@stevebailey69 Empty weight 22,450Ib, max take off weight, 50, 000Ib. On this flight here it was probably on its normal loaded weight of 22, 680Ib. Hope that helps:-)
with all the problems with getting enough Chinooks for the RAF in Afghanistan, how about dusting off the plans for the Bristol Belvadaire in service from 61-69. Create a few jobs in this country also.
The first time I saw one of these is when I was in Biloxi, MS during Hurricane Katrina. We were searching for relatives and found my aunt and uncle patching up their home when all of a sudden there was this loud noise and I looked over and one was taking off from a large grassy area.
do you know this will outrun an Apache!!? its seriously quick

Really like this helicopter, you're lucky in the US the Chinooks don't really put on displays that push the aircraft to the limit.
