CC - I doubt people arent interested, I would say the reason for not much discussion is apart from the Pakistani military there are bugger all helicopters there.
I have been talking to friends in Kabul and some of their Mi-8s have gone over to help in the relief efforts, congrats to them
I am surprised how little the civil helo industry has done when it comes to getting helos to the quake area. When we were in Banda Aceh helicopters were coming out of the woodwork, yet 3 weeks after the quake happened all I have seen so far is the two Chinooks sent by the UK
and now some mil helos from the US military
Where are all these operators who were so quick to help in Indonesia.
Just my two cents worth.
