I found some pics of 18Sqn Chinooks during and just after the Gulf War, I'll try and get them scanned next week
Hellhound, you should have run over and tried to blag a ride

i would have, but it was for a medical airlift. i live really close to a military base and they'll take whateer they can get to get the people out.

Maybe it got cloudy and it had to land until the weather cleared up a bit

A Chinook for a medievac?  What needed medivacing, a yeti?

I too have recently seen chinooks flying about. I took one pic but I have not developed it yet. BTW I like your 'sig' Jaffa, It is terribly true but in far larger numbers than 1,000.

last summer i was spending a few weeks in phoenix arizona, and i was out at my grandparents pool and 3 chinook's flew overhead. funny thing was, all three were painted in the winter camo in arizona. i dont know what base they would fly into out there. luke AFB maybe, but thats a good 40 miles north.

That sounds like an interesting night! :-)

Every once in awhile we will have a flight of 25-40 go flying over really low and in tight formation...

Really makes the earth rumble pretty good...

one time the low frequency vibrations that they caused knocked a picture off of the wall...:-)
