Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2014 11:27 am
Hi all, as part of Exercise Joint Warrior 14-1, troops staged a simulated airfield attack on RAF Kinloss. The assault included 5 Merlin, 3 Puma, 2 Apache, 2 Lynx, 1 Chinook and 2x C-130. Very interesting and exciting to watch!
On arrival at Kinloss, all seemed quiet with only this guy in the circuit......

Soon the internet forums and radios started crackling into life, with talk of 13 low level heli's on route from their fuel stop at Leuchars. The first inkling we had was this crafty fella, hiding in the trees...

Next "Battlecat Formation" called Kinloss as inbound, and we were greeted with the sight of 5 Merlins hammering towards us, a truly impressive sight!
