I remember being over a very long firefight in NE Afghanistan a few years ago, doing the coordination and hand off to a pair of AH-64's on a TIC we were working, trying to clear a path for some medevac helos. We were requested to stay on station until bingo for support (no kidding bingo to pavement, not a tanker), and I watched as they unleashed a volley of death that was just awesome. Over and over again. I was sitting in an F-18 looking down, thinking "I'm in the wrong airframe right now."
