The first vids r from about 100M to the north of the guys in the firefight of the day vid. We assaulted the obj and I took these vids from on top of the house. The vids from the birds are the actual gun came footage from the exact birds that were doin the shooin for us. The building that gets smoked I took a single round from so we called the birds and they came in and did a lil work.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=468)
