😆 The guy sitting on the rear of that one chopper must been havin some fun

[@travistaylor6110]

It is a ton of fun. I've sat in the side door of a Huey and the back ramp of an Osprey. And it's a blast.

Say hi to the loadmaster 😊 They are the boss in the cargo area and you better do what they tell you to.

[@Deuterom]

I had the pleasure of working at the Ridley Park plant for 40 years as an Engineer, recently retired. I’ll tell you that in all 40 years, I never got tired of watching these birds go through their flight test. Whatever the customer and paint scheme, it constantly amazed me to see them in production and flight. My favorite had to be the MH-47’s for the 160th out of Fort Campbell; these were Chinooks on steroids! Now THEY were BADASS!!!

"They are umm... flocking this way"

[@QIKWIA]

🤷🏾‍♀️Mannn, I just get so darn excited when I hear or see one of these graceful and dependable BIG BIRDS!

[@AzNinjaguy]

That is the only thing I miss about the military was being a crew chief and flying

[@richy_ye8622]

How did you become a crew chief?

Funny how a sense of pride comes over you.

[@wyyrdojim]

I love that both helicopters have a guy sitting on the open back ramp!😎

[@PeterMaddison2483]

I've been in one of the beasts back in the late 1980's when I was in the TA's (Territorial Army (UK)). They're a great piece of kit. I love the sound they make, you can hear them miles away, if the wind is blowing in the right direction. I can't believe the British Army is phasing them out. I have no idea what they're going to use in it's place???

[@KTSMORI]

Although I am not British, my country is apart of the commonwealth and we thank you for your service. Much love my commonwealth comrade.

[@dogsnads5634]

They're not being phased out at all. The oldest examples will be retired and replaced with new aircraft.

[@kevinworrall231]

@@dogsnads5634 that's what I thought too

[@bushmasterflash]

We just bought new ones. They may be phasing out what used to be the old Mk1 airframes (Under the modification program they became Mk2 then later Mk4). The older airframes are more time-consuming to maintain and are not quite the same quality as later models. These two, however, look like swamp Germans (Dutch) and not RAF. (D model nose, narrow fuel tanks but similar chaff and flare dispenser locations to the RAF). Glad you liked our Chinooks, they took me all over the world.

[@finjay21fj]

Probably kites, the UK Army is melting down (/-_•)\

[@jimamccracken5783]

Wow man you sure were blessed. Those guys do not do that very often rarely. Those copters are real work horses.❤❤😊😊

[@hamannshaikh7398]

Very very COOL SOUNDING CHINOOK CH-47 😍

[@stevehaller6332]

They are cool sounding unless you are in one,then they are loud as hell and earplugs do not help

[@skunkhome]

Back 50 years ago when I rode in the ch57 with the ramp down I absolutely hated the beasts but loved the UH1H.

[@travisbickle348]

Music to my ears

[@christianebos1684]

Just Love them the Sound the Make and too watch them In Aktion Brilliant and Apaches too !

[@ravenleader5618]

Only thing that sounds as badass as a 47, is a USMC CH-53 Super Stallion...🇺🇸🥃

[@Francisco-df3rl]

Siempre me he preguntado por qué el Chinook en los trenes de aterrizaje traseros tienen 2 ruedas simples mientras que los delanteros tienen 4 dobles ,he visto, imágenes de primitivos Chinook y estos sí tenían las 8 ruedas dobles en los 4 trenes de aterrizaje. También me pregunto ¿ por qué no se recogen los trenes de aterrizaje? Un saludo desde Sevilla, España y gracias. 👋

[@cyberneticinterfacemodular3996]

Always look good in the air.

Footage of these flying above Australian Grasses is rare.
