Navy hoist work  

I too hate to criticize the Navy pilot on that hoist, however I second the suggestion 

that the Coast Guard would be a much better choice. Several years ago while working

as an SAR pilot in the west coast, my agency hired a former CG pilot who trained us

in hoisting over water. His goal was to bring our unit skills up the standards  he was used

to in his Coast Guard experience.

He shared the tips and techniques that were developed over decades of hoist work, and

made a fantastic improvement in our performance 

.Perhaps someone at the top end of the Navy food chain should look into some similar

training for their folks.
