00:00:51,533 --> 00:00:54,266
Do Denver's 300 days of sunshine
15
00:00:54,266 --> 00:00:55,966
make the smiles a little wider?
16
00:00:55,966 --> 00:00:57,100
They definitely make the

(upbeat music)
23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,933
- [Matthew] Now I say this
a lot, but how cool is this?
24
00:01:24,033 --> 00:01:25,966
This is Lieutenant Zach Farrell.
25
00:01:25,966 --> 00:01:27,666
This is Colonel Bill McPherson.
26
00:01:27,666 --> 00:01:29,800
The amazing Gene Krans.
27
00:01:32,366 --> 00:01:35,233
You've never seen
aerospace like this.
28
00:01:35,233 --> 00:01:38,066
(plane whooshing)
29
00:01:43,666 --> 00:01:46,200
(upbeat music)
30
00:01:49,833 --> 00:01:51,200
- During the Korean War,
31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,066
U.S. Forces began using
helicopters in warfare
32
00:01:54,066 --> 00:01:56,366
to a much greater extent.
33
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:58,900
But existing
helicopters lacked power
34
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:01,233
and required a lot
of maintenance.
35
00:02:01,233 --> 00:02:04,966
So the Army held a
competition for a new design.
36
00:02:04,966 --> 00:02:09,600
In 1955 Bell helicopter
won the competition
37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,166
by building the HU-1A Iroquois,
quickly nicknamed the Huey.
38
00:02:15,733 --> 00:02:19,366
Which was later
re-designated as the UH-1A.
39
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:23,700
During the Vietnam War,
Hueys were uniquely suited
40
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:26,566
to the challenges of fighting
in the dense jungles,
41
00:02:26,566 --> 00:02:29,066
mountains, seasonal flooding,
42
00:02:29,066 --> 00:02:32,900
and a lack of general
infrastructure in the country.
43
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:34,566
The versatile helo was flown
44
00:02:34,566 --> 00:02:39,466
by the United States Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marines.
45
00:02:39,466 --> 00:02:42,733
As well as the Air Forces
of many other countries.
46
00:02:43,633 --> 00:02:47,433
Nearly 65 years after
the Huey's introduction
47
00:02:47,433 --> 00:02:50,933
a few crews are still flying
the venerable helicopter.
48
00:02:50,933 --> 00:02:55,433
But it has been widely replaced
by the UH-60 Black Hawk.
49
00:02:55,433 --> 00:02:57,866
Still Huey pilots have a saying,
50
00:02:57,866 --> 00:03:00,500
"When the last Black Hawk
goes to the boneyard,
51
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:04,133
"there will be a Huey crew
there to pick them up."
52
00:03:04,133 --> 00:03:06,800
Now let's check out some of
the features of the UH-1 Huey
53
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,800
at Wings over the Rockies
Air and Space Museum.
54
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,500
Now, what you didn't know is,
55
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:14,600
this is a Mike
model, an M model,
56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,933
which was made
specifically as a gun ship.
57
00:03:17,933 --> 00:03:21,733
Which means it's got a kind
of interesting rotor head.
58
00:03:21,733 --> 00:03:24,333
It's got a 540 rotor head,
59
00:03:24,333 --> 00:03:27,566
which give the
blades way more play
60
00:03:27,566 --> 00:03:29,633
on the left, right,
front and back.
61
00:03:29,633 --> 00:03:33,966
That's because these guys
carried a ton of ammunition.
62
00:03:33,966 --> 00:03:37,033
And you needed to be as
maneuverable as possible
63
00:03:37,033 --> 00:03:40,700
because 1400 horsepower
sounds like a lot,
64
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:44,600
but when your carrying
rockets and machine gun ammo,
65
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,333
and bunch of people,
that's not a lot of power.
66
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:52,400
Plus, you've got the
humidity of Vietnam.
67
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,900
That's not good for lift either.
68
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:57,466
(upbeat music)
69
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:00,633
All right people this
is the good stuff.
70
00:04:00,633 --> 00:04:05,233
I am here with a real
live helicopter pilot
71
00:04:05,233 --> 00:04:06,733
who was in Vietnam.
72
00:04:06,733 --> 00:04:08,400
And you did how many tours?
73
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,800
- Three.
- Three tours.
74
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,400
This is Colonel Bill McPherson.
75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,266
Thank you so much for
being with us here today.
76
00:04:15,266 --> 00:04:18,866
This is a huge honor
because I hate to say it
77
00:04:18,866 --> 00:04:21,433
but I consider you
a friend of mine.
78
00:04:21,433 --> 00:04:23,466
- We'll think about that one.
79
00:04:23,466 --> 00:04:24,400
(both laughing)
80
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,633
- Okay.
- All right.
81
00:04:25,633 --> 00:04:27,800
- Now going back to the
history of this thing,
82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,633
this guy actually
flew in Vietnam?
83
00:04:30,633 --> 00:04:35,466
- It was built in 1967
by Bell helicopter
84
00:04:35,466 --> 00:04:42,933
in Fort Worth, Texas so it went
directly to Vietnam in 1967
85
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:48,100
and was issued and assigned
to the 1st Battalion,
86
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:53,000
9th Air Cavalry Regiment,
1st Air Cavalry Division.
87
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,333
Air Cavalry Division.
(Matthew laughs)
88
00:04:55,333 --> 00:04:57,400
- So--
- No horse just helicopters?
