This photo is a rarity. Chinooks are not normally flown this way and it is a very hard thing to do. If you have ever flown in one of these you know the guys inside must be .... well I leave it to your imagination. Its a great shot.

That is an AWESOME SHOT!!! ( And nope, no claims that it's a fake on Snopes.com) ;~D

The thought that comes to mind: "Never eat anything before a "Nap of the Earth" flight that doesn't taste as good coming back up, as it did going down!" ;~D

(((Note: Hostess Cherry Sweet Rolls aren't too bad coming back up!))) ;~D

What is the tactical reason for that manuever? I've seen smaller whirrly birds do that, but never a big ol snook, Geesh, I'd be afraid of sliding cargo......
