Hey guys,
Had some great fun this past Sunday and I thought I'd share it with the group.
My two nephews are active "paintballers." Their club had a big meet Sunday.
Well.. since my B-2B is an Army imposter, he thought it would be wayyy cooool if I flew him in "Air Assault Style." He had his camo clothes on, his gun loaded, and his adrenaline pumped up.
We flew over a few days before to recon the LZ, pick our approach & departure paths, check for hazards, and put the waypoint in the GPS.
On Sunday we approached low over the trees (contour flight) and made a fairly aggressive approach to the ground. He jumped out and began shooting at the enemy just as I departed.
After hiding away for awhile, I came back in and landed & shutdown. They all gathered around the helicopter for a photo op.
It was just like your Army fantasies when you were a kid!!!!
I'll try to get their photo & post it here later.
