Afghanistan Helicopters


Recommended Posts

It's Canadian Helicopters Limited (CHL) which is sending the aircraft from Edmonton to Afghanistan not CHC.

 

CHC Helicopter Corporation (CHC) is not currently involved in Afghanistan.

 

Not currently involved? Do tell, it has been a long time since CHI/current name has been involved in non-oil operations. Sarajevo was the last UN base if memory serves me correctly. I must say though, it was way more fun with CHI in that neck of the woods than with the military.

Maybe they should fly at night with NVG's

 

 

Unless the bad guys have heat-seeking missles then I would think the hot exhaust against a colder sky would make for a very distinct target

They don't have them............so far.

 

If they ever start using stingers or the like you can bet the civilian helicopter presence will decline over night.

I realize that this was a military machine, but my point is that they are shooting down helicopters in the Stan., not a safe place to be working!

 

RIP fellow aviators
