This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helicopter rescue mission. The pilot is a Pennsylvania National Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on this planet do 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? If this does not impress you ... nothing probably ever will. Can you imagine the nerve, talent and ability evidenced here.

what is even more impressive is that the back gate on a chinook or sea knight drops down to allow boarding, making this maneuver that much more dangerous...So he has to allow a few extra feet for the to drop down and maintain a steady hovering position as not to jam the gate back up into the chopper.....Great photo Spark!
