In the first flown an Argentine Air Force Chinook and by the CAE one Puma, six UH-1H and two Agusta A-109 as escort support. The second in the afternoon flown the same helicopters less one UH-1H. In both operations the AAF Chinook took off before of the rest of the helicopters. The artwork show the landing in Goose Green in the afternoon.

During the Malvinas War, Cpt. Jorge Svendsen accompanied by Corporal San Miguel and Sgt. Santana on board a UH 1 H of the 601 Combat Aviation Battalion of the Argentine Army Aviation Corps were rescueing Argentine Navy Cpt Jose Cesar Arca who had ejected from his A4 Q after the attack on the HMS Ardent. The feat was outstanding, considering the bad weather and the constant threat of the enemy´s attacks. Svendsen had to introduce his helicopter skis into the rough waters so that the injured pilot could hang on and be taken that way about 500 yards to reach the shore for later boarding of the helicopter.
