Boeing CH-47 Chinook —

CH-47 has been around for a long time, good aircraft but has had main rotor blade problems for years

I thought about buying one (which could the world's best recreational vehicle), but the only price indicator that I saw was three bought by the Canadians from US for $42 million each, slightly higher than my price limit.

I'm an old Chinook Driver and am familiar with rotor-head problems with the original "A" models; but, nothing since. They are a maintenance nightmare, and do require a flight engineer familiar with hydraulic systems.

VERY impressive aircraft. Thank You, Sir, for your service!
