The crew of the helicopter that was shot at must know the exact location in a small radius. Residents must be elated now being locked down and searching the area for the perp who fired. Surely, someone must of heard the shot fired. Will be interesting to hear what unfolds about this.

I am assuming this is like a support vehicle, and not Marine One.

Absolutely the wrong guys to piss off. They said it took one bullet, but I wonder how many were fired? At 1000ft, and moving, it wasn't a 9mm.

Pretty sad if that's the case. There are parents and children related to these men and women. No matter what President they serve, they're still American soldiers.

F'k the media! There was a blip on Fox News about the 5yo white boy shot and killed by a nutcase that happened to be black...no other news carried it. If the colors were changed, the shooter would have been labled a Trump supporter, and on every channel.

It happened yesterday.

Despite the rather sensational title to this thread, the Helo in question was on a training mission and wasn't carrying any VIP from what I can gather.

The article comes from a selfproclaimed "entertainment blog". The president was never going to fly in the helicopter that was shot at.
Firing upon a fed. Gov helo isn’t going to end well, regardless of who was or was not in it.

Not to thread jack, but the lack of media on this is zero surprise. It actually got more coverage than any killing or shooting in the last week
Did you guys know that the worst mass shooting of the year happened Sunday in DC? No?

Two of my favorite birds! many many hours in the front seat of Cobras, and Huey Crew chief. :)
LOVE the hueys. Still get to ride on one fairly frequently. 👍

That is some new information that is pretty cool. The President was not historically allowed to fly in MV-22's (Ospreys), just the VH3's (Sea Kings) and VH60's (Whitehawks). Only secret service, support staff and media could fly on the green top MV-22's.

In the event of engine failure, Osprey's have limited options, hence the nickname the widow maker.

Maybe it has changed and you have seen a white top MV-22?

Obama flew once in them too
From LAX to West LA

They fly 3 identical green/white tops at a time whichever craft they use
