Just got back from the preliminary night drill. Everything went 100% perfect!!. We coordinated a rotation so there was never two helicopters in the drop zone at the same time, and practiced who communicates what to whom, it all worked. It's really much clearer through the NVG's than this picture but I just wanted to see what happens if you take a digital picture through a NVG tube. It was pitch black out. I could have taken a picture of that too. Or you can just close your eyes tight and get the same effect. Everyone did super except one of the pilots, Chris. He did extra super-duper!!!

This explains seeing both copters heading out north over Cowles late yesterday...
Wow, that "close your eyes to get the effect" thing worked. I really did get the feeling of total darkness! It's amazing how you were able to do that over the internet. :-)
Interesting...thanks for the inside info.
By the way, where was this conducted?
Fanita ranch, just north of Santee lakes
