Thought I'd share these B & W Album pics
SASR Training on rappelling on good old Indian hemp lines. Nothing synthetic in them old days! I always thought that the RAAF egg beaters were too scared to land on a hostile LZ so alternative ways were invented to land them 10 ks away. LOL Gordy :ph34r: Attached Image ![]() |

Again, on extraction take off after a hike of 15ks to a safe LZ pickup point.

A third prequel shot, noting no trees to tangle with the rotor blades of A2-507.
Mind you, you'd feel rather exposed from the Super Grunt point of view, but the chopper survives another day to drop off the poppies on the next. LOL Gordy :ph34r: Attached Image ![]() |

That's the air force for you! If these pics are in the late '60s (A2-505 to -510 delivered in Feb 1968), they are in UH-1D configuration. They were later upgraded to UH-1Hs with the engine change from the T53-L-11 to the -L-13. |
