Times When You Just Have To Trust The Pilot....Good thing the passengers can't see out the front of the plane!!



1. Tioman Island , off the coast of Malaysia








2. Wake Island, Pacific Ocean







3. Macao International Airport





4. Kuujjuaraapik , Quebec !

Now while the above 4 places represent some of the most difficult places for aircraft to

land and take off from, none comes close to this last photo.

You can't add anything else to this... as the picture is worth 10,000 words!
If you don't think our US Military pilots earn their pay, you need to take
a look at this picture.




This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission.
The pilot is a PA National Guard member who flies EMS choppers in civilian life.

Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the ass-end of a
chopper down on the roof top of a shack (with little weight so as not to cave the roof in), on a steep mountain cliff, probably under
enemy fire, and hold it there while US Soldiers load wounded men in the rear?

If this does not impress you... nothing ever will..

God Bless the men and women in our military!
GOD BLESS THE USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
