Chinook - Waddington Airshow 2006

[marcs990]

Used to fly in these all the time when I was in the army (UK). When you are on top of a mountain in Bosnia and u hear that unmistakable sound coming to pick u up is such a relief. Used to get very nervous in the back though when they start throwing it about and ur hanging on for dear life.

haha, made my day xD

[athapris]

Every chinook has two flight engineers!!!

[chrisatom]

Chinnoks don't have flight engineers, no RAF helicopters do. As dahed said, he is an airloadmaster, or crewman specifically,as air loadmaster is more a fixed wing term.

I like the tail gunner's (or is it crew chief?) big hand for waving to the crowd!

[dahed123]

its the air load master

[Severian47]

It's the Flight Engineer.
