From left, Army Sgt. Nathan Hillis and Army Sgt. Joshua Maker, Bravo Company, both CH-47 Chinook flight engineers with 1-169th Aviation, Alabama Army National Guard, look out the rear ramp of their unit’s CH-47 Chinook on Oct. 12, 2023, somewhere above Northern Alabama. The members of the Army National Guard’s 1-169 AVN sometimes offer Chinook flights to the Airmen of the 117 ARW as a way for their Soldiers to practice having passengers onboard and for Airmen in non-aviation roles a chance to fly; enabling both units to take full advantage of the joint environment that they work in.
