12 JAN 1968: 4 N Vietnamese AN-2 “Colt” biplanes, modified to drop bombs, flew into Laos headed to a US radar facility providing critical guidance to US warplanes flying strike missions in N Vietnam. By chance, an unarmed CIA UH-1D “Huey” helicopter approached site at same time.

Huey gave chase w flight mechanic firing AK-47 @ Colts. After 20-minute pursuit, Colt crashed. Huey’s 2-man crew earned distinction of having shot down enemy fixed-wing aircraft from a helicopter—a one-of-a-kind victory. The throttle came from wreckage. http://1.usa.gov/1rSpktZ pic.twitter.com/knoJQ7Yecc

That's funny as hell. In 1990 we're still shooting film I got a set of Prints back from a business trip to Chicago, then cluded sightseeing from Sears Tower. Upon p/u told the guy something's wrong. You print this backwards. How do you know? Lake Michigan should be on the right

Isn't there something that needs investigating? Like the Russians that continue to attack our country and it's citizens through social media and other cyber crimes?

This looks more like that ''fig-a-ma-jig" they strap to your balls! Wait, wrong feed... But, you put a battery on that and you might have yourself a new use for that throttle.

Very cool news. Thanks for sharing. God bless you. If you have time please investigate that's new technology our enemies has developed and using at South China Sea. They are planning to use enemy vessels to use as weapons or target our ships during war. Now are testing it.
