British Royal Marines used two Augusta Westland WAH-64 attack helicopters as as combat taxis in an attempt to rescue a colleague who had been shot during an operation in Afghanistan last week. Four Marines were strapped to the stub-wings of two WAH-64s, two on each helicopter, while a third WAH-64 provided top cover.
No further info yet as to wheather they were successfull.
