I was sitting on the mil side of the airport and we watched it take off. When it went down, our little group of 'expats' started talking about a possible shootdown.
Over the last week or so we had noticed a couple coalition aircraft using their chaff dispensers on apporoach into several LZs. Now the a insurgent group is claiming it. May be some truth to it.
Hi
First off RIP...
