He then pushed the Chinook to its limits,ghd, fleeing the ambush at just 15 FEET off the ground,louboutin... and at half speed.</p><p>?Miraculously, everyone survived. And last week Chris’s courage was rewarded with a Distinguished ?Flying Cross.</p><p>Yet the modest hero insists: “I am humbled to receive the award, but it was just another day in Afghanistan really.</p><p>“It all happened very quickly. The safety of the Army guys on the ground is always the priority. You train for single- engine stuff, but I’d never flown like that.”</p><p>Just another day in Chris’s war took place last August when he was scrambled from Camp Bastion to rescue men pinned down by a fierce Taliban assault in the Nahri Saraj district of Helmand.</p><p>He says: “As we came in I could see about 60 troops trapped against a wall. I did a 180-degree turn and came in to land. Then I heard the sound of metal on metal and a huge dust cloud kicked up,louboutins. There was incoming from all sides.”</p><p>Shortly after Chris, 29, from Manchester,christian louboutin shoes, landed the Chinook rounds from a Taliban AK-47 destroyed some of its wiring and knocking out one engine.</p><p>He says: “I knew I could get the aircraft out with no one on board. But I had to quickly calculate the weight and power left – and I didn’t know if I could pull off the ground with 30 people,louboutin shoes.”</p><p>In a hail of fire, the hero ushered the troops towards his ?helicopter. One who had been shot in the leg was strapped in by the crew as the others boarded under heavy fire.</p><p>Chris, who was helped by ?Flying Officer ?Matthew Smyth, said: “I thought, ‘I can pull this off the ground.’ If I hadn’t they would have had to stay there under fire. I was looking at the flight information and outside the dust was really heavy so I couldn’t see much.</p><p>“But I could hear rounds thudding into the armour plating and my blades were hit. When they were all on board I pulled the Chinook to the max and started to pull off the ground over the fields. I knew I couldn’t overcook the engine and had to be careful.”</p><p>Chris had to fly dangerously low to get maximum possible speed, but he got the soldiers from 1 Royal Irish back to the safety of Camp Bastion,christian louboutin uk.</p><p>“We had a heavy landing because I only had the one engine so I had to come in like a plane and land on the rear wheels,” said Chris,burberry, of Manchester,christian louboutin uk.</p><p>“But that was the least of anyone’s worries. The Major and Captain from the Royal Irish thanked me and said they were pleased to get out of there.”</p><p>Chris received his DFC,burberry borse, one of the RAF’s highest awards for acts of valour, at a ceremony at Sandhurst.</p><p>He was one of 118 troops named in the latest Operational Honours list.</p><p>Army Chief of Staff General Sir Peter Wall said: “These young men and women are fantastic role models for the nation.
