I think this is quite astounding to watch and it's a tribute to the fantastic abilities our military men and women possess. Takes a lot of skill to do this because it looks like it takes very precision flying and precision in all detail of the operation.

This is a helicopter retrieving some Navy Seals from the water.

Imagine landing the helicopter on the water then holding it steady in the waves, opening the door and allowing only so much water to enter the rear of the chopper. Very precision timing. Very precision flying.

Hats off to these guys.
