My father was apart of this mission he was one of the medivac pilots. When he came home on R&R I interviewed him and then wrote a report on and turned it into a contest and it won for the school district and it won the award of Most inspiring essay. I love my dad very much and im proud to call him my father. God bless all those soldiers who helped that day and God bless all the soldiers that died.

This video also doesn't show where they accidently drop one of the KIA's out of the bird. It took my platoon 12 hours to recover the fallen soldier. This was a sloppy medevac.

@xsoundxwavex if you notice in the top left hand side of the screen you'll see the word "TADS", this the viewing system used in an AH-64 apache. And just to let you know, apaches do not always accompany medevac birds. It depends on the nine-line dropped.

I was there. Ambush started around 3pm, we didn't lifted out until about 9 or 10 pm that night. Thanks to the flight crews and medics.

@xsoundxwavex As i replied, i'm an idiot.I forgot that Apaches always acompanie DUSTOFF blackhawks.

[xsoundxwavex]

@OsakaUE they wouldnt use an ac130 for this those are for taking out big things they are in a medevac chopper hovering above the accident most of the cameras are the same with thermal control becuase they have good range and good scales. but this is most likely from a medevac chopper and not a uav or ac130

[OsakaUE]

Nevermind, i'm a fucking idiot.I just realized it was probably taken from another helicopter since apaches always acompanie DUSTOFF medevacs.

[OsakaUE]

@xsoundxwavex No, but i'm guessing the video was either taken from AC130, UAV, or a helicopter, I was just wondering.And how exactly do you know it wasn't?You aren't the uploader.

[xsoundxwavex]

@OsakaUE no lemme guess ur a cod player?
