This story sounds a bit too heroic to me. Landing an S-76 in the middle of the night, no NVGs, in a foreign country that they entered illegally, in a backyard of a place they have never been to before, load the ride up possibly over MGW with 10 people, all done by a bunch of retired/semi retired guys?! Sounds like they got lucky if it really happened that way. Might want to leave those kind of missions to be planned and executed by the professionals for next time.
