Not a chinook... frog

Gentlemen and ladies, that is not a CH-47... that is a CH-46 Sea Knight. THe only reason I offer the correction is that I THINK this particular airframe was flown by a Massachusetts resident, a female marine aviator. The entire crew WAS killed in the crash... and my depest respect goes out to the familes of all the departed.

Look closely as the aircraft comes at us and you can see the lack of sponsons on the front, the sponsons on the back where the wheels are and the most telling clue ... the single front landing gear strut.

Semper fi.......