89
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,300
- That's right, that's right.
90
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:02,033
And it served for
three years combat.
91
00:05:02,033 --> 00:05:02,900
- Wow.
92
00:05:03,166 --> 00:05:09,900
- It has 21 bullet holes
to verify it's combat time.
93
00:05:10,666 --> 00:05:16,266
It was used extensively as
support for ground troops
94
00:05:16,266 --> 00:05:18,733
who needed gun support.
95
00:05:18,733 --> 00:05:22,233
It escorted troop
carrying aircraft.
96
00:05:22,233 --> 00:05:26,033
It escorted medical
evacuation aircraft
97
00:05:26,033 --> 00:05:29,300
and was extremely
busy for three years
98
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:32,800
which takes a toll
on the mechanics,
99
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,400
the turbine, the rotor systems.
100
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,233
So at the end of three years
101
00:05:37,233 --> 00:05:41,933
it was shipped back to
Bell helicopter for rebuild
102
00:05:41,933 --> 00:05:43,833
in Amarillo, Texas.
103
00:05:43,833 --> 00:05:45,700
And as the war was winding down
104
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:48,933
they decided not to
send it back to Vietnam,
105
00:05:48,933 --> 00:05:51,500
but issue it to
the National Guard.
106
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:52,700
So it was issued
107
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:58,066
to the Nebraska Army
National Guard in 1971.
108
00:05:58,366 --> 00:06:04,300
And it was in 1996 that
it was directed to fly
109
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:09,533
to White Sands to become part
of this target drone program.
110
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,700
And as the program was
canceled a few years later,
111
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:15,933
it sat there on the air field
112
00:06:17,033 --> 00:06:20,700
until I was able to retrieve it.
113
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:22,133
- Well tell you what,
114
00:06:22,133 --> 00:06:23,800
do you want to do a
little quick walk around?
115
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,566
- Sure.
- And we can
116
00:06:24,733 --> 00:06:26,233
actually take a look
at some of these places
117
00:06:26,233 --> 00:06:27,466
where it was shot?
118
00:06:27,466 --> 00:06:30,066
(upbeat music)
119
00:06:32,566 --> 00:06:36,866
- So what I did to
illustrate the bullet holes,
120
00:06:36,866 --> 00:06:40,466
I put decals over the holes.
121
00:06:40,466 --> 00:06:44,266
The the decals or
stickers are on the patch,
122
00:06:44,266 --> 00:06:45,333
the patch cover the holes.
123
00:06:45,333 --> 00:06:46,233
- [Matthew] Covers the holes.
124
00:06:46,233 --> 00:06:48,700
- And you'll find all
over the aircraft,
125
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:54,133
there's 21 I believe, 21-22
on the aircraft right now.
126
00:06:54,133 --> 00:06:57,766
- Whoa, and in this case they
were going for the pilot,
127
00:06:57,766 --> 00:06:59,333
'cause he sat right there.
- That is correct.
128
00:06:59,333 --> 00:07:02,066
That is correct,
he sat right there.
129
00:07:02,066 --> 00:07:05,800
And they didn't get him
because the seat for the pilot
130
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,300
and the co-pilot are
bullet-proof Kevlar.
131
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:13,066
The same thing the military
helmets are made of.
132
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:14,766
- [Matthew] Right, wow.
133
00:07:14,766 --> 00:07:16,766
- So he was safe.
134
00:07:16,766 --> 00:07:19,533
- All right so we discussed
earlier this is a Mike model.
135
00:07:19,533 --> 00:07:22,033
Which means it was purpose
built to be a gun ship
136
00:07:22,033 --> 00:07:26,100
and well you can see
it's loaded for bear.
137
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,833
Down here are two M60
flex mount machine guns,
138
00:07:30,833 --> 00:07:33,900
that's a 7.62
millimeter machine gun.
139
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,833
And they are
actually on a mount,
140
00:07:35,833 --> 00:07:37,566
two on each side that allow them
141
00:07:37,566 --> 00:07:40,533
to move left and
right and up and down.
142
00:07:40,533 --> 00:07:42,100
Not a lot but just enough
143
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:44,666
that you didn't have to
really aim the helicopter
144
00:07:44,666 --> 00:07:47,300
as much as you would if
they were a fixed mount.
145
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:52,233
Now, inboard of the machine
guns is something even scarier.
146
00:07:52,233 --> 00:07:54,033
Seven-shot rocket pod
147
00:07:54,033 --> 00:07:58,700
with 2.75 inch folding
fin aerial rockets.
148
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,600
These guy were monsters.
149
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,166
They could carry a
high explosive warhead,
150
00:08:03,166 --> 00:08:08,166
white phosphorus or
even scarier, this guy.
151
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,366
2200 in each rocket
of the flechette,
152
00:08:14,066 --> 00:08:17,300
think of it as a
tiny steel arrow.
153
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:22,333
This would just denude the
countryside of any vegetation,
154
00:08:22,333 --> 00:08:24,666
and anybody in it.
155
00:08:24,666 --> 00:08:26,366
Super scary.
156
00:08:26,366 --> 00:08:29,400
But, what's this
bad boy right here?
157
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,300
It's just a door mounted M60.
158
00:08:32,300 --> 00:08:36,033
And the M60 is the same
thing that this guy was.
159
00:08:36,033 --> 00:08:39,633
This is in the
infantry configuration.
