Heiner Christenn, the liaison officer in Ploce for the German helicopter squadron in Rajlovac. We have to organise flights for the squadrons. We also coordinate the air space control. Even though life is very busy, occasionally you will have a day off where you can have permission to go out to the beach for the afternoon. And it is the weather that makes Ploce an excellence spot for the air operations compared to other locations in the MND, said Rebot.
Ploce is a good place for helicopters because of the weather.
In Mostar, you can't have helicopters because there is a special wind that can flow up to 80 knots. In winter here, we can keep on flying and make missions to Dubrovnik and other parts of Croatia and the southeast area. If our copters were in Sarajevo, that would not be possible because of the weather. In Sarajevo, the cloud ceiling is often very low. Rebot said besides having the great weather and the coast so close, there are other good points to working in Ploce with the other nations.
