Boeing CH-47 Chinook | | 6" | | 3.5" |
Starting in 1964, BEA, and later British Airways, following the merger with BOAC, operated a fleet of helicopters on feeder and shuttle routes as well as for use on supply flights to off-shore oil platforms off the United Kingdom's shores. In 1981, six Boeing 234, a commercial variant of the proven military CH-47, were acquired. Designed as a turbine-powered replacement for the CH-37 Mojave, the CH-47 was first flown on September 21st, 1961. This iconic helicopter has had a long service history, seeing action in many different wars, from Vietnam to Afghanistan. The Chinook is the U.S. Army's heaviest-lifting helicopter, primarily serving as a troop transporter, with secondary roles including artillery emplacement and battlefield resupply. It has a crew of three and can move 55 combat-ready troops. Its wide-loading ramp can be opened in-flight for paratroopers, and three cargo hooks can extend through a floor hatch, which allows the Chinook to be used as a flying crane. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