160
00:08:39,633 --> 00:08:41,100
So if these guys went down,
161
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,700
you could literally
dismount this weapon
162
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:46,700
and use it to defend
yourself from the bad guys.
163
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:50,033
So how much ammunition could
these guys actually carry?
164
00:08:50,033 --> 00:08:51,733
Well, for example this box
165
00:08:51,733 --> 00:08:56,466
right here will carry
500 belted 7.62 rounds.
166
00:08:56,466 --> 00:09:00,866
A lot of guys would carry
80 to 90 of these boxes
167
00:09:00,866 --> 00:09:03,466
to feed these
behemoths down here.
168
00:09:03,466 --> 00:09:07,700
That's a lot of ammunition but
you've got to keep in mind,
169
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,666
you can't just load
yourself down with ammo
170
00:09:10,666 --> 00:09:12,933
because you've got
to keep fuel in mind.
171
00:09:12,933 --> 00:09:15,266
And if you've got
a long mission,
172
00:09:15,266 --> 00:09:17,933
you gotta have more
fuel and less ammo.
173
00:09:17,933 --> 00:09:19,633
But if you've got
a short mission,
174
00:09:19,633 --> 00:09:21,400
you can really load up on this
175
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,866
and stay on station
for quite a bit longer.
176
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,366
We are here with Lieutenant
Colonel Ken Overturf.
177
00:09:28,366 --> 00:09:30,500
Thank you so much for
being with us sir.
178
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:33,966
I'm going to take this thing
off my head. (laughing)
179
00:09:33,966 --> 00:09:36,133
(groans) It's very cool though.
180
00:09:37,133 --> 00:09:41,933
You flew H models, and you
flew for a Project Left Bank.
181
00:09:41,933 --> 00:09:42,800
- That's correct.
182
00:09:42,933 --> 00:09:46,600
- And that was looking
for radio signals and?
183
00:09:46,633 --> 00:09:49,966
- Locating the enemy
via radio interceptions.
184
00:09:49,966 --> 00:09:52,066
- [Matthew] And where
were you doing that?
185
00:09:52,066 --> 00:09:55,333
- At that time, the
1st Cavalry Division,
186
00:09:55,333 --> 00:09:57,933
the unit that I flew with,
187
00:09:57,933 --> 00:10:01,633
was headquartered in
Phuoc Vinh, Vietnam.
188
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:07,100
In War Zone C, right about
the middle of South Vietnam.
189
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:11,200
- Okay, for our viewers
and especially me,
190
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,633
can you take us through
kind of what it's like,
191
00:10:13,633 --> 00:10:16,366
some tips and tricks
on how to fly the Huey?
192
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:22,900
- Let's do a brief
helicopter flying 101.
193
00:10:23,266 --> 00:10:24,300
- Excellent.
194
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,733
- There three maneuver
controls on this helicopter.
195
00:10:27,733 --> 00:10:29,133
We'll go through
them one at a time.
196
00:10:29,133 --> 00:10:29,833
- [Matthew] Okay.
197
00:10:30,066 --> 00:10:32,600
- Starting with the
first one is the cyclic.
198
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,133
The stick if you will,
right between your legs,
199
00:10:37,133 --> 00:10:41,900
this cyclic provides
the horizontal movement
200
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:43,300
in the helicopter.
201
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:46,966
And how it does that is when
the rotor head is spinning,
202
00:10:46,966 --> 00:10:51,933
it's operational rpm of
6,600 revolutions per minute,
203
00:10:52,233 --> 00:10:54,000
it becomes like a
giant dinner plate.
204
00:10:54,033 --> 00:10:56,200
And you can envision
this giant dinner plate.
205
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,033
- [Matthew] Okay.
206
00:10:57,333 --> 00:11:00,900
- Now with this cyclic,
what your doing is balancing
207
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:03,300
that giant dinner plate.
208
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:07,833
Tip the cyclic forward, the
dinner plate tips forward,
209
00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:09,433
and the aircraft moves forward.
210
00:11:10,333 --> 00:11:13,733
Next control is the collective.
211
00:11:13,733 --> 00:11:19,200
This control gives your
vertical movement capability.
212
00:11:20,133 --> 00:11:22,433
When you're ready to go up,
213
00:11:22,433 --> 00:11:24,633
pull the collective up,
214
00:11:24,633 --> 00:11:28,666
and it puts pitch in the
blades of that spinning plate.
215
00:11:29,466 --> 00:11:31,800
Then we go to the
third control,
216
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,866
which are the
anti-torque pedals.
217
00:11:34,866 --> 00:11:39,400
The torque caused by the power,
218
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,100
when you're putting
pitch in the blades,
219
00:11:43,333 --> 00:11:47,233
moves us into Newton's
third law of motion.
220
00:11:48,233 --> 00:11:53,200
For every action, the rotor
head spinning counter clockwise,
221
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:55,900
an equal and opposite reaction,
222
00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:59,533
the fuselage will tend
to turn clockwise.
223
00:11:59,533 --> 00:12:00,966
- [Matthew] Okay.
224
00:12:00,966 --> 00:12:04,366
- So to fly this
helicopter all you have
225
00:12:04,366 --> 00:12:07,133
to do is balance
the dinner plate,
226
00:12:07,133 --> 00:12:11,000
manage your vertical
and ascent, descent,
227
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,466
and keep the nose straight
with the pedals all the time.
