OP Commando Dawn (6) Arrival Bastian Refuel 2Ch 3UH.
Operation Commando Dawn (an operation staged through Camp Bastian, Helmand Province, Southern Afghanistan). Filmed by Captain Jason Otter, C Squadron, 5th Aviation Regiment (5 Avn Regt) from the cockpit of Australian Army CH-47D Chinook A15-201 (Flying Pilot: Captain Steven "Faz" Fazel). Captain Otter later noted: "This was a US operation on 28 March (2008). The aircraft is CH-47D Chinook A15-201. The Imagery captures late finals on approach to land. At :06 seconds multiple UK AH64 Apache Longbow Helicopters can be seen parked on their hardstand, multiple clam shelters similar to those used at Kandahar and multiple UH60 Blackhawks visible just prior to landing. This is one of six digital videos of the mission filmed by Otter - see AWM2019.311.8.43 to AWM2019.311.8.48.
