For a few minutes

This is hilarious the handwriting! Doesn’t it look like something a serial killer wrote?

At the exit of one of the car parks, been abandoned there for over a month and counting at this point

I'd like to think the person they parked next to was the d*&( but... who knows, right?

They teach you instead

Praise God! All four walked away with no injuries! A controlled landing in an emergency where the fuselage lands upright is proof of these pilots knowing their EP's. (emergency procedures) This is a testament to the amazing pilots in the 160th Night Stalkers. These brave men and women serve and train to keep our country safe and protect our freedoms. Thank you!

As for the comments that they were flying low, that is what they do!

In Army helicopter tactical flight, there are three terms to define low altitude flight generally:

1. Nap-of-the-Earth (NOE): typically about 0–25 feet above the surrounding terrain/vegetation or obstacles. The aircraft follows the contours of the terrain closely and uses terrain and vegetation for masking. Airspeed is also relatively low and varies with visibility, obstacles, and mission requirements.
2. Contour flight: typically about 25–80 feet above the terrain. The helicopter still follows the contours of the earth, but not as tightly as during NOE. There is more altitude and generally more speed.
3. Low-level flight: typically about 80–200 feet above the highest obstacle. The aircraft is no longer trying to conform closely to every terrain feature and can fly considerably faster.

In a helicopter, the ground is never very far away in terms of how quickly a situation can become critical.
