Workhorse - E39 - MARSURV vs the Pong Su with Nick McCowan
Manage episode 440922884 series 3502538
The Pong Su was a drug-running freighter that was chased down by Australian authorities and apprehended under the ADF's Operation Tartan (2003). That operation required 24/7 surveillance, and 36 Squadron participated by conducting two maritime surveillance missions with one of its C-130Hs (A97-006).
In this episode, Nick McCowan relates his mission on Operation Tartan, along with tales from his RAF career and his time as a Special Operations Check Captain at 36 Squadron.
