Amazing Aircraft! My father served on a Chinook as a Flight Engineer with the 228th. ASHB/1st. Cavalry Division in Vietnam. Rotated back to Germany where the 228th. cased their colors...and then moved on to the "Sugar Bears" in Alaska! Thank you for sharing your video!
In the 1990s,I was manager of Woodbine ,NJ Airport , when a CH47 came in fast and landed, broken with a mechanical problem. 2 tall American pilots with several short Asians off loaded and climbed up the rear to the engines . Was told , not to worry ,help was coming. They were on a demo training flight out of Philly area and were gone the next morning. Beautiful helio even with problems!
Growing up less than 30 miles from Ft. Hood, I would always see Chinook's, Huey's and Cobra's flying overhead. Later, in my teens, I started training in Hapkido. My instructor was a Cobra mechanic and a second degree black belt. I would often go with him to the base on weekends and rummage around the hangers. It was great fun. I salute the women and men of our GREAT armed forces.
Yeah that's why they're so fast. Rotors are countering each other so they can use their power for thrust/lift instead of having to sacrifice some power to the tail rotor.
Right after hurricane Katrina in south Mississippi the military landed two of these choppers by the beach near where I was working. Some of us walked over to look. The military guys wouldn't let us get real close but I got close enough to see that chopper is a beast.
While watching this, I realised that up top there are bolts or linkages attaching the rotor blades to the heli itself. Those mechanisms and whatever they screw into or connect to have to be able to stand 25 tons worth of lifting force, plus the absurd amount of centrifugal force from the rotor going at full speed. Plus deal with increased load due to any weighr shift, weather or emergency manoeuvres. Absolutely insane.
More in particualr, that's an "MH-47G Chinook". Used by the 160th SOAR - Special Operations Aviation Regiment - Nightstalkers, based at Fort Worth, Texas. What makes it different from the standard CH-47: Refuling Prob on starboard front side, Increased Fuel capacity, Upgraded Avionics & Electronic Equipment, and higher survivabilty rate deep in enemy territories.
Many wouldn’t know it, but they are highly maneuverable as well. I remember looking out the back in Honduras as the pilots flew low and followed the muddy river through the jungle, banking back and forth at fast speed. That memory has stayed with me since 1992.
That was the loudest aircraft I ever flew on. I had one ride on one. The fillings in my teeth were still vibrating 30 minutes after landing and engine shut down.
So I was in logistics when I was in the army. I had the chance to load some of these birds with outgoing cargo in Iraq. They would come in, I’d have the 463L pallet ready. I would approach from the rear of course because the blades were still spinning. Crew person would give me hand signals on which way I should maneuver the pallet. Once it was lined up, they’d wench it into the cargo bay. I got to do that dozens of times. Sometimes I’d look up, the ceiling of the forklift cockpit was glass. I could see the static electricity on the blades. It was really cool
I saw a few Australian army Chinooks flying low down the Adelaide beach line a couple years ago, it was awesome.. they’d been helping out with bushfire work. They passed back and forth for about 30 mins..
❤❤❤ This is Ken. LORD made me unique as the CHINOOK 47. One flew over my house yesterday. LORD is moving BIGTIME in my life. A few years ago, I watched a TH-cam video of the CHINOOK 47 as I walked my daily walk. Then the LORD guided me at the base of the dam of Old City Lake by my house.I REACHED BLINDLY ( GOD'S GUIDED STEPS) into the mud and pulled out a 1947 solid silver quarter !!! LORD IS AMAZING 😍
The Apache look alike that you get in GTA Vice City and San Andreas kept me very busy for a lot of afternoons! Gotta say that I hated flying the Cargo Bob, though!
So you could really ramp up your views if it was titled: “MH-47G 160th SOAR Full APU & ENGINE Start”. No joke, you literally have a very rare piece here! Rarely, will you find a Full Uninterrupted APU & Engine start of the MH-47G. Anyone in aviation will identify. Literally What got me into flying helos. When I was 3-4yrs old; I watched a BK117 Startup with the Lycoming LTS-101 750 engines. That distinct startup sound & smell with the ignitors clicking.. ahhh, it hooked me immediately! I knew immediately what I wanted! -- it’s actually crazy thinking back of how something so insignificant could do that. Even today I will intentionally delay takeoff if a B206L or 407 is present because the sound of the Allison C30/c47b start up.
It's crazy how flimsy looking those blades look as they go through their pre-checks and the blades Bounce Around and yet those blades can lift that heavy helicopter plus all the payload unbelievable
It is extremely likely test flighted this very one, many years ago when it was new. I was told a lot of our E models were C's pulled out of storage and overhauled to an E.
Sometimes when I was in my backyard there was one or even two of these flying overhead there was also some smaller helicopters I lived near an airport.
I've flown in quite a few of the Chinooks, I never got used to that shake all the time.
Nothing else looks like a Chinook. Those double rotors are second to none.
CH-46 looks a lot like a 'hook.

You should see the Piasecki H-21. They call it "the flying banana" 😆
It was pretty cool to see the blades change pitch before engine start!
Flight control travel and hydraulic checks.
@@705skynetYa gotta check it on the ground before all the hydraulic fluid leaks out in flight
APU was running.

Well yeah you gotta do pre flight checks.

Learn how to pluralize words.
Good video plz sports
I never knew the rotaries went in opposite directions….BEAST!!!
Yeah that's why they're so fast. Rotors are countering each other so they can use their power for thrust/lift instead of having to sacrifice some power to the tail rotor.

