In this episode, we go cockpit-side with Army attack helicopter pilot Dan McClinton, who’s seen—and delivered—hell from above. From 76-rocket payloads and 30mm cannon bursts to the one time he smoked a trench line full of enemy fighters with flechettes—this is combat aviation the way it really went down.

He walks us through his first kill, the most surreal moment of being shot at for real, and the devastating shootdown that took out two of his own. This isn't Call of Duty—it’s war, up close and personal.
