Deliverded to the US Army as CH-47A 64-13126 on 21 Apr'65. Converted to CH-47D with serial 84-24165 and redelivered on 13 Aug'85). The heavy lift helicopter was Class A damaged in Afghanistan on 14 Feb'02 in unknown circumstances. It was flown to Frankfurt (Germany) in mid-March 2002, and left for probably Coleman Brracks (Germany) for damage assessment. Apparently it was repairable, so it returned to Frankfurt in Apr'02 and flown as air freight to the USA. It was converted to CH-47F and received serial 08-08053 (c/n M8053). Boeing redelivered the Foxtrot on 30 July 2009. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
