Yep, a buddy of mine was on that chopper. It was a clearly marked VTARNG Huey on a medevac mission, entirely unrelated to the incident on the Mohawk reservation (Ganienkeh, I think). Was taken down with a Mod 94-type deer rifle. Nobody was hurt, but the chopper was forced to land on tribal land, and there was quite a bit of hoopla over getting it back from the Mohawks.

I believe the whole reservation issue was over tribal sovereignty and what business they could pursue on tribal land.
