Apparently there is a large training exercise going on with the SAAF at Mfuwe. Choper and Hercs all over the place. It has turned into an operation to deliver maize to NE province.
I have asked my local company for info.

My aircrew based at Mfuwe advised that the chopper was landing and blew up such a dust storm the pilot decided to go around. In the poor vis his tail rotor hit a tree and he hit the deck. Sorry no other detailed info about the crew or injuries.
