Follow-Up
HC, on Hawks and 92 one can start one engine from bleed air sourced at the other, operating engine ( there is a switch labelled " Crossbleed "). On Hawks, there is also an external air source fitting, thus one can either, start using any standard external air cart, or, yes, connect one Hawk to another for a " buddy-start ", using a long air hose ( one or two per lift company ). Vietnam era pilots will readily understand the Army's focus on not repeating the oft-used expedient of trundling a ni-cad from one Huey to another to get the CA on the road.
PM on the way re ambients.
