Makes you realize just how robust American units are, completely in a league of their own.
48 heavy lift helicopters just to support that one unit - not including attack helicopters, utility helicopters, etc etc. Unreal the amount of utility they have built in organically to their units.
Years ago, I can't remember exactly what base we were visiting, for an exercise. I'm talking probably over a decade ago now. We were rolling around from one part of the training grounds to another on school buses, and there were some Brits with us.
I remember us driving by ONE of the airfields on that base (there were 2 or 3 if I remember correctly) - and a senior Brit WO just looked in bewilderment, along with the rest of us. There seemed like there were more helicopters on that one airfield than in the entire CAF, and I think the British WO said something similar about the RAF.
Was just amazing to see rows upon rows, each with dozens of helicopters. Just parked outside like they were cars.
