At BZN in the mid 90s there was a display arranged for the RAF Aux Regiment, a mock attack involving Chinook, Herk, Wessex and a few Gunners. There was a nice row of 12 man tents for all the expected VIPs connected with one side rolled up, all went well during the practice until the Chinook turned up and the tents took off like Mary Poppins brolly. All went well on the big day except for the pucker factor when the Wessex landed and rolled much further than before, still it stopped before it got us

Soon after we were at Waddington doing the ground assault for the Air Day, that went much better even though the Jet Ranger doing pleasure flights decided to land right in the middle of us, I guess DPM does work! Never did like helicopters after that Always wondered if anyone got a good photo of it and whether the pilot got in the poo?
