I seem to remember that at Gornji Vakuf in Bosnia there was a sizable orchard right next to the the refuel pans that was wired off because of the large amount of TMA-5's fitted with anti-personnel fuses that couldn't be lifted because the tree roots made it too dangerous. We had 6 Lynx and 2 Gazelles based there and used to get the 'Bos Bus' (internal movement flight run using either a Chinook or a Mil-8) in everyday, usually at least twice.

I can't remember them ever setting off the mines in the orchard.
