RAF Chinook pilots regularly did this sort of resupply mission in Bosnia in the 1990s. Bet you have never seen an 11 ton (UK) Chinook crack an egg without spilling the yolk, by dropping a rear wheel on it. That is just class.
Operation Mountain Resolve part 2. No persons were wounded here except one of my sergeants who bummed his knee. 3 MPs an interpreter and the "puc". Person under control. Outstanding PA pilots!
Spoke with my Son who was part of a Seek-n-Destroy Op. camped out near where this picture was taken. An OP @ COP Restrepo in Eastern Afghanistan. A lot of Taliban moving through and hiding there at the time.
This picture has been circulating since the early 70’s
