Mini Gun Shoot Texas Helo (1).
Description
Mini Gun Shoot Texas Helo (1). Captain Jason Otter, 5th Aviation Regiment (5 Avn Regt) later noted: "Texas Helo was the desert south of Kandahar - this was a live fire designated area where we could train - where we did our test flights, most of our Local Area Orientation and introduction flying. This footage was captured during Aircrew Qualification training onboard either [Australian Army Chinook] A15-201 or 202. It commences showing the large sand dune encroaching on the mountain range that would be known as Texas Helo. The imagery is captured from the Ramp with the Mag 58 ramp gun in view. This contained area was designated a training range due to its proximity and clearly defined boundaries".
