Helicopter to Afghan-Pak border

I took a day trip with the military today to the Afghan-Pakistan border. I'm riding in a Chinook, one of those huge double rotar helos that can carry about 35 people at once. They keep the back open with a gunner looking out. There's also two gunners on the side up front. Out the back you can see two Blackhawk helicopters, one of them carrying Maj. Gen. David Rodriguez, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
