SEALs come aboard!
The video clip of a U.S. Navy SEAL extraction is a rarely seen sights filmed from inside a USMC MH-47 Chinook helicopter.

The pilot has lowered the ramp, dipped the tail end into the water to partially flood the compartment - a manoeuvre that requires quite precise flying - and awaits the SEALs to board. Probably few pilots would attempt this. It's too easy to lose lift and ditch the whole chopper. (22.1.08) Video clip
