Comments: Thanks for starting this web site. I follow it and check it every few weeks. I'm really glad someone is putting down the history of the aircraft I mean some of them are over fifty years old. Hard to think about how many sole's have been on them.

Comments: Great site! I was reviewing the tail number and wondered what became of my old ship, 6718504. She was mine through the summer and fall of 1970 along with 6718507 (507 was lost on the last day of Fire Base Ripcord (I was not on her that day) 504 was upgraded to a D model, I was wondering what the new/current tail number was and where she is now stationed. I was her FE from, I believe it was about 960 hours to when she went into the 1200 our PE in November of 70(when I left country.) A great airship.

It was an honor to have served with many of the finest CH-47 aircrews. I will always remember the times and memories that I spent as a CE/FE with fondness and I will never forget that: the engine is cleared to ground, we have two burnings and six turnings, and the ramp is checked in the green!!
