Description

Operation Wing Fury, 202 Jump Seat Footage [Part 3]. Mission Duration 2.7 Hours. Crew: Pilots Major Jason Duggan (RHS) and Capt Jason Otter (LHS); Aircrewman Technician Corporal Garth Pregnell (RHS); Aircrewman LHS Unknown and Aircrewman Technician Sergeant Lee Maloney (RAMP). Filmed by an unidentified person from the Jump Seat of Australian Army CH-47D Chinook A15-202 using Captain (Capt) Jason Otter's Sony Cybershot.

Capt Otter later recalled: "Wing Fury was a mission involving three UH60 Blackhawks, two US/AUS Chinooks and two AH64 Apache Helicopters. This is footage of the final approach phase of flight on one of the deliberate action missions to insert ground forces. Note the final landing phase where the nose is raised as to hold attitude which ensures the aft gear contacts the ground first shortly followed by the forward landing gear as cloud of dust engulfs the aircraft". This is the third part of three in the footage sequence, see also AWM2019.311.8.207 and AWM2019.311.8.208.
