RAF Chinook Role Demonstration at RAF Cosford Airshow, 2.0.2.6

Boeing Chinook HC6A Role Demonstration. This year saw some different capabilities of the Chinook brought to the fore, not least the dual underslung load of a howitzer artillery gun and a Pinzgauer utility vehicle. After dropping off the impressive load, the Chinook than landed to unload a party of ground troops and a quad bike further highlighting just how powerful this heavy-lift helicopter is. The crew then gave a short demonstration of the handling of the Chinook as well as its ability to provide fire-support from side and rear mounted machine guns.
