I know I read some posts from PPruners there hope all will end well:



KABUL (Reuters) - A search is under way for a civilian helicopter that went missing in bad weather on Saturday while ferrying supplies for foreign forces in southern Afghanistan.

The chartered helicopter was headed from the capital of Kandahar province, Kandahar city, to the neighboring province of Uruzgan when it went missing, a NATO spokesman said in Kabul.

There were no NATO personnel on board.

No further details were immediately available, including the type of helicopter or the number of people on board.

Not good from what I've heard. Sorry.

While mindful of the tragedy which appears, the NATO article refers to a Mi 21, is that a typo?

PS. no, I'm not an anorak... just curious.
