A double chinook flyover at the bottom of Lake Windermere last year
as captured on GoPro by me on a kayak
and yes, I regret opening my mouth, but I decided to keep the audio so you can hear the choppers smile

^^^^ that was cool!

while on the subject of Chinook's, ever seen one fire it's minigun at night?
about 130 round in 2 seconds, every 5th round is a tracer...... biggrin
you see the light and then hear the noise a few seconds later, this is my video and it's a spectacle that is incredible to watch!
