jango220 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 On the third attempt, Pedro 84 was just feet from the ground when they started taking fire again, according Major Bryant. At that point, one of the Apaches performed a buttonhook back toward them and began engaging enemy targets. "It split the formation, firing rockets and guns," said Captain Nolting. "It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. It was deconflicted, it was safe, and it was awesome." Hell. F$#king. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stract Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 my favorite quote: Next thing I know, I get thrown on my console," said the flight engineer. "I still didn't know what was going on at that point. But from this vantage point, I could see under my gun, and I could see the muzzle flashes. I remember shaking my head to clear it, and then just a rage of fury came over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Miclhstrase Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 You don't see this shit in the movies. Incredible. The part about the shot through the helmet reminds me of a Vietnam UH-1 pilot that took a round through the helmet by his ear, up and over his head, and out the other side, by his ear.

Murph Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I havent read the misrep/opsums yet so take this question with a grain of salt. But, with all those fires assets on station, why were the Pedros getting lit up so much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
