For the ones that are scratching your heads...a black hawk is an attack helicopter...see "Black Hawk Down"

Anyway. Today we did some drills and i finally got to pilot that legendary bird. Ok...so I got to ride in one during basic training. And i think i was in one while i was out in the giant sandbox called the middle east...but...I GOt to FLY it! w00t...a Pilots license r0xx0rz!


In other words...people at the base have been praying alot more than usual...odd eh?

Be VERY careful though mate. I've seen young lads with those things near electrical pylons and I'm told if you get too close with the 'copter, the electricity voltage can reach all the way down to the remote control you're holding. Now, we dont want you loggin in with a black face and all your hair standin on up now do we? ;)
