Not sure what your point is
Vertolnut but N192CH is a
KV-107, the model made by Kawasaki in Japan
after 1965 and therefore very much an afterthought rather than a precedent.
The first production model 107s were military ones built to Army contract in 1958.
CH-46s (V-107Ms) went into Marine service in 1964. By the time N192CH was built there were literally hundreds of CH-46s wizzing about.
This is a military forum so its more familiar military designator was given as well. They are all the same basic aircraft and the FAA type rating for them lists them as BV-107s. Most of the world calls them Phrogs. Call them what you like but they certainly are not Chinooks.
