Danish Defence MH-60R Seahawk bad weather landing

A Danish Air Force MH-60R Seahawk testing bad weather landing capabilities on a Danish Navy Thetis-class arctic patrolship around the Faroe Islands.

I have ridden in UH-60's before. That is a BIG helicopter trying to land on a 'picnic blanket' on a bucking ship in a stormy ocean. Even attempting this landing is heroic and this guy nailed it. Naval aviators are a different breed.

[Sangth]

It genuinely makes me at ease somehow, just knowing there are people this competent out there.

[SeaWhiz]

Incredible display of skill and precision! The crew handled that bad weather landing like true professionals. It's amazing to see the capability of the MH-60R Seahawk in such challenging conditions. Huge respect to the Danish Defence for their expertise and commitment. 👏🚁

A free-deck landing without a stabilizing winch cable is a high skill evolution. Well done!

[allanwhite]

The two guys on deck guiding it in are also clearly blessed in the big balls department.

That helicopter crew is beyond professional- they’re certified badasses!

[vrgo]

That crew was either eating warm stew that evening or at the bottom of the ocean. Not many jobs where the options are so far apart. Respect.

[frankmmiii]

Very impressive. Perfect landing without having to be winched to the boat. That right there is skill.

[TheMightyKingzuru]

The pilot is well skilled. That was butter landing, and it deserves a page in all helicopter user manual.

[HughEve]

det må være svært at flyve sådan en helikopter med løg på størrelse med kokosnødder.

[JonStrater]

That helicopter is entirely too overladen by the weight of the pilot's balls.

[michaelteter]

Unbelievable. And that final touchdown was so tight!

I cant believe this only has 750k views! Timing those swells is absolutely incredible talent!

[stevenstreets]

Intense.. most intense thing I've seen on the internet in a while. 👏

[magnificentmuttley]

That is the most incredible video of exceptional flying skills I have ever seen. Brilliant.

[ronniefarnsworth]

All without a Beartrap hauldown device !!
Great flying skills to our Danish allies 👍 Semper Fi

[leokimvideo]

How this hasn't got a billion views is beyond belief

[badlaamaurukehu]

I participated in one of these from the aft observation portal over 1MC. Our flight deck was smaller and the 60 had to angle at around 45° for the tail to touch but it worked.

I was impressed.

That’s not a “bad weather landing” in The North Sea, that’s just Tuesday.

Great pilots make great landings...
