CH-47 Chinook (multiple)

I photographed these CH-47 Chinook examples at museums and airshows from Washington to Alabama.

Though similar at first glance, the Army’s CH-47 Chinook is considerably larger and heavier than the CH-46 Sea Knight used by the Marines.

Also check out the winged Boeing Vertol CH-347 at Fort Novosel, which was used to test potential upgrades for the Chinook, several incorporated into subsequent versions of the CH-47.
