    As an alternative, run the Office 2010 beta, for free!

    Note: It will expire in Oct 2010, but that should give you additional time to find the software you want at the price you want to pay.

    I've been running it since it's release with zero installation or compatibility problems.

    Highly recommended.

    Chopper-Bombing Drone-Killer

    Anybody know the guy who bombed the chopper?

    To answer your question: I don't know the pilot or the WSO.

    But, the guys involved were Cap Richard T. Bennett (pilot) and Capt Daniel B. Bakke (WSO).

    Contrary to your post, this site http://128.121.102.226/aakill.html states it was a Hughes 500 helicopter. Also, this old Skunkworks digest calls it a Hughes 500. http://www.netwrx1.com/skunk-works/v05.n617

    Other sources note the kills was an Mi-24. To that end, the USAF even painted a star indicating the Mi-24 kill on the aircraft: http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/009302.html

    So, I don't think it was an Mi-8, it might be a Hughes 500 (based on the early date of the Skunkworks message), but was most likely an Mi-24 given the USAF star.

    Finally, I can't find any other sources to support the assertion that it was *this* (or any other) Eagle that shot down the lost Predator Reaper.

    Edit: Hacker confirms it was a Hind and discusses below. Thanks!