228
00:12:14,466 --> 00:12:18,233
- Oh well that's
not hard. (laughing)
229
00:12:18,233 --> 00:12:20,300
Guys, thank you so much.
- Pleasure.
230
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:21,733
- Colonel Bill, Colonel Ken,
231
00:12:21,733 --> 00:12:23,366
it's always a pleasure
to be with you.
232
00:12:23,366 --> 00:12:25,433
- Certainly.
- But guess what?
233
00:12:25,433 --> 00:12:28,800
I'm gonna go see what
has taken the place,
234
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,666
but will never replace the Huey.
235
00:12:32,666 --> 00:12:35,400
- You got it.
- And that is the Black Hawk.
236
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,333
In the late 1970s,
237
00:12:38,333 --> 00:12:41,433
the United States Army started
replacing the UH-1 Huey
238
00:12:41,433 --> 00:12:43,400
with the UH-60 Black Hawk
239
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,366
as their new tactical
transport helicopter.
240
00:12:46,366 --> 00:12:48,700
Manufactured by
Sikorsky Aircraft,
241
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:51,266
modified versions of the
Black Hawk have been developed
242
00:12:51,266 --> 00:12:54,366
for the U.S. Navy, Air
Force, and Coast Guard.
243
00:12:54,366 --> 00:12:57,166
These have been designated
the Seahawk for the Navy,
244
00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:58,800
Pave Hawk for the Air Force,
245
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,400
and Jayhawk for the Coast Guard.
246
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,466
Luckily, we have some friends
247
00:13:03,466 --> 00:13:06,866
at the United States Coast
Guard Sector San Diego,
248
00:13:06,866 --> 00:13:09,433
who are going to show
us the ends and outs
249
00:13:09,433 --> 00:13:11,766
of the Jayhawks in their fleet.
250
00:13:11,766 --> 00:13:14,333
(upbeat music)
251
00:13:18,933 --> 00:13:22,500
The origins of this station
can be traced back to the 1930s
252
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:24,100
when the city of
San Diego wanted
253
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:25,800
to have a Coast Guard presence
254
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,233
given the increasing
maritime traffic.
255
00:13:28,233 --> 00:13:32,033
Today, there are over
400 individuals on base,
256
00:13:32,033 --> 00:13:35,300
including active duty
personnel and civilians.
257
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:39,866
They also have three
MH-60T Jayhawks.
258
00:13:39,866 --> 00:13:43,200
Including one
gorgeous yellow one.
259
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,500
But right now we're going to
talk to Sector Response Chief
260
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:49,666
and Air Ops Officer
Commander Chris Wright
261
00:13:49,666 --> 00:13:50,866
about the Coast Guard
262
00:13:50,866 --> 00:13:53,500
and the work being
done by this station.
263
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,666
- So tell us a little bit
about the Coast Guard.
264
00:13:55,666 --> 00:13:57,633
What do you guys really do?
265
00:13:57,633 --> 00:13:59,633
- So the Coast Guard is
pretty unique in the fact
266
00:13:59,633 --> 00:14:02,166
that we're one of the
five military branches.
267
00:14:02,166 --> 00:14:04,133
But we actually are not under
the Department of Defense,
268
00:14:04,133 --> 00:14:06,500
we're under the Department
of Homeland Security.
269
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,266
And as one of these
five military branches,
270
00:14:08,266 --> 00:14:11,066
we actually execute all typical
defense military missions
271
00:14:11,066 --> 00:14:13,666
if needed, but we
actually also transition
272
00:14:13,666 --> 00:14:15,200
to 11 statutory missions.
273
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,100
So, things like
search and rescue,
274
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:20,066
homeland security missions,
pollution response--
275
00:14:20,066 --> 00:14:22,000
- Oh wow.
- Even ice breaking.
276
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,200
That all falls under
the Coast Guard.
277
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,533
And what we like to say is,
278
00:14:25,533 --> 00:14:27,566
we're sort of the
protectors of mariners
279
00:14:27,566 --> 00:14:28,766
who are in distress,
280
00:14:28,766 --> 00:14:31,466
we also protect the
homeland against threats
281
00:14:31,466 --> 00:14:33,500
that are coming from the sea,
282
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,333
and we even protect
the sea itself.
283
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:38,900
- So I referred to
you as response chief.
284
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:43,766
That means that anything
that happens in this area,
285
00:14:43,766 --> 00:14:46,300
you're gonna be the
guy to send out boats,
286
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:49,633
air assets, anything that
you have here at the base,
287
00:14:49,633 --> 00:14:50,566
is that correct?
- Yeah.
288
00:14:50,566 --> 00:14:51,733
It's a kind of unique position.
289
00:14:51,733 --> 00:14:53,066
So I get to do the fun stuff,
290
00:14:53,066 --> 00:14:54,533
like when we talk
about the helicopter.
291
00:14:54,533 --> 00:14:56,800
I get to fly that and
still stay on duty.
292
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,700
But our three 87-foot patrol
boats fall under operations
293
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:03,433
and tactical control
of the sector,
294
00:15:03,433 --> 00:15:04,866
and I help manage that.
295
00:15:04,866 --> 00:15:06,433
As well as our
small boat station,
296
00:15:06,433 --> 00:15:08,866
which has four
small boats that act
297
00:15:08,866 --> 00:15:10,566
as tactical pursuit operations,
298
00:15:10,566 --> 00:15:12,066
law enforcement,
search and rescues.
