Flying in the Chinook over Afghanistan

Yesterday was an exciting day,  flying in the Chinook!  The Chinook is used for inserting troops into fire bases and bringing food, water, and ammunition. It is also the casualty evacuation (casevac) aircraft of choice in the British Army. The Chinook is an excellent mode of travel and is particularly useful in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan where high altitudes and temperatures can be extreme.

Flying in this dual rotored aircraft was amazing and the view of the Afghanistan countryside is breath taking to say the least.
