I think you are thinking of HAHO ( high altitude- high opening ) used for gliding long distances.

Best description yet of how it went down.
quote
Meanwhile, undeterred Somali pirates went on a hijacking spree, brazenly capturing four more ships and taking over 60 crew members hostage in the Gulf of Aden, the waterway at the center of the world's fight against piracy.
Pirates have vowed to retaliate for five colleagues slain by U.S. and French forces in recent hostage rescues — and the top U.S. military officer said Tuesday he takes those comments seriously.

"colleagues" I love that description.
The Pirates are dirtballs without conscience.
The concept that they were more or less harmless goofballs who would have never hurt anybody but NOW the gloves are off after their "colleagues" were slain is flawed.
They are no more dangerous than they were last week. And no less. But there are a few less out there. The solution is in standing up to them. Not to "scare" them into a different line of work, but to terminate all who attempt. A few armed guys on each commercial vessel would go a long way. Small boats have many tactical disadvantages up against ships. From firing up to difficulty in boarding.

How many of them flying a US flag? As far as I know, this was the first, and probably the only......
If I were in those waters, I'd fly the US flag till I was clear.....
Yeah, the flag idea is a good one. They may be sending out doped up kids, but this is a business. They felt the point of the sword this time. Next time, it might be enough to see a sky full of metal heading ashore. I can guarantee we're flying satellites over them alot more this week.

That's okay according to the Reverend Al Sharpton, these are not pirates, but voluntary black muslim Somali Coast Guard, just defending there coast. Unfortunetly my work computer won't allow me to copy the exact quote. Sharpton is a moron. That's going too far when you defend the terrorists and pirates just because of their race and religion.

How many of them flew an American flag? You can bet your azz, they learned what they get messing with the Usa. Only someone with no fortitude at all gives a husky fvck what some third world punks think.
You fvck with a truck, you get run over. I wouldn't waste good pizz on them if they were on fire. Worthless pieces of cowdung.

I read where someone said (probably Sharpton) that the poor Somalian's were driven to piracy by the wicked people from civilized countries. Sounds like they took up a fatal occupation.
