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 footage is shot enroute to the target west of Kandahar over [Green Belt] terrain. I took the imagery with the (Sony) camera up under my (HUD) monocle hence the reflection [:08 sec]. The mission was 3.6 hours in duration from take off, to insertion and then extraction following hot refuel - we used the UK Camp Bastian for refuel". Also featured is Flying Pilot Captain Steven "Faz" Fazel. This is one of six digital videos of the mission filmed by Otter - see AWM2019.311.8.43 to AWM2019.311.8.48.
