Afghan Helicopter that landed a little hard and needed it's big brother (us) to give it a towe.



Arriving to our destination. Notice the little parachute (drone chute) basical in forward flight the drone catches the air and helps stabilize the item in towe. Usually used when slinging anthing that is somewhat aerodinamic in nature. (I.E. helicopters, planes, jets, ect.)
