Helicopter GZ100, which is part of the Command Support Air Transport fleet, performed a defence tasking on 9 February 2024, travelling between Defence locations within the Southwest. Measurement of military aviation is primarily through recorded flight hours. While we do not record exact track miles flown by military aircraft, the rough total straight line round trip distance between those Defence locations was some 240 nautical miles.<\/p>
