HD - Kiowa Helicopter Pilots in Afghanistan Skies Protecting Roads from IEDs

[Metalhead852]

The Kiowa can shoot more than just 2.75" rockets and .50cal. It also can carry Hellfires, ATAS, and they shoot their M4's out of the cockpit when required.



[msnpassjan2004]

Seems like every military helicopter I've seen flies with two people in the cockpit. Do Kiowa's fly with just one person?

[MikeyV3D200]

@msnpassjan2004 no but they used too lol.

.50 and rocket pods

[dalrymple720]

@rogert789 you dont need 20/20 you need 20/50 so you still may be able to do it.. but there is much more to it then eye sight your packet needs to be perfect you have to go infront of a board get 3 letters of rec. and more so good luck
