Sniper in Black Chopper?

In the open door? Not sure. That is the Co-pilot position. Not sure what your pointing out in the bird. It is a Bell Jet Ranger (civilian) or, (military) an OH-58. I know it is not a D model as it does not have a Mast Mounted sight. (It would look like a beach ball ontop of the rotors.) The dark green paint that we use really appears "black" I will agree, but at night, they disappear. Iv'e seen newer CH-47s. (F models??) that are lighter in color. They look like Viet-Nam paints as they appear "faded". I watch them come in all night as they stand out.
