I was acting as a downed pilot for the Jolly Greens out of NKP in 1973. They were training some new guys on spotting a downed pilot. The CH53 came in to a hover over my position and blew down a 10" branch. that landed next to my head. The exercise almost be came the real thing!. The down draft of a hovering CH53 is around 130 MPH.
