Isn't that the same video that was shot from an Apache at least a year ago? Doesn't look like it could be from a fixed-wing aircraft.

Yup. Same one. This is an attack helicopter engaging 'insurgents' on the ground.

I think you are right about that.....can't be fixed wing and I saw this about a year ago. C130 couldn't hang around that long...sorry I can't provide details about surveillance, etc.

I agree. The 130 can't hover and wouldn't be that low to begin with. It would be circling about a mile overhead.

It's the Same video. It was first posted on FR in 2003. Jeff Head posted it again 12/1/05.

Yes it is. More like two years ago. At least it's the long version of the Apache Video.

The guys probably weren't setting up an IED, but rather transferring something like an RPG or ManPad SAM. One of the guys is shown trying to get it into action just as the gunner shifts targets from another guy to him. He never gets it, or anything else, into action, ever again.
