It's nice to see the Crabs trotting out the same old war-cries like 'hot and high' and bleating about lift capacity. The problem with the Chinook is that it takes so bl**dy long for the crew to get the troops on board and stow their kit that you could normally have done the job with a King making a couple of runs!!

Ahhh.....inter-aircraft rivalry, don't you just love it!!

tecumseh - the SK6CR does have an NVG compatible cockpit, but it's been done like the old-style SK4 cockpit with the strip lights and filters. As jockspice mentioned, the undercarriages are locked down, mainly because you'd never get a Jungly to remember to lower it!
