What I think happened in that case was one of the Indigenous troopers threw it out. I have some copies of various "Tips of the trade" that were wrote out usually by the company's First Sergeant so everybody could see what has worked in the past and what hasn't. AM, do remember what those papers were called back then? The name seems to escape me right now.

Anyway, in one of those tips it mentions that you should never throw a grenade from out of a rescue chopper because their could still be Panther's, air support, and other hueys beneath you. Now the Americans on the RTs knew about this no-no but maybe an Indigenous Trooper(s) did not understand it and maybe out of fear or rage he tossed one out while they were climbing to escape enemy AA. IMHO and nothing more. Could be wrong too.
