Probably about the death of OBL. You know... when Obama fly's that stealth helicopter into Pakistan at tree top level. Puts it in auto hover over the compound then fast ropes into the courtyard with a 1911 and a kbar in his teeth. Kicks in the front door with his Air Jordans and kills OBL. Then he climbs back up the rope with Bin Laden's body and heads home, making it in time to play 18 on his favorite course....

Wasnt he, at the time, prosecuting the interrogators for waterboarding the terr's who gave up the info on Osama?

It takes a brave man to send other peoples kids into combat. Most of all someone who'd never even worn a Boy Scout uniform.

    Definitely looks like Hollywood's idea of a stealth helicopter.  Plenty of hard edges to get a return on just in the cockpit alone.
Also no gold reflective canopy so the instrument panel and interior isn't very "stealthy".

     Those would also be the biggest pitot static tubes I have ever seen on any aircraft, much less a helo.

     It's been a little while, but I seem to recall that the special ops helicopter that crashed was a modified Blackhawk, this illustration seems to
agree with me.

I also heard from a pretty reliable source that it was a modified Blackhawk

Yep. But hey... he and his wife (oh yeah, kids too) have had one hell of a 4 year vacation.

It looks like a movie prop to me.  The interior of the cockpit seems to have some shovels on the left side.

I believe this is the same hanger the army uses to house the EM-50

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
