Ht: An email from Tiger:
If you don't think our military pilots earn their pay ... you need to take a look at this picture ... and then look again and realize what you're seeing ..
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 rear 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. Gives me the chills and a serious case of the vertigo ... I can't even imagine having the nerve ... much less the talent and ability ... God Bless our military!!!!!

Thank you for showing me this. This is inspiring. Great phtograph. Should brighten anyone*s day. = TG
Makes me feel a lot better about who's flying those EMS choppers too eh? That's an impressive op there. Goddamn, those guys have GUTS.
And think of the load master sitting on the tailgate there. He has to trust the pilot to pull this stunt off while he's dangling out the back end of the thing!
FYI they're loading prisoners, not wounded. But yeah, it's an amazing feat.
Thanks for the link lls from scv. I didn't think about checking snopes.
