[reskin]Boeing CH-47 Chinook - Page 5

I think you can apply for the job when you're 16 years and 9 months old. After the selection process, which takes roughly 6-9 months you can start your training, which takes roughly 3-4 years. So theoretically you can already be flying at a squadron aged 20-21. I'm definatly not the youngest. I've finished my training 2 years ago.

To be precise, when I did my training it was 1 year KMA, 6 months EMVO, 1 year IERW at Ft. Rucker, AL, USA and the conversion to the dutch CH-47 which took about 3 months, and inbetween there were all kinds of other training like Crew Resource Management and Survival Courses.

VERY WIP

Robert1983nl does this look something like the C-47F's you seen? I used the gray now used on the cougar, added low-viz markings:

Only changed colors the details will be changed in a later stage.

do the dutch CH-47F also get the weatherradar of the CH-47D? because if so, we should think about adding a sharper nose as childmodel, since its quite different from the usual chinook

Looks very good NemeanHavoc, I'm impressed! Expect photos of the gray Chinook to be published in about 3 months

Maxfragg, the F-model also gets the weather radar, as well as the bigger airfilters and a FLIR pod mounted underneath the nose.