299
00:15:12,066 --> 00:15:14,266
- Can we go do a walk
around on the helo?
300
00:15:14,266 --> 00:15:16,100
- Well I would love to
but I actually have to run
301
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:17,900
and deal with some
response stuff.
302
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:18,766
- [Matthew] Understandable.
303
00:15:18,766 --> 00:15:19,733
- But I have an
awesome lieutenant
304
00:15:19,733 --> 00:15:21,133
who will be able
to walk you through
305
00:15:21,133 --> 00:15:22,566
all the ins and outs
of the helicopter.
306
00:15:22,566 --> 00:15:23,466
- Does he have a mustache?
307
00:15:23,666 --> 00:15:25,233
'Cause I don't want a
lieutenant with a mustache.
308
00:15:25,233 --> 00:15:27,833
(upbeat music)
309
00:15:30,666 --> 00:15:33,033
This is the helicopter
I was talking about,
310
00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:34,033
this yellow guy.
311
00:15:34,033 --> 00:15:35,466
I love this paint scheme.
312
00:15:35,466 --> 00:15:38,033
It's not typical and
we're gonna find out why.
313
00:15:38,033 --> 00:15:39,966
But how cool is this?
314
00:15:39,966 --> 00:15:42,000
Now somewhere around
here is a pilot
315
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,333
that we're gonna talk to,
316
00:15:43,366 --> 00:15:46,100
all we gotta do is just kind
of wait around for him or--
317
00:15:46,133 --> 00:15:47,633
- Hey, you must be Matthew.
318
00:15:47,633 --> 00:15:48,800
- You must be the mustache.
319
00:15:48,833 --> 00:15:49,633
- Yeah, that's me.
320
00:15:50,033 --> 00:15:51,500
Can't have an aviation show
without a mustache, am I right?
321
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:52,400
- That's very true.
322
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,100
Okay, he's not actually
called the mustache.
323
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:55,266
Well maybe he is, I don't know.
324
00:15:55,266 --> 00:15:57,300
But this is Lieutenant
Zach Farrell,
325
00:15:57,300 --> 00:15:59,566
and he's gonna walk us
around this helicopter.
326
00:15:59,566 --> 00:16:00,633
All right, LT.
- Yeah.
327
00:16:00,666 --> 00:16:02,166
- [Matthew] Let's talk
about this paint scheme.
328
00:16:02,166 --> 00:16:03,066
What gives?
329
00:16:03,266 --> 00:16:06,733
- So the Coast Guard in
1916 had its first flight.
330
00:16:06,733 --> 00:16:07,600
- [Matthew] Okay.
331
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:11,233
- 2016 right, here
on our sweet patch,
332
00:16:11,233 --> 00:16:13,633
we celebrated 100 years
of Coast Guard aviation.
333
00:16:13,633 --> 00:16:15,100
So earlier Coast Guard aircraft,
334
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:16,800
they flew a yellow paint scheme,
335
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,466
it's kind of like how the NFL
will do a throw back color.
336
00:16:19,466 --> 00:16:20,366
- [Matthew] Oh sweet.
337
00:16:20,533 --> 00:16:21,600
- [Zach] The Coast Guard's
doing the same thing.
338
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,766
- Very cool.
339
00:16:22,766 --> 00:16:24,300
All right, so lets
talk about the bird.
340
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:25,500
Where do you want to start?
341
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:26,733
- Absolutely, so let's
just kind of talk
342
00:16:26,733 --> 00:16:28,366
about the MH-60 as a whole.
- Okay.
343
00:16:28,366 --> 00:16:30,466
- So the Coast Guard
actually has two helicopters.
344
00:16:30,466 --> 00:16:33,233
They've got an
MH-65, the Dolphin.
345
00:16:33,233 --> 00:16:35,100
And the MH-60 Tango,
346
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:38,233
which is kind of the special
that we're focusing on today.
347
00:16:38,233 --> 00:16:40,166
- Right.
- And it's the Jayhawk.
348
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:42,500
So Sikorsky initially
built this aircraft
349
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,200
because they wanted
a combat aircraft,
350
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,466
so it's very redundant.
351
00:16:45,466 --> 00:16:48,066
It's got three
hydraulic systems,
352
00:16:48,066 --> 00:16:50,400
it has multiple
electrical systems,
353
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,000
it has multiple fuel
lines feeding the engines.
354
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,566
- Whoa.
- The idea was
355
00:16:54,566 --> 00:16:56,233
you did not want this helicopter
356
00:16:56,233 --> 00:16:59,400
to be taken down when it's
getting hit with enemy fire.
357
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,100
- Right.
- So, very redundant.
358
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:03,300
It's designed to fly
into a combat zone,
359
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:07,133
take on shots, put troops
on the ground, get out.
360
00:17:07,133 --> 00:17:09,133
It really gives you kinda
of a nice feeling knowing
361
00:17:09,133 --> 00:17:11,533
that the helicopter is
so structurally sound,
362
00:17:11,533 --> 00:17:13,933
when we're taking it
hundreds of miles off shore
363
00:17:13,933 --> 00:17:15,700
to affect whatever
the mission might be.
364
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:17,600
- Let's do a walk
around on this guy.
365
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,533
- Absolutely.
