ChprPlt Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Wow scary. When I was doing ENG I was always worried about that when I was hovering over the hood for extended periods of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, lucky they were just a couple blocks east of VNY airport. News report says they hit the engine, which quit, and LAPD did an auto onto the tarmac. Personally, I would have shot back, preferably with a .50 cal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto-Rotation-Nation Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 If I could only find my cape.... New from Bell Helicopter, It's the Kiowa Enforcer (Available in your departments colors today!) I figure its not too far off from the stereotypical 206b-PD so why not a little "upgrade" just make the game a little more offense based this time around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcliff8e Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Well, its nothing like the 206 except with the way the cabin looks like from the outside, but still, a line of .50 cal across the front of a fleeing car would work everytime, plus with hellfire missles, dont have to worry about baricaded cop killers anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 but still, a line of .50 cal across the front of a fleeing car would work everytime Nope. No need to waste bullets. I prefer to put the line thru the center of the fleeing car as opposed to warning shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hang'em High Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yeah, lucky they were just a couple blocks east of VNY airport. News report says they hit the engine, which quit, and LAPD did an auto onto the tarmac. Personally, I would have shot back, preferably with a .50 cal.Yeah, this isn't the first time. Both LAPD and LASD have been shot at before. LASD took two rounds from a psycho and his .40cal about a year and a half ago. The crew did a precautionary landing because they were not totally sure that they got hit. Sure enough, two bullet holes on the bottom of the aircraft. Orange County Sheriff (CA) took a few rounds from a psycho and his .22LR rifle. The pilot was struck in the foot from the chin bubble. Ouch! On the LAPD one, the engine did NOT quit. The crew just did an emergency landing at VNY and shut the engine down. The bullet did NOT hit the engine. It struck the underside of the fuel tank. The news was wrong (shocking).
