It's funny, if I saw this in a film I'd say the CGI wasn't quite convincing but this is apparently actually what a massive helicopter in a rice field looks like.
Something about this shot specifically though, because other images of the scene don't give me that vibe.
replies:
Those helicopters are ancient, falling apart and are basically flying death traps. The navy has had a really hard time figuring what to replace them with as one of their main uses for the Navy is to tow a sonar array underwater to hunt submarines.

Can't park that here.
Thought this was a Project Zomboid screenshot for a second.
WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELDS, MOTHERFUCKER
Desert Strike on Sega Genesis. Maybe it had DOS port too, but Sega is where I played it.
I hope the farmer was reimbursed. In any case, the rice ruined probably could have kept a starving person alive for another day
I recall hearing a helicopter pilot saying that they felt better flying Marine One because it was specifically capable of water landing and that made them less nervous about where they could put the thing in an emergency.

Why does it say Navy on the side if it’s USMC?
