The Peacemaker

Postby Maximus the Destroyer on Sat Nov 22, 2008 11:03 am

Anyone here seen The Peacemaker? If so, can you help me out? I can not for the life of me figure out what helicopters they used to recover the stolen nukes. Anyone here know?

I've seen it, Don't remember the helicopters off hand, I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Thanks for bumping this topic CCM, I had meant to reply, but it slipped my mind.

The "US Air Force attack helicopters" (as they are referred to in the movie) in George Clooney's combat unit are Aérospatiale Dauphin (or the military variant, the AS565 Panther), which although they see combat use in other country's military services, is only used by the United States in the United States Coast Guard as the HH-65 Dolphin.
"Superior training and superior weaponry have, when taken together, a geometric effect on overall military strength. Well-trained, well-equipped troops can stand up to many more times their lesser brethren than linear arithmetic would seem to indicate."
