The CH47 Chinook is regarded by many as the world's most iconic helicopter. Dating all the way back to the Vietnam War, the unique tandem rotor design and engines allow this aircraft to fly with unmatched stability and speeds, wherever it is called to go in the world. Today, I'm here with the Illinois Army National Guard, to get my hands dirty with all things 'Chinook.' Oh yah... and if you stick around until the end, you may even get to see me go for a ride myself.
