Wonder if that is his own personal helicopter? The Airbus H-125 (formerly known as the AS-350 B3 and roughly the same dimensions as a Bell 407) has some phenomenal performance. Here is a list of some its high altitude records:

On 14 May 2005, an AS350 B3 piloted by Eurocopter test pilot Didier Delsalle touched down on the top of Mount Everest, at 8,848 m (29,030 ft),[15][16][17] a record that has been confirmed by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.[18]

On 29 April 2010, a stripped-down AS350 B3 rescued three Spanish alpinists, one at a time, from the slopes of Annapurna I, Nepal at an altitude of 6,900 m (22,640 ft); this set a new record for the highest such rescue.[19] The record was increased to 7,800 m (25,590 ft), during the rescue of Sudarshan Gautam between Camps III & IV in Everest's Yellow Band on the morning of 20 May 2013.[20][21][22][23]

And the navy recruiter will tell them "sure".
"It says here you qualify for CS. That's a great start. Before you know it, you'll use TA, get accepted into STA-21, and then you'll be flying A-10s in, oh, I don't know, maybe 4-6 years from now?"

I keeeed I keeeeed. ?

I like top gun don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the wave of Jett pilot wannabes who flood ocs/flight school / the fleet who have the largest egos thinking they are going to be the next Pete mitchell

I hope so, I took a film class and like this group of dudes were talking about how they were gonna try to fly in the navy and be like maverick and I know 3 of them sell oxycodone etc…. Wouldn’t want to see any of them in the wardroom or even in the enlisted mess.

Just because there is an increased interest doesn't mean there's a decrease in standards.
