This is a way of Apache two man crews to rescue stranded soldiers. This is part of their training - the gunner sits outside while the rescued soldier gets to sit inside. Then they fly low speed. low altitude to the base. I saw it on CNN once, they did in in Afghanistan after a Blackhawk crash.

    I'm not saying it is fake, but for some reason, it looks fake. The lighting and focus of the apache relative to the soldier look off.
