Narrative:
Helicopter dispatched and acknowledged by nellis AFB to the alamo area to look for fire smoke. At approximately XA10 hours the passenger in the right seat saw the shadow of a very fast moving plane approaching from the southeast. At that time the pilot and front passenger saw a military plane make a very sharp power turn from the east to the south, then very quickly was gone. I believe the military pilot saw the helicopter and deliberately ran at it. There was no time to do anything. The plane appeared to be an F-15 jet, very fast moving.
