[attachment 35316 Copyofunknown.jpg]OK, a different kind of treasure, I've added this one to my aviation photo file. Hope my second ever attempt at posting a photo works; if not, bear with me, I'll try again.
This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the ass end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear??? If this does not impress you ... nothing ever will. Obviously, total trust between pilot and the load master back at the ramp !
