The RSAF’s Peace Prairie detachment conducted its first air gunnery course in Texas.
As part of the Helicopter Group’s operational development, the RSAF's Peace Prairie detachment in Texas conducted an inaugural air gunner qualification for 10 flight engineers and four Aircrew Specialists using the US Army's M240H machine gun. Air gunnery is an integral part of helicopter operations in hostile settings.
