I just wonder if anyone did a C-of-G calculation beforehand? I can see it now..

I wanted to post this in a new thread but I don't have the privilige to do that.

Helicopter shot down in Somalia

A helicopter has been shot down in the Somali capital, as Ethiopian and Somali government troops battle to clear insurgents from Mogadishu. "The helicopter looked like a ball of smoke and fire before crashing," Ruqiya Shafi Muhyadin told AP news agency as it crashed in an area near the airport. Correspondents say the Ethiopian helicopter was hit by a missile as it bombed positions held by insurgents.

Dozens of people died in heavy fighting on Thursday, ending a six-day truce. Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Ghedi insists the operation will continue, as it is aimed at restoring stability to the city, which has been wracked by conflict for 16 years.

The BBC website (BBC NEWS | Africa | Helicopter shot down in Somalia) shows a picture of a Mi-24 gunship but I wonder if it really was one.

What do you mean you can not post new threads. You can do that, any member can post new threads.

Civettone, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Hmm let me look into this because you should be able to start your own threads.

Not in the news section. This section is supposed to be kind of site and earth shattering news. This item could have gone in the modern or sit-rep areas.

Thanks for clearing that up, Evangilder!
