Burros, Old Ironsides, USAF Chinooks.
EASY flight of 6 US ARMY Chinooks, B/2-501 GSAB “Burros”. They work with the Old Ironsides
This crew had to make a forced landing due to a hydraulic leak. I managed to track them down with the aid of 360radar and seen them stranded on a hill above Bridgend.
I hiked over to them to take some close ups after having just seen them at Cardiff Wales Airport.
After speaking to the crew they wanted to get off the hill by 'limping' to a nearby airfield. I asked a few local friends for some help and managed to put the crew in touch with a farmer who had a small strip. The helicopter stayed there for a couple of days over the Easter period.
