  • Dad and I got permission once to walk out on the runway where two of these were sitting and take a look up close... then we got to watch both take off. :) It was awesome.

  • @helicopterjack dont care i can listen to this all day

  • When I was stationed at the NATO base in Naples, Italy, when the fleet was in, these would often come in and land at the helipad. Whenever I heard one coming, I would race over and crawl up the hill till my eyes were level with the helipad and cling to the vegetation as they would take off and land right over me. What a hoot! I could feel their power and weight, and it was a thrill I won't ever forget! I sure wish I could do that again. :-)

  • these are the fuckin beasts that fly over my house and shake my windows.

  • how many soldiers since the 1960s have owed their lives to this beautiful machine and the pilots that fly 'em?

    Love chinooks!

  • @boss9498 well the paths of the blades do overlap, but because the two engines are linked into one drive shaft, which drives both sets of rotors, both sets will always spin at the same speed but in opposite directions to each other, meaning that as long as they are placed with the right spacing, the blades will never hit each other :)
