U.S. MILITARY AT ITS BEST

[Tony Tassillo]

If you don't think our military pilots earn their pay ... you need to take

a look at this picture ... and then look again and realize what you're

seeing ..





[Broken External Image]:





This photo was taken by my buddy in Afghanistan of a halo rescue mission.

The pilot is a PA Guard guy 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??? If this

does not impress you ... nothing ever will. Gives me the chills and a

serious case of the vertigo ... I can't even imagine having the nerve ..

much less the talent and ability ... God Bless our military!!!!!

 

[Tommy VanNess]

Bad ass pilot. I have always been impressed by our military's talent and courage. Thank you and bless you all.

 

[Chet 02]

That's amazing!!! I just kinda stole the picture from you to use as my wallpaper.

 

[Larry Phillips]

That's impressive!

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

That is incredible flying, and not paid enough.

MPT, yep, you are correct! Having served in Viet Nam, I know first hand what those pilots do every day in and out of combat. I had this lust to want to always learn to fly oe of those helicopters or fighter jets , but never had the nerve to join up with the Air Force because I have always had a phobia about height and flying. BUT, they have nerves of steel and are true heroes, as well as all active and inactive military personnel and those who died and who are retired or just ended their military obligations!. You as well, MPT! Thanks for a great shot of heroism!

my buddy was there in another CH-47 Chinook and took the pic out of the window. sent it to me cause i have been there.... right where they stand doing the exact same thing. thats the only place they can "LAND" to get casualties and prisoners out. As an M.P. (Military Policeman) i see alot of cool stuff but he just happened to have his camera on him at the time.

 

[EddieS'04]

Same as mrmarvyn, I also served in vietnam. I was always amazed at the talent and heroics of our chopper pilots. God blesss the door gunners also..

 

[Matthew Pickwell]

I got this same picture about month and half ago. I thought it was cool then.

 

[Frank Marano]

:blink:Matt, I was thinking the same thing. I also saw it on car audio forum I frequent about a month ago.....weird

I was just at the Key West Coast Guard base on Monday

and a seeman had that pic on his laptop as backroand.

First thought is...When has the USA Armed Forces not at their best? Impressive...HELLA YEAH!!! but, when have they not been???



Nam Huey jockeys were the **** and NOTHING has been lost. Passed on, BUT, NOT LOST...Even though the heliocopters really shouldn't fly, they do and those who fly them...Git-Er_Done...One way or another.



God Bless the Forces and ALL who are giving the GREATEST sacrifice to be givien!!!!!!!!!!



THANKS,

Dave

Military pilots are very skilled. Some of the planes come back with parts of wings missing and they still manage to get them home. What is more amazing is that some planes like the B-52 and A-10 may have been flown by their grandfathers.

 

[Bill V]

Looks like the force field generator protecting the Death Star on Endor. That pilot better watch out for Ewoks!

 

[Mike Wilson]

A Submarine that can Fly!!!

Sorry, that was my initail thought of what the helo looked like!

That is what makes me PROUD to be a tax-paying American Citizen.

God Bless Them All, each and every one, and come back home, safe!!!:wub::wub::wub:

 

[Daniel Park 2]

whats the thing going inside the heli? looks like some sort of animal with a tail.

 

[Mike Wilson]

Yes, now that you mention it, Karma, it kind of looks like a Dark Purple Teletubbie!!!

(I have grandkids living at home with me, so I was kind of quick to identify with that)!



:lol:

 

[Daniel Park 2]

teletubbie! please rescue them all.

 

[Mike Wilson]

Karma,

Did you mean rescue the Teletubbies, or the poor soldiers that had to go through the

traumatic experience of having seen one!?!?



I'm praying for the soldiers!
