I posted this message on a modelling site earlier today but it has been pushed down the queue so I thought I might as well place it here as somebody might read it.
A decal depicting a scantily clad female named "Rough and Reddy" has appeared on A15-201(?)in Afghanistan. Check out the photos in the media gallery of the ADF's website - look for C Sqn, 5th Aviation Regiment. I was also interested to read that there are at least two female pilots on the Chinooks, one of whom is hamming it up for the camera in front of the decal. |

"15 May 2009 C SQN 5th Aviation Regt
Aircrew of the Rotary Wing Group CH-47D Chinooks conduct pre flight checks before each mission over Afghanistan’s south. Weapons are loaded, cargo is secured and touch ups are applied to the nose art of ‘Rough n Reddy’. The aircraft fly thanks to the collective efforts of all the personnel of Rotary Wing Group, including the Technical Support Troop and other support staff. As outlined in the Defence White Paper, released in early May, the Australian Defence Force will acquire seven CH-47F model Chinooks, as used by the US Army in Afghanistan." http://www.defence.gov.au/opEx/global/opslipper/images/gallery/2009/0515c/index.htm _________________________________ "20090507adf8239716_046 5th Aviation Regiment, C Squadron CH-47D Chinook helicopter pilot, Captain Naomi Rogusz plays it up for the cameras during final checks on the aircraft."

Interesting as it appears to have been called "courage" before if my info is correct.
