Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pictured is an RAF CH-47 Chinook of 18 Squadron, from RAF Odiham, pausing in between training sorties at Caernarfon Airport, North Wales after a refuel as the sun sets in the distance.

18 Squadron conduct training in the MFTA (Mountain Flying Training Area), which is situated in North Wales. It is important for aircrew to maintain training currencies on the CH47 chinook ready for deployments on operations and a commitment to UK National Standby.

The Chinook is an extremely capable and highly versatile helicopter that can operate from land and sea bases into a range of diverse environments from the Artic to the jungle or desert. The aircraft can be armed and is fitted with a range of self-defence equipment allowing it to operate across the battlespace.

Chinooks are primarily used for troop transport, resupply and casevac. With its triple-hook external load system, internal cargo winch, roller conveyor and huge power, the aircraft can lift a wide variety of complex underslung or internal freight.
