JCook-105.JPGWhy we called them "Shit-Hooks"120 viewsA CH-47 was called a "Chinook". They were powerful utility helicopters. A cloud of dust and a heigh-ho Silver...away....away...away with everything that wasn't tied down. Don't mess with a Chinook; you can't win. The downdraft of the blades has to be seen to appreciate the power. It was not uncommon to run away when you saw a Chinook coming in.
