Wasn't there a video of the taliban in Afghanistan doing this after the American withdrawl? They got a Blackhawk helicopter to go up and then come crashing down killing everyone on board.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxfokYxu8uA news report with a small clip of it.

This could have been incompetence, or sabotage before it was left behind.

This is the sequel to that movie, Up in the Air… Until Not, I think it was called.

I don't know anything about piloting helicopters, but I do know that they are apparently more terrifying to fly rather than to sit in.

This guy doesn't look nearly terrified enough

My brother used to fly single engine airplanes, and I flew with him a number of times.

About all I know about helicopters is that they require a lot more maintenance than airplanes, and airplanes require a decent amount to remain safely airworthy.

I wanna follow the progress

That helicopter will be killing more Syrian rebels than anyone else.
