The MHS S61N crew have been camping in the TNI (Indonesian Armed Forces) Hangar underneath the remains of a Hawk (?) Jet. Morning abolutions take place in a tented arrangement shared with all the TNI soldiers and leave a lot to be desired to say the least. The flying can be very frustrating with tasking snafus, fuelling delays, landing site closures due to VIP sightseeing trips, but these guys are still smiling. They represent the very best in the helicopter community and deserve every tribute.
