Maybe the Taliban will loan the Us one of the helicopters Biden bequeathed to them?
Gods speed.
Even in the height of the summer the water is cold out in the Channel Islands.
Just shows you how dangerous a routine flight can turn,.. and yup, the waters are likely no joke@temperature. Hope they get them or if the public story is they died, they maybe survived and just work undercover now or live undersea with mermaids :D
