That pilot gets a gold medal for courage/stupidity.

Hehe... I think it was a "max performance" demo video I presume from/for the military.... I like how the start of the video had the ship all over the place... and I'm thinking... "a helo is going to land on THAT?"

What was so impressive was when they switched to the cockpit camera, and you see how close the superstructure is to the aircraft. If the ship were to suddenly slow, it would get real exciting really quickly!

At the end I kept thinking, "that deck crew better get out there and tie that thing down before it slides off the deck"!
