Thanks to a great heads up from WhiskeyMike I shot down to Lydd for 6 CH-47F enroute Ireland via Lydd and Cardiff

Easy 30 flight of six ( the callsigns for 2-6 is assumed as only Easy 30 was heard on comms)

Nice shots Mike

Have you reposted in Friendly Crews section? Great scheme, far easier to read than RAF ones... And full serial! Well done on the data block.

Thanks for sharing Mike

And the excellent heads up- took my youngest lad to Cardiff to watch them land and he proclaimed it was the best day ever when 6 CH-47s went thumping over his head

Brilliant

Thanks for the comments

It was all down to WhiskeyMike really

I think I need all six of them! Slack or what!?

I can't believe people call US Army choppers chocolate mice - they are the real deal in terms of power and boots on the ground etc
