HELICOPTER + ???
SOLDIER could have been clued as Paratrooper instead, but even as it is it still seems like a strong connection.
You might airlift a CELL of agents into hostile territory.
Mountaineers in the HIMALAYAS sometimes need to be airlifted to safety.
Are there any notable airlifts in Greek history? Something like Berlin or Saigon would've stood out to me, for example.
Post-spoiler, I agree re: paratrooper but maybe Dave wasn’t confident we knew people parachuted from helicopters too. If we reject Soldier then I like Vet or Staff for the concept of airlifting in (non-soldier) personnel.
@Azoth - wouldn’t Altitude or Soaring or Atmosphere or really any ‘height’ word work for Helicopter and Himalayas? Is there another word I’m not seeing which would need to be clued around? Greece prevents something as simple as Tourism but even like Adventure probably gets Helicopter+Himalayas.
