#7  From that old Burger King commercial: " It takes two hands to handle a chopper."

#6  Reminded me of the science fiction TV series "Firefly" The Train Job (TV Episode 2002). Loved that show.

#5  Tom Clancy to the white courtesy phone, Tom Clancy please.


I always figured that the way to assault a moving train involved a lot of explosives.

#4  Try a night maritime extraction paddling a fully loaded RB-15, with prop-wash from a CH-47 pushing you away from the ramp. Makes for a very interesting evening.

I'm fine with never riding another helicopter.

#2  What I find awesome is the legendary skill of those Nightstalkers. Flying sideways, at just that height, syncing with the men like that ... man !

I tried flying a chopper once. It was a light recon bird. I almost landed it sideways.
