Stealth chopper pictures... pieces at least!!

What I find interesting, and crossed my mind the first moment I heard we lost a helicopter was all the people off the first one, plus another individual, plus a pile of files and computer stuff, was loaded onto the second helicopter and that the second helicopter was, one, able to fit all that, and two still able to take off and make it's destination with all the added weight.

[subject to change] I think they said 2 more came in after they turfed one of the first ones.... at least that was the story last week. [/subject to change]

That first concept is basically a cross between the H-60 platform (Black Hawk) and the Comanche (RAH-66). Wouldn't surprise me that much if it's the case.

I hadn't read that, but it'd make a ton of sense, almost too much for government

it's fairly easy to run out of lift.... the Helicopter has to overcome the rate of descent plus it's weight....and you can bet your ass they had those things Pig Heavy with every piece of gear in the world... they re-fuel in flight.. ( that's why the Chinook was there... ( think Double headed crowd killer ))....

Those things must be monstrously huge - One helicopter (it appears) carried 28 Seal team members, pilots, their gear, and all the souvenirs the they found at the compound (after all, they left in two, returned in one)..... on one rotor.
