'..touched down onto PLAB"? Is this implying that the Apcahes
FLEW all the way here (from the
US)? Or they were (most probably) transported here by either C-17s
or perhaps An-124s?
Perhaps anyone who had seen any C-17s or An-124s near the vacinity
or at the apron of PLAB can verify that?
PLAB? I had thought that the transporters would land in a military
air base less obvious to the public eye like CAB?
But then, if it is ST who reported it, hey, they
could report it 'in accordance to official requirements'.
Let's hope the Apaches could participate in this year's NDP as one
thing for sure, SOMEONE'S PT-91s would definitely be paraded in
their's NDP in the same month!
