I’m just amazed that a lot of aircraft were captured, I was half expecting crews and families departing country in the Blackhawks etc, I see one country got three aircraft and a hundred plus people, so I take it that was the Hercs or some of them.
Some of the aircraft were not airworthy as seen in the films, but why they never disabled the rest is beyond me, shoot seven shades of sh*t out of them, fire a flare into the interior or a grenade, heck take a fire axe to the panel or canopy.
Even chuck a hand full of bolts down the engines when running, having tried to destroy Avon engines with sledges, saws etc I realise how difficult large lumps are.
