Guys it is being reported that an apache is down in Iraq. News is not clear. Keeping them in your prayers.

Radio says everyone is ok. Apache got back off the ground. Crew alive.

Good to hear, any idea why they had to land?

1. Don't look conspicuous; it draws fire.
2. Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

Apache and a MH-53J went down. Might had been low vis. No casualties on them and the Pave Low is in little pieces now.

Marines lost a 46 from mech problems. 16 reported dead and 12 of them were Limeys. Eyewitness account from another chopper in the formation reported it went in fast.

Marines bet the farm on Osprey and their aicraft are suffering.

RIP!!
