Mali, Kidal, Minusma helicopter landing on Deschamps Mobi-Mat®Helipad.
UNO Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of MINUSMA Albert Gérard Koenders together with Mr Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, President of the Republic of Mauritania as well as Chairman of the African Union (Algeria, Mali, Mauritania, Niger), standing on Deschamps Mobi-Mat Helipad in Kidal, Mali.
” The 101st has 33 Kits of Mobi-Mat in use by our aviators they Love it and it is so easy to install – that now the aviators actually do it themselves (believe me – this means it is EASY to do).”
Colonel, 101st Airborne, US Army
” For the cost of the four aircraft (and the blades and engines that have been unduly worn and will need replacement soon) we could have purchased enough mobi-mat for both 101st and 3ID (M). “

The Mobi-Mats or “triscuit pads” as we called them were awesome in Iraq – for FARPS or even for landing pads at the hospitals… We appreciate the help and truthfully – the lives you probably saved by allowing the military to use those…

I personally landed on your matting many times out in the middle of the desert and they performed magnificently. Thanks for producing such a super product. All the best.
