From 18 Sqn linebook sometime in the 1990s:

"Fighter evasion with the Chinook? Easy - undo your straps and run up and down the cabin".

Seem to recall the SAAF used slow-jets - Impalas - as dedicated anti-heli interceptors over Angola. Very effectively. Wasn't that also one of the dedicated roles for the German AlphaJets?
