Do not challenge helicopter pilots.
They’re all crazy.
This is real. Welcome to the Netherlands. https://www.omroepbrabant.nl/nieuws/4531833/speedboot-racet-op-de-maas-tegen-laagvliegende-chinook-bekijk-de-beelden
The blades of the shithook are so perfectly sharp they sliced right through the sails of that boat and you can’t even see them move before the camera’s already moved on

Hey some folks find tandem rotors attractive, there’s no need for bigotry.
It’s tandem, not bi-rotory.
Those aren’t helicopter blades; Boeing forges eight oversized Kitanas and epoxy glues them to the flywheel, hence the 30 million dollar price tag.
Is the Chinook actually bad?
As someone who’s been on one, lemme tell ya,
I have always been fascinated by chinooks ever since i was a little kid. There is just something so raw and powerful with this aircraft that really vibes with me.
really vibes with me
Just watch out for the ground resonance.
That pilot has a deathwish, and proud about it.
Afaik that’s is a base requirement for Chinook pilots - the pilots vibe must match the machines.
He’s already dead. The rotor wash isn’t touching the water

I think this is a render. There is no water disturbance from the helicopter.
Quite certain it is not a CGI, doing this good of a CGI would be more expensive than just getting some to fly the helicopter.
The “too stable” comments do not realize that two vehicles filming each other with roughly same speed just look stable.
If you would fake it, the camera would have not done those rotations etc, because that makes CGI much more complex. And there is no faked camera shake/zooms/focus changes that in general happen in all faked videos.
Oh yeah this ABSOLUTELY is a render. The way it moves too stable compared to the boat shaking around is a dead giveaway, and the rotor blades are way too crisp
I’m pretty sure it’s real. You can tell because it was posted in NCD.
There is at the end, in the last second or two. The back ramp is down and the crew chiefs are having a blast. Rotor wing would def do this. I vote real