366
00:17:18,533 --> 00:17:19,400
- Where do you want to start?
367
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:21,333
- So, let's start over
here at the cabin door,
368
00:17:21,333 --> 00:17:22,866
and then we'll just kind
of make our way around.
369
00:17:22,866 --> 00:17:23,900
- Yeah, I like it.
370
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Literally right above my
head, is one of the engines.
371
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,766
- Yes, so one of two.
372
00:17:30,766 --> 00:17:34,066
One engine's capable of putting
out about 1800 horsepower.
373
00:17:34,066 --> 00:17:35,333
- [Matthew] Whoa.
374
00:17:35,333 --> 00:17:38,066
- In the event that the
pilot needed a little more,
375
00:17:38,066 --> 00:17:40,533
we've got a switch that
we can hit in the cockpit,
376
00:17:40,533 --> 00:17:43,033
that gives us about
200 more horsepower.
377
00:17:43,033 --> 00:17:44,633
It burns the engine a little bit
378
00:17:44,633 --> 00:17:45,800
but it's just nice to know
379
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,200
that the helicopter has
that capability built in,
380
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,733
in the event that you
did need more power.
381
00:17:50,733 --> 00:17:52,266
So, commonly people will ask,
382
00:17:52,266 --> 00:17:54,666
"Oh is this a bomb or
is this a torpedo?"
383
00:17:54,666 --> 00:17:56,566
No, this is an
external fuel tank.
384
00:17:56,566 --> 00:17:58,366
And we've got one on this
side of the helicopter,
385
00:17:58,366 --> 00:17:59,800
if we were to walk
around to the other side
386
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,166
there'd be two more.
387
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:02,633
I think these fuel tanks,
388
00:18:02,633 --> 00:18:05,666
and kind of our range
and our capability is one
389
00:18:05,666 --> 00:18:07,900
of the things that sets
the Coast Guard apart.
390
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:10,700
We're capable of putting
6000 pounds of fuel
391
00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:12,300
on this helicopter.
392
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:14,733
Which gives us about
six flight hours.
393
00:18:14,733 --> 00:18:17,800
- Wow.
- A range of about 600 miles.
394
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,166
Theoretically, we'd go 250
to 300 miles off shore.
395
00:18:21,166 --> 00:18:24,866
We can hover for about 30
minutes, enact a rescue,
396
00:18:24,866 --> 00:18:27,700
and then fly 250
to 300 miles back.
397
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:30,300
What I would say happens
even more frequently,
398
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:34,200
is we'll get a report
of a person overboard,
399
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,233
or a flare sighting,
or a mayday,
400
00:18:37,233 --> 00:18:39,766
and we have to go and we have
to search for these people.
401
00:18:39,766 --> 00:18:41,366
The other services,
it's my understanding
402
00:18:41,366 --> 00:18:43,200
that they use the 60
as kind of like a,
403
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,033
we're gonna go from A to B,
we're gonna affect the mission.
404
00:18:46,033 --> 00:18:47,933
They don't need as much fuel.
405
00:18:47,933 --> 00:18:49,733
With the Coast
Guard, any given day,
406
00:18:49,733 --> 00:18:54,166
somebody could sound the
mayday off their radio,
407
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:55,800
it comes to our watchstanders.
408
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,700
And now we find
ourselves in a search
409
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:00,833
that might last us six
hours, 10 hours, 12 hours.
410
00:19:00,833 --> 00:19:03,933
And this helicopter has the
capability to go out there,
411
00:19:03,933 --> 00:19:05,933
fly that entire search pattern,
412
00:19:05,933 --> 00:19:09,800
cover a large expansive
area searching
413
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,166
for whatever individual
may be in need.
414
00:19:12,166 --> 00:19:14,800
And often times because
we have that capability
415
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,666
it will end in a
successful evolution
416
00:19:17,666 --> 00:19:19,766
where ideally we've
saved somebody's life.
417
00:19:19,766 --> 00:19:22,166
- That really does
set you guys apart.
418
00:19:22,166 --> 00:19:23,600
That's impressive.
419
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,566
Since we're kind of relating
this back to the Huey,
420
00:19:28,666 --> 00:19:33,000
one of the big differences
is the rotor system itself.
421
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,800
So, on the Huey it was
a two-blade system.
422
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,166
This is a four blade system.
- Yes.
423
00:19:38,166 --> 00:19:39,700
- But there's
another difference,
424
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:41,366
and it's in the
rotor head, somehow?
425
00:19:41,366 --> 00:19:42,433
- In the rotor head.
426
00:19:42,566 --> 00:19:47,766
Yeah, so the Huey had, it
was a teetering rotor system.
427
00:19:47,766 --> 00:19:49,466
And so the rotor system would
428
00:19:49,466 --> 00:19:52,833
actually kind of teeter back
and forth about the mast.
429
00:19:52,833 --> 00:19:56,066
And it gave that classic
whop, whop, whop, whop, whop,
430
00:19:56,066 --> 00:20:00,300
that you often correlate
with old movies on Vietnam
431
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:01,366
or whatever it is.
432
00:20:01,366 --> 00:20:02,566
- "Platoon."
- "Platoon."
433
00:20:02,566 --> 00:20:05,266
So, the great thing
about the 60 is
434
00:20:05,266 --> 00:20:08,133
it's got a rigid rotor system.
