Have you seen the video of a couple of SAS fellows who clung to the stub
wing of a AH64 to perform a rescue ?


Royal Marines from 45 Commando, not SAS. Two Apaches flew four booties
back into Jugroom Fort in Helmand Province, Afghanistan to retrieve a
badly wounded bootneck after an attack was repulsed: unfortunately,
despite the expenditure of many munitions and more courage, Marine Matty
Ford died of his injuries.


My mistake, thanks for the correction.
