Otterman gets a tip off about unusual activity on Kent Ridge. He then discovers the reason: a Chinook landed on the multi-purpose field in NUS. Check out keropokman’s photo!.
For the uninitiated, the Chinook is a huge tandem-rotor troop/transport helicopter. I got to sit in one during in-camp training a couple of years back. Man, it was loud…

/ Friday, 23 May 2008It was reported on ZaoBao (pg 7) that the chinook was used in the medical evacuation off a China-registered merchant ship. As the super pumas in Singapore are currently grounded due to the recent crash, chinook was used instead.
