Chinook Pilot takes a headshot... then flies the thing home
Watch as the British pilot (Flight Lieutenant Ian Fortune) of this Chinook takes multiple hits, including a glancing shot to his own head, on a troop extraction run in Afghanistan. This is the definition of a hero.
The Chinook took multiple hits severing a hydraulic line, raking the fuselage and windshield with rounds.
Watch as the pilot takes a glancing ricochet to his left temple and manages to keep his wits about him, saying "Ok chaps, just to let you know I took a round through my front windscreen which came up and hit me on the head." Even the Sun reporter does well to keep his composure during the report, as he himself is faced with the very real possibility of a crash and death.
