Video: US SOF riding Little Birds - Iraq

Came across this great clip featuring MH-6 Little Birds, flown by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, delivering unspecified 'customers' (most likely Delta Force or SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU)) into an urban area in Iraq. Some amazing flying by the Night Stalker pilots, including landing on a roof top not much bigger than the helicopter's skids. There's little doubt that SOAR pilots are the best there are.

Video : 160th SOAR (Nightstalkers)

Here is a fantastic video featuring the men and machines of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR).



The SOAR, or 'Nightstalkers', are a US Army unit who fly modified Black Hawks, Chinooks, Ah-6 and MH-60 'Little Bird' helicopters in support of US Special Operations Forces such as Delta Force and the 75th Rangers.
