SAAF Puma Landing and Deploying Mortar Squad

SAAF Puma making a landing and deploying a mortar team at the SAAF Museum Airshow.

Actually, it's an Oryx.....upgraded Puma, similar to the overseas Super Puma.

That actually is a puma, the only ex SAAF puma still flying belonging to the SAAF museum at Swartkops. That footage was probably taken at the anual Swartkops airshow. The Orix has a small radar dome on its nose, bigger side pods where the main gear retracts into and a small stabilizer underneath its tail boom. That is the quick way to differentiate between the two.

In fact the Oryx uses Makila engines just like the super puma

If they were Apartheid era Squaddies they would've been out the door in less than 10 seconds.

Probably took st least 10 takes to get them out the chopper without falling flat on their faces. What happened to jumping out and moving quickly into position. Pathetic and embarrassing to say the least. Chopper pilot was good
