According to Snopes this is a picture of a Chinook picking up some prisoners
in Afghanistan.

Is this how pilots get "0.5" in the "Landing, Day" category? :)

True, Denny, but you know what? It's just "goin' to work" for those guys.
Military helo pilots learn some terrible things about exactly what their
craft can do. Bless 'em all.

I was told about a few ridge landings like that during the Vietnam
Conflict.. UH-1s sitting with one skid on the crest of a ridge line and the
other hanging in space.. while the platoon bailed or boarded.. always
adjusting the balance to the changing weight and CG load.

Drop the "conflict". It was a war. Don't let anyone tell you different.
