Last year I had the privilege of taking a trip to Hunter Army Airfield with Coach Scott Sonnon to teach the TACFIT system to members of the160th SOAR, a.k.a. The Night Stalkers. The 160th is most elite helicopter unit in any military. They have the responsibility of flying the most dangerous missions, often in the middle of the night, which is how they earned the name. When Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers and Delta Force units are on the job, they are often inserted or extracted by the men of the 160th. One of the most famous incidents that the Night Stalkers were involved in was made into a blockbuster movie called “Black Hawk Down.” More recently, they were involved in Operation Neptune Spear which resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden.
