Where was it taken? In a foreign hostile territory, or some domestic
training mission? I'm guessing the later, since I hope to hell you can't
distract the full attention of a couple of helicopters in a combat zone
that easily.

I'm going to guess Iraq. The conversation from the helicopter
includes a message to a controller describing the situation, sort of.
He says they've "got some movement, but that it's not considered
necessary to do anything about it." Then the word get goes out to
other helicopters in the area and they come in and check it out.

Now that you mention it, it was VERY effective as a distraction,
wasn't it.
