Ingenious! This is the definition of thinking 'outside the box'. |

Geeze. How far did they have to tow it like that? Seems like a pain. Thanks, though.

Possible captions: Look what we found in the desert ma, can we keep it? It was just sitting there and it didn't look like anyone else was using it… Memo to self, when requesting close air support, also request flight crew. |

If they were Australians, they WOULD have kept it and paintd a kangaroo on it.
It worked for Italian tanks… |

Proving wheels are superior to skids. How'd they'd hitch it to the helo? |

Article said they manufactured a tow bar |

Would make a neat diorama, wouldn't it! |

Drat. Now I have to update my modern vehicle charts to include the LAV towing capacity of 1 helicopter. |
| adub74 | 11 Jul 2011 11:57 a.m. PST |
Hmmm… I don't think the specifications call for the aircraft to be pulled by its tail over uneven road. Wonder if it's still air worthy. |

It took two days to fully repair the helicopter before it could return to its home base. Presumably they wouldn't call it 'fully repaired' if it were not air-worthy. I suspect the specs for air-craft don't generally include towing them over uneven road. You do what's necessary, though. |

Once you get it going make sure the Apache is in gear and then pop the clutch and give it some gas. |

Clearly the "4 by 2 and No. 8 Wire" special rule still applies to Kiwi forces. And they say that FoW isn't accurate. Wyatt |

It took two days to fully repair the helicopter before it could return to its home base. Presumably some of that time was spent enjoying the hospitality (read: BEER) of our allies. |

Nice work Kiwis! First rate job on bringing the chopper in and helping to fix it. Glad you're on our side guys. |
