plan_D said:My dad served in the Falklands War with the Chinooks. He loaded up the Atlantic Conveyor and flew down in a Hercules. The Conveyor full of Chinooks was sunk en-route. All the Chinooks for the task force were destroyed except one which was on a flight test at the time. He kept that lone Chinook flying until more came down from Britain.
The Falklands War was Argentina invading the Falkland Isles (Maldives to them) .
And we caught the bloody Argies in the Maldives

And I think that they took too many Bloody Marys also, because Maldives is this:

The Argentine Navy still has A-4s, a new batch that were delivered in 1997-1998 are probably the most advanced A-4s produced. Stuffed filled with advanced avionics, I was told by a friend who worked on this project "it was like stuffing 10 pounds of Sh*t into a 5 pound bag." The last of the modification line was done in Palmdale Ca. at the Skunk Works facility. I got to see the last one delivered. The Argentine pilot who took delivery of the aircraft actually participated in the Falklands conflict.
