Green smoke attracting helicopters? Wait a minute... I have a field and a DIY-shop nearby... hmmm... time for some smoke!  ;D

Green smoke equals free ride?

Might have to try it  ;D

Very nice pictures!

Well, I now know that green smoke means there's a chance a Blackhawk or similar helicopter will be in the immediate area of said smoke fairly soon afterwards.

So does the rest of the world - this is an open forum. And I'm guessing these pics were taken in a hot sandy place in the middle east...

Any pics I show were cleared through operations last year and I haven't given any specifics so there isn't any useful info to jeopardize anyone's safety, I'm smarter than that

(besides that, this was a training op and it takes a little more than smoke to convince a chopper to land in a hot zone, this isn't going to help any insurgents by any means if that was what you were concerned about, they show these scenerios at airshows all the time )

I was more thinking along the lines of knowing a potential target was about to fly in, rather than some nasty chaps trying to coerce the naivest helicopter pilot in the world to land and pick them up with some green smoke...

I figured that's what you meant, rest assured I took it into consideration before posting (as did the operations office when they cleared it before I left) but good looking out on your part  :)  

Posting compromising photos of military on the net drives me crazy,   it's an unnessasary risk of lives, and I couldn't do that to fellow servicemen, I made sure all photos I took were good to go before I left country so I wouldn't be one of those guys  :)

The baddies already know that...  from having watched 'blackhawk down' and 'apocalypse now' on black market DVDs, or because they did the same in 1985-1988.
