This Chinook could be one of the helicopters that remained blocked in the Agusta plant after the sanctions and embargo declared against Iran, following the events of the 1980-1981 in Teheran. Before the 1979 revolution Iran had ordered 50 Chinooks to the Italian industry. The new government confirmed only 34 helicopters but approximately 9 remained parked at the plant after completion.
