part about the 01:57.139 --> 01:59.195 training . It's like a , it's a real 01:59.195 --> 02:01.195 life mission for us . We're getting 02:01.195 --> 02:03.250 called up . Hey , we need these guns 02:03.250 --> 02:05.699 flown out here to this area . Um , just 02:05.709 --> 02:08.139 being able to do real life missions and 02:08.149 --> 02:10.149 get training from both sides of the 02:10.149 --> 02:12.316 house . Everybody's getting trained up 02:12.316 --> 02:11.880 good .
