Ghosts
Flight | 1
Ghosts, in the realm of folklore and paranormal beliefs, are said to be the spirits or souls of deceased individuals who have not moved on to the afterlife or have some unfinished business in the earthly realm. Different cultures and religions have their own interpretations and beliefs about ghosts, but the general concept is widespread across many societies.
Though interpretations may differ amongst cultures there are some common characteristics, low visibility, surprise and ambush, evasion and elusiveness.
Ghost-flight employs these characteristics during their missions. Flying low, under the cover of darkness and carefully making use of terrain, they are able to enter contested area’s unseen. Which in turn leads to a surprise to whoever Ghost-flight is paying a visit that night. After bringing our chinooks magnificent rumble Ghost-flight uses the same techniques to disappear again in the darkness.
So folks grab your pillows tight, Ghost-flight comes out at night!
"Flying low, under the cover of darkness..."
