Not me, not after what happend to that Chinook gunner in Afghanistan, yikes.
Well if you love flying and crew helcipters like myself, its a risk that is not that bad to take.
Speaking of aircraft crashes though, my buddy was on the Chinook that got taken down in Iraq that was ferrying people to go home on R&R.

That sucks what happened,
Iraq is a real mess right now and I am just stunned by the fact that now talks about a withdrawl coming soon.
It was hit by a SA-7 missle.

Was an Iraqi soldier or some terrorist?because thats some pretty extravogant hardware.
It was after the fall of the Iraqi Army.
Got knews for you buddy but the Insurgeants in Iraq are using SA-7, SA-14, and SA-16 and the SA-7 is far from extravagant as you call. My Blackhawk has about a 90% to 95% chance of evading a SA-7. It really is nothing, it is very old and not very reliable.
