Description

This Boeing CH-47A Chinook represents a US Army prototype trials aircraft from 1961. Finished in a distinctive white and orange high-visibility scheme, it captures the Chinook at the very start of its long service life, before the type became one of the most recognisable heavy-lift helicopters in military aviation.

A standout addition to any helicopter collection, especially for displays focused on prototype and trials aircraft. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy early developmental schemes and the origins of important military aircraft types.
