Working at North Island I used to watch the Navy seals train quite often in the San Diego Harbor and I once saw them doing that. When I first saw the Chinook looking like it was going land on the water I thought "What the hell?" Then the seals came and pulled themselves and the CRRC aboard I thought "WOW, that is cool!"A maritime variation of the maneuver called the "Delta Queen" is used to rapidly recover special operations teams in small boats.

That’s an awesome photo. Like sands through the hourglass.
2 shots in a row without a jam. That's impressive.
IndeedGood thing he didn't paint it black.
