Little Bird pilot Greg Coker on being shot down in Iraq, Ep. 74

Greg Coker was a AH-6 Little Bird pilot with the Nightstalkers and saw action in Iraq and Afghanistan. This was one wild episode as Greg tells us about how he joined the Infantry and then become a helicopter pilot flying Cobras and Apaches before assessing for the 160th SOAR. After 9/11 he deployed to Afghanistan as a fire support officer and had some hair raising experiences. Then came the invasion of Iraq, where he saw serious action at Haditha dam conducting gun runs for nearly a week straight. Then Greg tells us about how he was shot down in 2004 by a surface to air missile. He recalls every microscopic detail of the 8 second crash. After a Delta operator pulled him out of the crash site, he helped them raid the compound where the missile came from and continued to engage the enemy.
