Boeing Vertol CH-47C Chinooks were operating on both sides during the conflict. Argentine Air Force had two Chinook operating until June 1st. Those were flown back to the continent and survive the war.
The Argentine Army operated another two CH-47C. One of them was destroyed by a BAE Sea Harrier FRS1 on June 21st. The remainder was not fully operational for the rest of the war. It was suffering engine problems, and it was taken by the British after the Argentine surrender.
