On their way from Houma Louisiana where they were long-lining sand bags for the oil spill, this Boeing / Kawasaki Vertal 107 (CH-46 Sea Hawk) flew into the Gatlinburg Sevierville airport for fuel. It was my first time to see one up close and personal other than logging operations in California a couple years ago.
I don't know much about Columbia Helicopters, but the crew were great to talk with, telling about what they do and how the aircraft operates. Very clean aircraft.
Sea Hawk is the SH-60, like the army Black Hawk. CH-47 is the Chinook. Columbia owns the BV107 and the BV234. Civilian models of the CH-46 SeaKnight and the CH-47 Chinook. This video is the BV107
sorry, pet peve lol

I had the privilege of flying with the command pilot (the one in the left seat) while logging as a copilot in alaska. He is an awesome pilot. I had a great time flying with him

These guys come over and do patterns at MMV all the time right before fire season starts. One day I was in the pattern with the Vertol, a Chinook, an MH-60, and a couple of Robbies. I love days like that :)
