Conflicted Air Space.

If you look carefully at the photo above you can see a rocket passing underneath a Puma Helicopter.

That is the ultimate in conflicted airspace.

I remember talking to a pilot years couple years ago and I asked what's he most worried about when it came to supporting us and he told me (paraphrasing)....

I'm not worried about the bad guys...we train to fight them...if we have a general location we can beat them or avoid them...what we're worried about is what you guys are doing.  Have you called in artillery...are you firing mortars?  

In retrospect, and I really didn't catch it the time, but he was basically saying that golden bb's coming from the blue force could be a bigger concern than enemy action.

All this has me wondering.  Have we lost helos in a conflicted battlespace?
