I know why he fly's a Chinook...his nads are too big to fit into the pit of an Apache or a Blackhawk...he probably came back later that night to try it in the dark just for shits and giggles.

Nice pic...thanks.

I second that :D. I didn't think it was even possible to do that.

I never had a problem with the chopper pilots getting flight pay. They deserved every cent of it. It was just their regular paycheck that I thought they should have backed up to the pay table for.

Time to unass the AO before the chopper drivers get here.

That's a huge pair of balls. That roof doesn't look like it would hold up the troops, but less the back end of a 'hook.

The CH-47 Chinook is a tribute to American rotorwing design. To see more:

Of course, you should also check out the MH-47:

At least on that LZ the fucker can't land 400m meters from your VS17 panel, and laugh as you run w/ rucks to get on his bird!

I used to think the same way, but now it's a matter of, "Why in the hell did they put the panel there? I thought there was a pathfinder down there. he should have known better...

I know, winds......

W/ the TF160th they landed any where we asked, when it was 24th I.D. Aviation...it was always a long run.
But it was always better than walking :D
