Chopper Co-pilot hero

[Swimmer]

I know this should be in the SCUPPERS but I think everyone should have the oportunity to find out about this. In the Boston Herald this morning a story was posted and a Blackhawk helicopter co-pilot who gave up his seat (there is only two) for a severely injured soldier and the co-pilot then strapped/harnessed himself to the helicopter somehow for the ride to a medical unit. This was a blackhawk chopper, not a medivac chopper. Blackhawks only have two seats right. Strapping yourself to the side of your ride so an injured soldier gets medical help reserves a special place in heaven I think.
