Good to hear, any idea why they had to land? 1. Don't look conspicuous; it draws fire. 2. Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you. |

[quote] fire on board, havent heard wheather it was from enemy action or just one of those "spare parts flying in loose formation" shakin loose. ---------- Apache and a MH-53J went down. Might had been low vis. No casualties on them and the Pave Low is in little pieces now. Marines lost a 46 from mech problems. 16 reported dead and 12 of them were Limeys. Eyewitness account from another chopper in the formation reported it went in fast. Marines bet the farm on Osprey and their aicraft are suffering. RIP!! Jack |
