Very nice pics, kmc. Thanks.

Cool pics KMC,
the orange smoke you see in the first couple of pics is to indicate to the pilot the wind direction for his approach, easier for them to fly into wind giving them more control over the aircraft.
The other pics show the safety brief from the helo crew to the SAR team who will fly in the chopper for the exercise on Davaar.
