Deliverance

The bird that came to fly me back to my FOB-- it was delivering a few guys and a generator from BAF. It was almost full but they let me on!



The cushion of air that these things create with their dual rotors is impressive. It pushes you around and throws up heat, rocks and sand.

Well, I guess you had to ride on them anyway. Thank God they are way past the "A" model!!!

It is mostly Chinooks here, unless you are a Lt Col or above or on a medevac. I actually like riding in the Chinooks-- they are more heavily armed than the Blackhawks!
