 Army Helo Pilot Flew for 5 Hours Despite Being Shot During ISIS Raid

Business Insider | 18 Aug 2017 | by Paul Szoldra

An Army helicopter pilot kept flying for five hours in support of a Delta Force ground raid into Syria in 2014, even after he was wounded by gunfire during the initial assault, according to new documents released by the Pentagon.

Then-Chief Warrant Officer 4 Michael Siler piloted one of two MH-60L Direct Action Penetrator helicopters (DAPS) on a "mission deep inside enemy territory" during a classified nighttime mission in July 2014.
