Amazing Chinook Pilot
This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a halo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA National Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the ass end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear? Impressive, don't you think?

Salute to the brave pilot who rescue the wounded soldier!
Yeah! Bravo to the brave pilot for his courage and skillfulness! :D
The trick is this:
Brake the rear wheels and balance the chinook on mid-air. Make the rear push-force will balance out with the gripping power of the wheels.
And since the rear area of the chinook is always heavier than the front, then it is easy to maintain the centre gravity at the rear wheels.
Leave no man behind whether dead or alive!
To Liu Huang Di: Written like a rocket scientist :D
To Snake: No man will be left behind provided no Taliban fighter uses a rocket-launcher to shoot at the Chinook helicopter :)
