Former U.S. Army CH-47D 89-00169, now operated by Coulson Aviation as CU-47 N40CU, on the ramp at Los Alamitos Army Airfield during a press conference at Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos, California, September 30, 2020. U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Crystal Housman

Extortion Company sign that hung at FOB Shank (Forward Operating Base Shank), and which was returned to the U.S. years later by a very observant Army Aviation crew during the base's dismantling. There are signatures of most of Extortion Company. For those new to this story, Extortion Company was the unit to which Extortion 17 belonged. I photographed this in 2015.

Marines load into the back of a CH-47D Chinook at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, in eastern California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. There is no helicopter like the Chinook! Super powerful, can carry all sorts of cargo, and tons of troops – and it’s the fastest helicopter in the Department of Defense, the best high altitude helicopter in the world, and can land and launch just about anywhere! Read all about the Chinook and the full, never-before-told story of Extortion 17 in THE FINAL MISSION OF EXTORTION 17 – order in link in this account’s profile! #Extortion17 #Extortion17Book #Military #NewBook #EdDarack #MilitaryBook #War #WarBook #Helicopter #CH47 #Chinook #ChinookHelicopter #CH47Chinook #CH47D (at Mountain Warfare Training Center)

Onboard the Chinook helo used for the NDP State Flag flypast. When onboard the Aircrew Specialist is the boss. They are steely professionals who work with the pilots as a tightly-knit team to ensure mission success. #NDP2017 #TheRSAF #CH47D #Chinook #Helo #CH20 #127SQN #Stallions #OneSAF #Singapore #AviationGeek #MilitaryGeek #MilitaryAviation #Planespotters #SaturdayRide #singaporearmedforces #YouCallWeHaul (at Pulau Sudong)
