As Alanm, allthough I thought we had allready deployed the Chinooks to the site between KMC and the Iraqi border by the time war was officially declared.
I know the kite I was supposed to fly on had an aft transmission change before a few of us could join the rest in the desert. SENGO accused us of being cowards and not wanting to leave Al Jubail, but when EFDC had analysed the bits of bearing on the chip plugs they informed him that the gearbox would have failed aproximately 15 - 30 minutes into flight.
