Description:
This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission.
The pilot is a PA National Guard pilot who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the ass end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack, on a steep mountain cliff, and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear.

Reminds me of that famous shot of a Huey on the embassy in Saigon. <br /><br />Here's a companion video that I happened on this morning: https://<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YqqKe1AxfHk">www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YqqKe1AxfH<br>k</a><br /><br />(If you're incredibly impatient, skip to second 47.)

It's a great photo, and a great piece of flying; but it does make me wonder if that was the most <br />appropriate helicopter for the mission?

As an old SecDef once said; 'you don't go with what you want, you go with what you have.'
