Keigmeister Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I saw it flying from the direction of the Creg over Groudle about 5.30. Was weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Peters Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Did some filming in one of those in Kosovo in 1999 (more hair and it was only a bit grey then...) Awesome machines. They have a self-starter which (IIRC) is hydraulic and needs pumping up at the rear of the cabin before it can take off and dodge bullets.

%age Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yep, I was thrown out the back of one of those on a few occasions (with a parachute I hasten to add). That always kinda took the pleasure away from the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
