Just a quick correction to the Hind’s participation.
The scenario as per the organizers request was that the Hind approach from show right to show left at low level, initiate a 180 deg turn to port, fly show left to show right at low level, drop the gear, another 180 to port, land at the taxiway intersection, the “insurgents” on board, led by a young female airman jumped out and proceeded to run toward the show line to take cover just off the active.
This was the “attack” part on the airfield.
Unfortunately unless you were stood in front of the large monitor you probably didn’t/couldn’t see that part, or where the Humvees pulled up to oppose them.
The feedback from the spectators to the organizers thence back to the folks involved was extremely positive for all involved.
