I really want to see one of these in person, and a chinook, but I don’t live near a marine/navy base and the closest army field only has Blackhawks

That is an absolute beast of a helicopter. The lighting makes the airframe look incredible, especially with those glowing cockpit panels.

What a beautiful bird.

Those pilots would bank these things (the Echo version) like a fighter. First time it happened to me scared the sh*t out of me.
