It was designed in 1952 and still flies for the world's great Western militaries. They have gotten digital flight control and engine upgrades but it's basically the same old 50's machine.

For anyone wondering, this is in Canada

I put that on extended speaker and my heart started pounding just from the spool up, man I can imagine the live experience! Chinook rules!

The venerable Chinook, it's gotten my platoon and me out of a few scrapes on more than one occasion along with others and a truly wonderful sound to hear. Thanks for making this video.🙏

I have ridden on both American and British chinooks, British pilots are nuts, but As An American our pilots got big balls.

I can feel every single thumping sound of the rotor blades in the ground

I cannot be the only 47 year old man who stops dead what ever he's doing, raises his head and tilts it at an angle, ...........thought I heard something, even the dog is getting in on the action and he's now tilting his head with me .............whop.........whop,whop.........................................whop, whop,slap,.............me and the dog look at each other and give a knowing nod and then drop what ever we were doing and rush outside.............and wait for those beautiful thuds to turn into thunderous slaps as a CHINOOK flies over our garden..........of course you and the dog look at each other with a knowing grin......................the women in the house just don't get it like us chief says the dogs face, I nod my head and we stand there long after that big beautiful girl as flown out of sight ............listening to it fade.....did I just imagine that last distant slap or was it a ..................no, I look at my dog and we both walk inside to finish our chow.......till next time Big Girl xxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXX.

I think the pilot must’ve spent nine minutes and twenty seconds searching for the handbrake!

That turn they do in the air is incredible (/°o°)/!

Skip to 9.20 for the actual take off!!

You think that's loud? Try being in amongst half a battalion (over 300 personnel) of airmobile infantry being lifted at once with many chinooks and pumas. Awesome does not begin to describe that feeling!

Some great footage of them at toddbrook reservoir dam incident whaleybridge derbyshire from 2019 when they assisted in saving our town below after spillway failure

The Best Sound

_"(loud!)"?_ Well, it IS a HELICOPTER...🤭

A Masterpiece of Heli technology....

Brilliant. Straight up vertical. Good skill.

Occasionally, rarely, I hear one approaching at high altitude from a distance. I know the sound immediately.

See these frequently here in the UK, helps that I live near two RAF bases

I worked on these in the Air Force I now live 1/2 a km from the base I was at where they are!!

I love the sight, sound, and practicality of this platform (/^v^)\!

Vidéo starts at 9:20 Long ass warm-up

Wowsers I love shanocks no way no search warrants

Cut the first 9 minutes of this video?

Just listen to the sound of those rotor blades

Uno de los helicoptero más impresionante hechos por él ser humano

Why did they leave in such a hurry ?

AMAZING

Nice sound

10 minutes of JP fuel 1K a barrel! Gotta love it!

OK ANGELS IN GREEN NOWDAYS🥋🥊🥊🛡🛡🛡

Smooth operator

When you need to gather up all americans in one place just put a chinook on the ground.

so who thought this was London

Artists unique semasiology test MI5

9:20 takeoff

Run through the jungle

Hoaly

Cool video, but you could have cut out about 95% of the video.

….@ 9:15

Blaire Witch Chinook take off….

I hope they are leaving with TRUDEAU....

U can tell this was in the uk… what a proper English take off.. Americans would of got it 20ft of the ground and slammed the nose where they wanted to go

Snooze fest.

Dude says the blast, it's called downwash and you are way too far away, try working with the things every day in the military every day which is why my ears ring constantly..LOL
