Ive done ship ops in a 47 while stationed in Korea (Innkeepers as shown in the video), its pretty fun, a little sketchy..but dunker school training up for it was way worse. Also, there are no CH-47D's anymore, every aircraft shown in this video was a CH-47F, big difference.
Fun fact: upon landing this helicopter maintenance crews will damn near wash the paint off this chinook and then grease every single grease fitting on the bird...whole lotta corrosion control going on.
To all of our members of the US military we thank you very much for your service and the sacrifices that are made. To our allies also thank you. This is a good video, BUT - some narration would be a great added benefit for people with vision problems trying to read all of the closed captions. SALUTE!
CH47F models began fielding 20 years ago and fielding was completed in 2015. I haven’t seen a D model in a long time. Also, the block II F model is rolling out in 2025.
Now if this boat had a single spot to land then that’s impressive. Anyone recall when the 10th Mtn Div put a lift and attack BN on an CV in 1994? Plus the accompanying infantry and went to Haiti? Hawks, Scouts and Cobras all on the carrier for “Caribbean Cruise ‘94” That was an effective method to transport 2/3 of an aviation brigade and thousands of infantry.
I rode on one of these in the gulf, and the crew said they had to slow down for the Blackhawks and Apaches to keep up with them. They are super fast for a helicopter.
Nothing new as the South Vietnamese pilots landed many CH-47's on the USS Hancock during the fall of Saigon in 1975. None of them had any training for it either. Most had their families aboard with them.
You could land roughly 25 CH-47, maybe less the diameter of the main rotors are 60 ft each. Over all length of the bird is 98ft so waaaaay less than 25
The main thing however is that the ship is in motion (including up and down)and the winds can swirl around especially near the island,so it’s not as easy as it seems plus Ch47s don’t normally land on carriers where familiarity is essential, so it takes some planning,coordination and skill to successfully land on a carrier…
knock it off .the skill it takes to just fly a helicopter is well beyond 99% of the populations skill set. " oh if he can't land on a aicra..." gtfoh with that. un real God of the sky's lol
@@dalemullins4562 I’m a USAF Veteran, I was TDY from Germany to Turkey during the “73” October war I remember the Huey pilot who brought us down safely after losing oil and hydraulic pressure,he auto rotated swung the boom around and flared and landed…the skill it took and the almost relaxed demeanor was enough for me to furiously shake his and the copilot’s hand and give them both the most grateful and glorious salute I ever gave…
No offence, but this is hardly challenging to a helicopter pilot with 100hrs. Now landing something this big in a confined area, mountain top, or in a hot LZ…..that requires great skill
Because the aircraft carrier is moving, much faster than it looks, and not just moving forward but pitching and rolling. Even Navy pilots who land on carriers routinely are highly trained and go through regular qualifications to keep current, but I doubt any of them would say it’s not hard. Now add an Army helicopter pilot who DOESN’T routinely operate on and off aircraft carriers, and you add an element of much less familiarity. All incredibly skilled pilots for sure, but no matter what, that is NOT easy.
Thank you for your service.🇺🇸
All in a day's work. Bravery, dedication and unwavering commitment are truly commendable. That's what I think
The P41 is from spanish Armada. 😅 I meant there is more than a chinook landing
Fox models have the glass cockpit. These are all fox models, delta has the older guages.

This is a piece of cake compared to flight operations on an LPH with CH 46s and CH 53s coming and going in day and night ops.
Chinook is a flying truck.
And the fastest heli in the USArmy!
Sexiest army aircraft in the sky
@5:28 AI's caption misinterpreted 'grounding wire' as “earthing” wire.
You Know MARINES do this all Day Long
Believe me, no Chinook pilot would brag about landing on a carrier.
@@hooker9453 Exactly. They lane in much tighter spots than that.
First from somalia hi everybody

After all these many years the old girl still has it!
You have to admit, but those Americans come up with some pretty impressive tech!

Aman on the truck we called it a ruff rider😅
Are the rotor blades wider on these newer models?

maravilha...
Innkeepers, Nightmare Battalion, I was there in 03
From ❤❤❤ Thailand
Correction, lad! They are U.S. Navy amphibious ships,not, Marine Corps amphibious ships
Chinook looks like two palm trees screwing a dumpster.
Salute Indian army ❤
Why?

Got over 100 Jumps and repels from chinok
Grateful for your service.
🇺🇸😇🙏🕊️👍🦅💪
No that's Carrier Qualified
Pretty sure they have landings much harder then that in the field.
🇺🇸👍🙂
The aircraft carrier has a lot of acreage to land a chopper ! If a pilot can’t land on one of these than he doesn’t deserve to fly a chopper.

You're not smart. There are SO many factors in play here that could lead to disaster.

C'mon fact check your commentary TDA, that's a CH-47F

.....which I have done!!!!

Ospreys tend to crash. A lot.
Ok
I feel sorry for the dude no skills
Why was that so hard for a pilot...

The army that supports the injustice
It's a helicopter, get a clue.
