Any photos of these RPG hits?


Here is what a Chinook looks like when it gets hit by one!

The aircraft was in the process of recovering a downed Army Cobra when it got hit by the RPG as it was just above translational lift speed on takeoff. The aircraft made a forced landing, the FE was killed, the other four crewmembers were wounded by ground fire after landing.

The photo is taken looking aft from the front of the cabin. The RPG entered from the right and below and departed through the small hole it made on the left side of the aircraft....the one the guys are standing by.
