Believe it or not they used these things as training events. They practice what is called "time over target". Give them an exact time and we would be on it +/- very few seconds.
It takes a lot of coordination and skill to fly these missions. Also they were flying in 1 rotor width apart. For the Blackhawks that's about 40ft, the Chinooks about 60ft. That is a needle that no mistakes can be made. Not to mention the ATC and flight path through that part of NY & NJ.

I see that the Shithook (that's Chinook to you non military types) hasn't changed any in the last 40 years or so...

nope just avionics, engines, transmissions and c box upgrades. Uses much less hydro fluids. No need to keep a 50gal drum on board

I'm sure that was awesome for the crews.
But seriously, 240p? FFS though, how can one of those crew guys not have a gopro?
