....this is what the Blog notes say about the photo's .....
On the 31st of October a Dutch Chinook was flying thru the mountains of Afghanistan and experienced a loss of engine power at 15000ft. The Hook crashed into a mountain bowl located some 20nm north of Baghram. Big Windy was called upon to extract the survivors. Two Chinooks and a Blackhawk were sent up into the mountains to pull them out. No one was killed in the crash but with at least 3 hurt and night fall only hours away the situation would soon turn deadly if the Dutch were not pulled out before dark. Long story short BW went up the hill snatched them off and returned them to Kabul. Here are some photos of the landing site. Pics
