In this episode Lt. Col. Olivia Nunn, USA (Ret.) speaks with retired CW5 Doug Englen, an Army Chinook pilot with more than 2,500 combat missions under his belt. Englen started his career as an enlisted crew chief aboard a Huey in Desert Storm. After leaving the service for a brief period, Englen rejoined and went to flight school as a warrant officer. For the next 21 years, Englen flew with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment and copiloted the first helicopter into Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 attacks.
Englen was chosen by Adm. William McRaven to plan the air component of the mission to capture or kill Osama Bin laden, calling him, "without a doubt, the finest Army aviator of our generation."
