Burning sand, scorching heat, and dusty winds – these are the elements 27 Squadron is conquering head-on at Exercise Vortex Warrior in El Centro, California.

The focal point of the exercise is rigorous Desert Environmental Training, aimed at preparing aircrew, engineers, and enablers for the unique challenges posed by hot and dusty environments.

For the RAF Chinooks and their crew, the Naval Air Facility in El Centro provides the perfect setting for a crash course in surviving and thriving in the most arid of terrains.
