Cool video! I remember seeing those helicopters in Baghdad. They were part of some kind of security contracting firm over there; I don’t recall the name. They almost got shot down when the UN building got blown up in 2003. They were flying above the blown up building and none of the Joes on the ground knew who or what they were doing there, so we assumed them to be bad guys. I wonder if they ever knew if how close they came to having a really bad day?
