More helicopter shots




More helicopter and landscape shots. Some of the areas around here remind me of home. I was bored one day, so I made a chair. It's amazing what we can do around here with a lot of time a couple of hand tools and scrap wood.

Another day in paradise
















This was one of our typical missions up in the Pech valley, that's me in the front....I love flying doors off, it makes it a little easier to keep cool with the 40 lbs of body armor and survival equipment. (You would think that for $7,000,000 the helicopter would come with air conditioning.)

Cool stuff
















B-1 Bomber......pretty cool. And that's a $100,000 piece of plywood, cause that's how much it cost the Army when it flew up into the rotor system when one of my buddies landed at a small base out in the middle of nowhere. It busted the tips of three blades and ruined the last, so they painted it and put the tail number of the aircraft it damaged on it and hung it up on the wall. We think it was a new weapon designed by Al-Queda........It's a Taliboard.
