[@bwofficial1776]

Chinooks are serious hardware. It's incredible how the blades intermesh.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

That aerial shot of the Chinook hovering over the trailer as the guys hook it up really impresses upon you (or at least on me) the incredible technology that is a helicopter. Through human creativity and innovation, we've created the ability to take a 12 ton piece of metal and suspend it in midair, hundreds of feet up, stationary, without any external support, by just moving air around. I love helicopters and I understand how they work, but that image really drives home just how incredible that creation is.

I was an Airframer in the Navy, working on H-46 Sea Knights (HC-5). Every other phase inspection, we completely removed all of the flight controls from the rotor heads. The engineers at Vertol were part insane, and part genius. Also, underway VERTREP with as many as 4 Phrogs in the mix for 6 to 10 hours, is a rush.

This was my life for 25 years. Lifting big loads on long slings was part of the job when I was an Army Chinook pilot. I probably flew that exact helicopter, since they were swapped around between units during all the deployments. Good times!

I flew C model and Super C model Chinooks in Vietnam in 1970 and 1971. This was done very differently than the thousands of sorties I flew during that year. Our flight engineer, crew chief and door gunner were just as important as the pilots in picking up a load and setting it down exactly where it was needed by the people on the ground. The Chinook never let me down.

I spent about a month doing traffic management for a helicopter logging crew about 15 years ago. They where using a Chinook. I was amazed at how it worked, what it could lift and how fast it could lift out logs. We had 8 crews of guys felling and rigging etc. Anyway one day we had a 'news pilot. Turns out it was one of the senior check pilots for the company (Columbia helicopters) we borrowed an extra 4 felling crews and he was still bored. The normal pilot would pick the log up by hovering and letting the rigger hook the chocker onto the Whitehook, this guy had the rigger prop the loop of the choker in the air and he could hook it without slowing down and he could drop the logs in the claws of the loader, properly impressive stuff. I got to have a look over the choper and it had a heap of little patches all over it, The (normal) pilot said that the chopper was shot up during the evacuation of Khe Sahn, weather or not thats true who know lol

I recently moved to a big military town and my first day here my whole apartment started rumbling and I stepped outside onto my patio and three chinook helicopters flying in formation flew overhead.
