A British pilot got shot between the eyes as he flew his Chinook helicopter into a firefight in Afghanistan - but he still managed to land safely and rescue all 20 people on board.
Flight Lieutenant Ian Fortune, 28, was sent in to Helmand Province to rescue casualties as a ferocious battle raged between American and Afghan troops and Taliban rebels.

Unreal. Sick that Saudis and UK?USA leftists have islamics flooding into our countries destroying them.
This pilot is a real hero, no question about it.
And its equally true that Christians are fighting and dying against these fanatic vermin while the Saudis and other Islamic governments have not spent one cent, not one life in fighting the same people who are a threat to them.
Yet they take their unexpended funds and use them to pay for anti-western Mosques, madrassehs and imams who spred terror in our midst and agitiate for Sharia Law.
I’m glad the Brits are still growing some like Ian!
Amen X 1,000.
Thank God and the British Government for this man’s skill and bravery. And thank God in His Mercy that this brave pilot will survive to live another day.
The British media proudly write stories about their war heroes.....the US media is silent.
“Yet they take their unexpended funds and use them to pay for anti-western Mosques, madrassehs and imams....”

Whose fault is it when no politician, PUB or RAT, objects to this unrelenting and steady Muslim encroachment on our culture? If the West wants to self-destruct, and it apparently does, there is not much that the rest of us can do anything about except be distressed of the plight of the next generation.
Has anyone asked the obvious question — what could Islam possibly contribute to Western society but its very destruction?
This was his finest hour!
Then I found out he was a brit.
We need more stories like these. Thanks for posting.
So a pilot, named Fortune, flying the oldest but “luckyist” $hithook in the Brit military, take one between the gleemers and still beats it back to base???
I see a book/movie in the future..
When they de-commission that bird, I want a piece of it for a good luck charm..... or the name of the Chaplin that gave the A/C it’s initial Blessing.
