um, that should be 72 virgins... :boohoo (correction by Gypsy...bummer...me --> lame)
not that I care or anything, it's just that by having the proper info and knowing the exact number of their expectations, it's easier to destroy their hope.
um, that should be 92 virgins... :boohoo

I do not think that was a UH-60.
Looked like an AC-130 Specter to me.

I concur except for the 2 Rockets !!
I'd say an Apache FO. illuminating the tgt, for an AC-130 and the AH put in a couple of licks for "Giggles and Grins" (NOT LIZZARD SQUIGGLEs !!)

I'm ammending my earlier reply. (Derived from additional input from Air.177!)
It's a combo assault.
A 60's Doorgunner(s) illuminating a Target with their Minis and an Apache or (+ a Bradley) then lighting them up with the 30 + Missles from the AH. The only ??s that I'm noodling on, is what were the last 2. Methinks that they were missles from the AH and that the "edits" to this add to the confusion?!?!

I would say Apache and not a Bradley. The angle the rounds are coming from is well above the target and the rate of fire seems to fast for even HI rate on the M2 (HI rate is 200 RPM) as well as a bit larger. The Bradley has a 25mm auto cannon.
However, it matters not what was putting steel on target, as long as someone was. :D
You can see the Helos pass over (coming from upper left to right) after they make their pass.
Nice shootin Tex....:D
Lt.: Jefferson...you ever wonder what it'd be like to spend a Million dollars ?
Jefferson: What ??!!!
Lt.: Spend a Million G** D*** dollars.
Jefferson: YEAH...I wonder about that all the time.

That makes me smile.
Could it have been an MH-60 DAP ?

I got an email from someone who was there in Mosul when this was filmed. It was indeed a MH-60 DAP from the 160th doing show of force flights.
