Chinook helicopters a vital supply line to soldiers.
I spent twelve years in the Minnesota Army National Guard as a UH-1H “Huey” crew chief getting out just as the Blackhawks were coming on line. And while the Hawks get all the press and look really sexy the Chinooks are the real work horse of Army aviation and don’t get the respect they deserve. I love the “ROUGN’N REDDY” nose art on the Australian Chook. Can’t have anything like that on US. aircraft, might offend somebody.
