Boslandew,
Before you assume too much about the servicability of this particular Chinook I would encourage you to read John Blakeley's posts and his report which can be found on the Campaign website on
http://chinook-justice.org/.
I would be fascinated to hear your reaction if you had discovered that your civilian Chinook was in this condition. E.g. would you consider an aeroplane to be serviceable which required the DECU connector to be checked every 15 minutes of flight? Would you have used a machine which had suffered detached pallet springs in a previous flight and which was still under investigation?
