Here's a picture I took at the time. The tiny dot in the sky on the right is the helicopter. You can also see a plane coming in on the left.

If the helicopters aren't using explosive rounds, I feel they're just not even really trying. You don't fight fire with water. Everyone knows that. You fight fire with fire. 'Murica!
