Blackhawk Down

I shot down a Blackhawk helicopter and killed off the pilot. Well, my words did, when I was script writer for a series of Special Forces survival videos. On the shoot at Ft. Bragg, NC, when the pilot said he could take two of us up for a real ride, I raised my hand first and furiously.  I knew we were in for a thrill of a lifetime when the co-pilot asked the tower to lift their air restrictions. They did, and we did every maneuver but a full 360 loop. Fortunately the script called for a safe landing this time.

Ellen went home and wrote 3 incredible scripts…some great videos to teach by.
The Special Forces guys LOOOOOVED them!”
