Two Helicopters?

Posted by io007a

I love this film, however...When they're being taken across the border at the beginning there are two helicopters but the whole team are in just one. Wouldn't they just have the one helicopter seeing as they are supposedly on a covert mission? Any forces guys know any reason why the other one is there?

Typical helicopter insertion. The "Hog" (gunship) flys high cover for the "Slick" (troop carrier). You can see it during the flight sequence of the film. In the hover scene the door gunner on the hog is watching over the the slick & ready to fire the mini gun as they drop in. Tactics learned in 'Nam.

But would an armoured helicopter require that much protection when simply deploying troops by zipline where there are no sign of hostiles?

I'd like to live forever but only for a little while