435
00:20:08,133 --> 00:20:10,133
And so, basically all
the components are
436
00:20:10,133 --> 00:20:13,066
about one solid titanium hub
437
00:20:13,066 --> 00:20:14,733
which is connected to the mast.
438
00:20:14,733 --> 00:20:16,766
And there's not any play there.
439
00:20:16,766 --> 00:20:19,600
So just a really
solid rotor system.
440
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,466
The benefit to that is it
takes on various G-loads
441
00:20:23,466 --> 00:20:26,300
a whole lot more effectively
than old Huey did.
442
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:29,933
And it's just a much
more stable platform.
443
00:20:29,933 --> 00:20:32,200
And then you mix that in with
the stabilization systems
444
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,033
that we have built
into this helicopter,
445
00:20:34,033 --> 00:20:36,766
and this helicopter
produces a very smooth ride.
446
00:20:36,766 --> 00:20:38,600
- Speaking of UH-1s,
447
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,866
we were in the cockpit
of a Huey earlier,
448
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:44,633
an actual Vietnam era Huey.
449
00:20:44,633 --> 00:20:45,433
- That's awesome.
450
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:47,766
- I know that the cockpit
has gotta be different
451
00:20:47,766 --> 00:20:50,333
than that thing, can we
go check this on out?
452
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:51,900
- Yeah, absolutely let's
move up to the cockpit.
453
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:53,100
- Yeah, yeah.
454
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:55,933
This looks totally
different than the Huey.
455
00:20:55,933 --> 00:20:56,933
- Just a little bit.
456
00:20:56,933 --> 00:20:59,366
- What's going on with
all of these screens?
457
00:20:59,366 --> 00:21:01,133
- So what you're
probably used to seeing,
458
00:21:01,133 --> 00:21:03,400
what I imagine the Huey
at the museum looks like,
459
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,533
these probably have
steam gages everywhere?
460
00:21:05,533 --> 00:21:06,966
- Yep.
- A bunch of switches,
461
00:21:06,966 --> 00:21:08,966
probably not a lot
of the electronics
462
00:21:08,966 --> 00:21:10,133
that you're seeing in here.
463
00:21:10,133 --> 00:21:12,700
The good folks at Coast
Guard headquarters
464
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:14,766
decided to bring us
into the 21st century.
465
00:21:14,766 --> 00:21:15,433
(Matthew laughing)
466
00:21:15,733 --> 00:21:16,900
And so what you've got
in front of you is,
467
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:20,633
you have five MFDs,
multi-functional displays
468
00:21:20,633 --> 00:21:23,900
and they will display all
of our instrumentation.
469
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:27,666
Additionally we can pull up
video systems while we search.
470
00:21:27,666 --> 00:21:30,200
We've got a camera
underneath the helicopter
471
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,700
that can aide in a search.
472
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:33,800
It can pull up infrared imagery
473
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,266
to pick up body heat if
we're looking for a survivor.
474
00:21:36,266 --> 00:21:36,933
- Wow.
475
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,866
- So, we can actually
control the camera
476
00:21:38,866 --> 00:21:40,100
from this joystick
here in the center.
477
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:41,033
- Oh, no kidding.
478
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:43,800
- [Zach] So, either the pilot
or the co-pilot can operate,
479
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,633
it kind of swivels
back and forth.
480
00:21:45,633 --> 00:21:48,300
The flight mech in the
back or the rescue swimmer
481
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:50,700
they actually have their
one joystick as well.
482
00:21:50,700 --> 00:21:53,666
As well as their own screen
to where they can operate it
483
00:21:53,666 --> 00:21:55,133
and the pilot flies.
- Whoa!
484
00:21:55,133 --> 00:21:57,566
- It's all about
divvying out tasks
485
00:21:57,566 --> 00:22:01,600
in the cockpit to make sure
that you're the pilot flying,
486
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,266
your primary job is to fly.
487
00:22:04,266 --> 00:22:07,233
I'm the pilot monitoring
or the safety pilot,
488
00:22:07,233 --> 00:22:09,833
my primary job is
to back you up,
489
00:22:09,833 --> 00:22:12,633
to run radios, to make sure
that the aircraft's safe.
490
00:22:12,633 --> 00:22:14,333
And then we've got
a rescue swimmer,
491
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:16,133
who can be helping
with the videography.
492
00:22:16,133 --> 00:22:17,133
We've got the flight mech,
493
00:22:17,133 --> 00:22:18,900
who can be looking
outside the cabin door.
494
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:21,833
It's really like a
cohesive team effort
495
00:22:21,833 --> 00:22:24,200
to make sure that the mission
is done as effectively
496
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,766
and as safely as possible.
497
00:22:25,766 --> 00:22:26,966
- You fly these things.
498
00:22:26,966 --> 00:22:30,066
You probably know how to
like, start this bad boy up.
499
00:22:30,066 --> 00:22:32,966
- Yeah, I might be
able to give a peek.
500
00:22:32,966 --> 00:22:35,633
Andy, we good to
pull some power?
501
00:22:36,333 --> 00:22:37,833
(machines whirring)
502
00:22:37,833 --> 00:22:39,400
All right so--
- Oh yeah!
503
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,500
- As we fire it up,
it's a little loud.
504
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:42,366
- Yeah.
505
00:22:42,633 --> 00:22:44,000
- 'Cause there's a lot of
electricity that's coming
506
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,700
to each of these units.
