Do helicopter pilots carry Night Vision goggles?

Do the chopper pilots carry night vision? Or is that only a myth.

Please answer only if your sure about what your talking about.

yeah, i think so, you can sometimes find them on dead military zombies.

but they are a very rare spawn on them, and good luck killing just the pilot silently ;)

I'm not, but I'll do it anyway.

To be honest, I've never actually "found" NVGs. Don't get me wrong: I've had those before, but I didn't get them from loot-spawns. I always got them from dead bodies or tents. And I'm playing this game actually quite a lot and also since a few weeks (not to say months) now.

I found NVGs at a heli crash site the other day, man if I felt lucky :D
