Boeing CH-47 Chinook for FSX

The helicopter has seen more than 1,000 built and has even superseded the brilliant 'Huey' as the go-to aircraft for the US Military.

As far as transport for military operations goes, very few aircraft can even get close to the Chinook, and now - thanks to this mod - you can see why its reputation has held out for such a considerably long time.
