SOF Pic of the Day: Delta Force, SOAR and Airliners

Not much can be said about today’s “SOF Pic of the Day” other than the fact that you are looking at a “Little Bird” helicopter piloted by the fantastic aviators of the 160th SOAR inserting a DELTA operator on top of an airliner.
The photo was taken by former DELTA operator Sergeant Major (ret) John McPhee, AKA “The Sheriff of Baghdad,” AKA “SHREK.”
MH Little Bird mobility demonstration at SOFIC in Tampa. Hold on tight.
