Death Waits in the Dark!

Had a cool thing happen today. I toured a MH-47G Chinook flown by the 160th Night Stalkers. They are the best of the best Army helicopter pilots who fly dangerous, low, fast, night missions transporting special operations guys. Their motto is, Death Waits in the Dark! Obviously I couldn’t take a picture of the cockpit, but below is a pic of the aircraft.
