If you're flying the heli who took the pic?, you must have huge balls if you took it yourself.

[Cuppa]

huge balls yes! taking the photo myself no

[unwind-protect]

Speaking of huge balls and Apache pilots, did you know that the Apaches are designed with a "jump seat" for use in extremis when a crew position is needed for ferrying a wounded soldier. The position of the jump seat? Outside, on the avionics bay! Army Air Crews - 16OCT04 AH-64 Iraq

If you haven't already read the book Apache by the pilot Ed Macy. Very very good read and gives the pilots version of another rescue mission of the British soldier in great detail.

Dressed to kill is another Apache book written by the first female Apache pilot Charlotte Maddison. She is also the first pilot in history to come back WINCHESTER which means no ammunition remaining on the mission above she fired a total of £1,499,000 of ordinance protecting Lance corporal Mathew Ford.
Both books speak of the rescue mission.

Another book which is a great read is Immidiate response by Major Mark Hammond. Pilot of the chinook.

Read Ed Macy, a brilliant read. I'll look out for the Charlotte Wilson and Mark Hammond books. Thanks.
