Good news, and a salute to the Apache crew. Hopefully they killed some bad guys in the process.

That is the second time that has happened in Iraq. It happened while I was there as well. There are special attachments on the side of the Apache to allow them to do this. We did some training with them on this in Germany.

Amazing, thanks for the links, this remember methe Rudels histories in wich he landed his Stuka to rescued downed divebombers pilots, is nice to see that is still possible in our days.
