My take on the "Magic Carpet" option out of Krakow:
Have Wojo make up a whole bunch of custom smoke and Illum mortar rounds. The smoke is actually smoke and chem:irritant. The Illum has been set to burn to mimic a jet exhaust. After the LCs have managed to capture the chopper and get the engines started, the teargas smoke will make observation difficult and the flare moryar rounds will confuse MANPADs, you hope. And you can even have a tearful goodbye between lovers right before it lifts off.
"You must remember this...."
