These choppers are awesome. Damned near capable of lifting entire towns!

"It's a long story mate."

The water capacity would certainly be welcome in LA.

Great shot and framed nicely.

I flew the CH-47 for many years and REALLY wanted the transition to the CH-54 but it never came to be.

Still love the concept and how it looks in the sky.

I rode in the BOX of one of those for a FTX back in my day with th Alabama National Guard. it was a cold, cold day in December and I found out quickly that BOX had no heat. We were cold when we refuled in BHam and finally landed in Ft. Rucker.
