GREAT SHOT!!

The other is cool too!! I wonder what kind of recoil that copter faces when it launches those missles? Does it throw the copter backwards???

i dont think they launch them. What happens is they drop them then the rocket kicks in just above the water

Yeah, I would think it would hav a helluve a recoil if they launched from the helicopter lol.

Plus Id hate to be stuck in the front seats as one might get a little toasty.

That shot is awesome btw

Awesome shot! I've gotten a couple of e-mails like that but it is a plane instead of a chopper.  8)
