So sorry, murcielago08na, but this isn't a US Army chinook. It's RAF. A Mk 2, to be precise. The chaff and flare dispensers on the sponsons give it away. That, and the external hoist.
My uncle (who is like a dad to me) was an Army Chinook mechanic up in Alaska with the 242nd Aviation Company, the "Sugar Bears" from 1975-1977. He's told me some interesting stories about his time up there working on these neat old birds. "Shit-Hooks" they called them lol
Damn! At first I was like, "Oh, another helo vid", but the the pilot did the keep the nose in the air while landing thing, then took off reverse the landing. VERY NICE.
Paint it yellow and it'd make an amazing flying school bus.

@D34thW15hBrown It's called the CH-46 Sea Knight not the Chinook. The Chinook is all Army not Marine Corps.

haha, what idiot thought this was an US Army helicopter?

well the US army is the main user of the CH-47. the RAF uses it, yes, but usually when you see an olive drab chinook it is a US Army one.

MANY more airforces use the Chinook. And they're almost all dark green :)
