This is actually a maneuver gone wrong (cold air, high altitude, angle of the sun, watch-this factor etc)What it SHOULDA looked like, too

I saw a Kiowa do that in Mosul a few years ago. Very effective technique against hajji in the open.

I'm just wondering how many rocks the pilot has to break to cover the Statement of Charges for a helicopter... just sayin, y'know?

I'm glad the Big Guy Upstairs was watching out for the guys on the ground.

Isn't max pecuniary liability one months pay unless negligence is proven? Then the sky's the limit. (less 10%, unless it's brand-spankin'-still-got-the-plastic-it -came-in new) (yes. 35 years later I'm still pissed about a pair of binoclears at Hoenfels.)

Unless they started putting bayonet lugs on the noses of Apaches (or Kiowas), I don't think they need to fly quite that close to the ground to be able to engage targets on either the first, second or subsequent passes.
