Bags not cleaning it up!

Did they roll it out the back of a C130 or drop it from an Iroquois?

Iroquois... given the state of things it's difficult to ascertain wether it was planned - or not...

I was having an interesting chat today with an ex helicopter pilot about carrying swing loads. He had some interesting stories about guys carrying over weight loads, or hitting the release button instead of the com's button on the stick.........

thanks - I suspect there's one but not a very good shot (I was pretty busy shooting aircraft)
There's a nice one of the Van swinging under the Iroquois that I'll post when I get home.

As part of our local Airforce open-day on Saturday, one of the flying displays was of the remaining Iroquouis (that are serviceable) doing various tasks: fetching things, carrying things, dropping things... ;)
