Real sad.

Rest in peace brave warriors.
God bless you.



Just a question for the Chinook rated crewmen here. Is the 38 combat troops and crew numbers ok for this aircraft in August in that theathre?
I do not pretend to speculate anything since I am not rated on this aircarft and I have no access to the performance charts, but 38 souls onboard plus all the combat equipment on that hot climate seems a really impressive figure for me although as I said, I am not rated on that type.

Very bad news indeed.