507
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:47,600
So the screen closest to you,
508
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,633
that's your primary
flight display.
509
00:22:49,633 --> 00:22:50,066
- [Matthew] Okay.
510
00:22:50,333 --> 00:22:51,300
- It gives you your air speed.-
511
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:53,000
- Heading.
- Your heading,
512
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,933
your attitude
indicator, altitude.
513
00:22:55,933 --> 00:23:00,000
In the center, we like to keep
all of our engine instruments
514
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,666
so that the pilot can reference.
515
00:23:01,666 --> 00:23:04,066
I'm the co-pilot,
I can reference.
516
00:23:04,066 --> 00:23:07,900
I can pull up a video display.
517
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:09,400
And so right now
518
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,666
you can see your camera
guy there in the back.
519
00:23:11,666 --> 00:23:12,500
- [Matthew] Oh,
that's so awesome.
520
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:14,133
- So I've got him on our camera,
521
00:23:14,133 --> 00:23:16,500
as he has his camera on us.
522
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:21,166
- All right we're half
way there, can we go fly?
523
00:23:21,166 --> 00:23:24,333
- You know what, I think
we've got something lined up.
524
00:23:24,333 --> 00:23:25,566
- Oh my god.
525
00:23:25,566 --> 00:23:27,300
- Yeah, let's go do it.
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
526
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:28,633
- Let's get you geared up first.
527
00:23:28,633 --> 00:23:29,933
- All right even better.
528
00:23:29,933 --> 00:23:31,000
- All right let's go.
529
00:23:31,866 --> 00:23:34,433
(upbeat music)
530
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:50,600
- [Matthew] How cool is this?
531
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Not only did I get to ride
along with the Coast Guard,
532
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,966
but I got a front row seat
during an actual training drill.
533
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,566
A standard search and
rescue crew is made up
534
00:24:01,566 --> 00:24:04,466
of a rescue swimmer,
a flight mechanic,
535
00:24:04,466 --> 00:24:06,333
a pilot and a co-pilot.
536
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:09,533
Depending on the situation,
537
00:24:09,533 --> 00:24:12,300
rescue swimmers can free
fall from the helicopter
538
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,800
or be lowered down
via the rescue hook
539
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,933
onto a boat or directly
into the water.
540
00:24:17,933 --> 00:24:20,900
Swimmers deploy from
helicopters for medical cases
541
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:23,300
on cruise ships, or tankers.
542
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:26,466
And they also respond
to boats taking on water
543
00:24:26,466 --> 00:24:29,966
or rescue people who are
already in the water.
544
00:24:29,966 --> 00:24:32,066
I can't say enough
about the swimmers,
545
00:24:32,066 --> 00:24:36,566
they're extremely well trained,
focused and mentally tough.
546
00:24:36,566 --> 00:24:40,100
I suppose you have to be to
jump out of a moving helicopter.
547
00:24:44,033 --> 00:24:47,633
It's the most widely used
American military helicopter
548
00:24:47,633 --> 00:24:52,600
of all time and the
icon of the Vietnam war.
549
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,200
It's legacy continues
to this day,
550
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,466
with the sounds of it's blades
still filling the skies.
551
00:24:59,266 --> 00:25:00,933
From taking a tour of the Huey
552
00:25:00,933 --> 00:25:03,366
at Wings over the Rockies
Air and Space Museum
553
00:25:03,366 --> 00:25:05,066
with the men who flew it,
554
00:25:05,066 --> 00:25:07,666
to riding along with the
United States Coast Guard
555
00:25:07,666 --> 00:25:10,200
in the MH-60 Jayhawk,
556
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,366
we've taken you behind the
wings of the UH-1 Iroquois.
557
00:25:15,766 --> 00:25:18,366
(upbeat music)
558
00:25:18,866 --> 00:25:20,200
Are you gonna shake
my hand or not?
559
00:25:20,466 --> 00:25:22,533
- Oh, I thought about it but.
560
00:25:22,533 --> 00:25:23,766
(both laughing)
561
00:25:23,766 --> 00:25:25,100
- You heard it!
562
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:26,466
You heard it.
563
00:25:26,466 --> 00:25:28,933
He'll never say a nice
thing about me again.
564
00:25:29,033 --> 00:25:30,266
Sorry.
565
00:25:30,666 --> 00:25:31,866
(laughing) Okay.
566
00:25:31,966 --> 00:25:33,000
Brilliant, buddy.
567
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:33,866
(Zach laughing)
568
00:25:33,866 --> 00:25:34,800
You're a real, you're hired.
569
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,866
- [Narrator] Little
learners can read, write,
570
00:26:06,866 --> 00:26:10,466
talk, sing and play
at Arapahoe Libraries.
571
00:26:10,466 --> 00:26:14,000
Make a play date, join a story
time, build a masterpiece
572
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,700
and present a puppet
show all in one morning.
573
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:19,333
More at arapahoelibraries.org.
574
00:26:22,300 --> 00:26:24,900
Do Denver's 300 days of sunshine
575
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:26,633
make the smiles a little wider?
576
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:28,400
They definitely make the
577
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,266
energy here stronger.
578
00:26:30,266 --> 00:26:32,266
So you can enjoy the blue skies
579
00:26:32,266 --> 00:26:34,566
and mountain view sunsets.
580
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:37,366
Denver. Soak it all in.
