Mexican Military Helicopter Crosses Into U.S.

While out checking a specific trail today we came across a single I.A. who had been lost in the desert for 3 days.  Unfortunately, this happened during Border Patrol shift change so we knew we would have to sit on him for a few hours.  We left him with the vehicle security members and continued on with the mission.  While patrolling the designated trail, we happened to hear, but not see, a helicopter.  We assumed it was U.S. law enforcement as we had seen one of ours earlier.  However, because our trail was low into the canyon, we could not see it.  After locating our mission objective, we headed back to the vehicles and loaded up to find Border Patrol.  About forty-five minutes later we had 3 B.P. vehicles coming our way.  We turned over the I.A. to them and they asked if we had seen the mexican helicopter that invaded U.S. airspace.  We told them that we heard it but had not seen it.  Apparently they were out looking for it when they rolled up on us. Tally for the day is one lucky I.A. turned over to B.P.  He was no more than a day or two from being toast! Tonight we pull an all nighter!
