Impressive Helo Landing Pad

October 19, 2006

We still have heroes. Thank goodness.

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 ...

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.

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!!!!!