Definitely a beast. Theres a reason they have been in service since 1962 and still produced today. Gotta love it. Thanks for watching!
Not this variant.
Why ? U should said I'm American..
You can hear these things coming from miles away. They have a sound no other helicopter has.
Same with the hueys
Yes 👍 Chinook amazing
Same with the bell214B (just posted a vid) they’re just 😍
Go get to the choppa
Yes
I still love the sound of a Huey most of all but Chinook blades have such a lovely sound as well.
I have a video of a Huey. Although it is not a Military Huey.
It gives vets nightmares.

Yup I’m a 15u and the rotor head is actually only held on by 1 Nut and we call that nut the Jesus nut

Yea I've seen some crazy maneuvers here on TH-cam, never woulda expected that out of a flying school bus lol
I think I read that it is a very fast chopper.
@@Gwen-x6d Yes, very fast!
Not just any Chinook...160th S.O.A.R. Badass mamma jammas
That was the loudest aircraft I ever flew on. I had one ride on one. The fillings in my teeth were still vibrating 30 minutes after landing and engine shut down.
Absolutely love everything about this helo
I’m more of a plane guy but, WOW this thing is beutiful
We see these guys flying in and out of Ft Hood all the time from my parent's place in Copperas Cove. This is pretty neat to see, a total run-up!
What an amazing aircraft!! Appreciate all the skill this pilots have!!!
Amazing my idol 💗

❤😂😮😢
The centrifugal forces on the hardware that keep those blades on has got to be tremendous!!
It is, but that centrifugal force is necessary to keep the blades rigid.
Ya know on paper helicopters aren't supposed to work, and Boeing said fuck it let's make one with TWO rotors lol
Anyone else ever seen what happens when the droop stops are installed incorrectly???
This is a beautiful sight and great footage of the MH-47G Chinnok 😊😎
th-cam.com/users/shortsSPL6yEFxdDU?si=gruIuHxLzDd62wRs
The perfect creation. Got a ride once and I will not forget that
The king of the choppers!
Yes sir!
It an Buff will be around a goood looong while still.
Proven and near irreplaceable with any other competing design.
Not really... but a mammoth for sure
It’s also the fastest helicopter in the U.S. service
The flying school bus! Loved my ride from VBC to JSS Loyalty Iraq in 2010.
Awesome footage, I love the Chinook's 👍😎
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's not the prettiest helicopter, but damn is it one of the coolest
So big!
❤😂😢😮
I love seeing the guy standing in the side hatch. You definitely cannot be scared of heights to do that job
Special Op's flavor of the Chinook right there.
I love the sound.

It's amazing these things can fly, what a bucket of bolts.

Good video plz sports
❤❤❤ MILITARY JUST TAKES MY BREATH AWAY
A masterpiece of engineering. Benchmmark for its Use.
I remember as a kid seeing one if these things pulling logs out of the woods in the canyon.
I bet that was a sight to see
Oh, this is not just a Chinook. This is one of the very few chosen ones, an MH-47.
I’ve always enjoyed flying the Cargobob out of Sandy Shores Airfield.
The Apache look alike that you get in GTA Vice City and San Andreas kept me very busy for a lot of afternoons! Gotta say that I hated flying the Cargo Bob, though!
That is so intimidating but incredible.
I had to come back and get another look at the best helio in Army Aviation
Thank you very much. I always appreciate your comments and support.
MH-47G is my favorite of the Chinook. Wish ED make this Version for DCS World. 😎

MH-47 to be specific, nice catch!
Absolutely fascinating!!
It Is Truly Amazing That The Propellers Do Not Hit Each Other During Startup😊.
Right! Engineering Masterpiece
They physically can’t. They’re geared specifically to avoid it.
Phased properly
That's what I was thinking'
@@FS2K4Pilotgears break, pretty often.

Awesome, beautiful bird!
Nice that they carry Flares, always ready.
Красиво взлетают самолеты и вертолеты. такая мощь и красота ...
❤❤❤❤ I don't know if it's by Design or just by coincidence but the face of those ch ch46 and ch47 always seems to resemble a soldier wearing a beret
I can kinda see that haha
Estão de parabéns linda aeronave óbrigao por desenvolver o meu projeto!
obrigado por assistir. eu gosto de você
❤😂😢😮
Like a flying battleship
This is the first time I've noticed that the front wheels are the dualies. In most any other vehicle, it's the rear wheels.
Aft wheels are the steering wheels.
awesome
Thanks
😮😮😮 to cool 😎 awesome 🤩
Hi 👋 ya see 👀 that big ride iloves it 💯 💯 💯 that has soooo much work to be done ✔️ what a great ride 😊😊
See them frequently flying between Camp Ripley and the downtown St.Paul Airport.
Wow great video 👍👍👍
Thank you very much
Mi gusta mucho Chinooks
Buen suave 😊👍🏽
The most fun jump as a Paratrooper I made was out of the Chinook
Very Cool Helikopter
What an impressive machine !!!!
That's impressive
Served in the 49th Avn Co, CNG 1976-1977 after enlistment in regular Army. We had A models that I worked on avionics & SAS.
Thank you for your service, and thank you for watching. I really appreciate you.
I was in VNAF, !st Lieutenant ,I flow CH 47 A untill the War end 1975 I' m now living in California
Amazing 😅
Always fun to fly in the 46's 53's and Hueys.😊
I would love to see a 53

Some still kicking around I'm sure.

It may surprise some to know the Boeing CH-47 Chinook is the fastest Military Helicopter.👌
Very lovely.
Impressive
Drive around the parking lot to find a place to lift off.
What's up with the security fence? 3:23-3:32 haha
Apart from being a awesome military chopper the Chinook is also a magnificent tool for firefighting purposes.
ALWAYS THE BEST
