You can hear the lovely Huey noise... Three CH-47C Chinooks of the Aviazione dell'Esercito (Italian Army Aviation) were deployed in support of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in 2005 to Kabul, Afghanistan and needed armed protection during their transport missions. To fulfill that task, three with armed AB212 (Anti-Surface Warfare) helicopters of the Marina Militare (Italian Navy) were deployed too. Weird to see those Navy Hueys deployed in a country with hardly any water. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
