Default Latest Blackhawks down

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/3273895.stm

Previosly, a thread went into the merits of flying low. Maybe that
works for SA-7s, but flying low puts the choppers in the range of the
RPGs.

The news never states the type of RPG, but if it is the RPG-7, the
range is 300 meters.

Part of the new plan was to fly at night, but given the description of
the witnesses, it seems like this flight was during the day.
