RNLAF Chinook Duo Landing in Oirschot

Post by Redskin301 »

On May 26, two DHC (Defense Helicopter Command) Chinooks of the 298 Squadron of Gilze-Rijen
Air Base trained on the Oirschotse Heide GLV-V. The purpose of this training was to perform duo
landings with the helicopters. People of the Army were present on the ground who played the role
of a training enemy. The load master who also have the role of onboard gunner was supposed to
notice this enemy and he should be able to neutralize the treat with the weapon on the cargo
hatch at the back of the Chinook. In some cases, the landings were aborted because too much
enemy activity was observed from the air. This mission was flown in the evening making the
conditions for a good video ideal due to the soft light of the setting sun. I was therefore pleasantly
surprised that I could capture these actions from a very short distance. Thanks for watching :)
