Army Chief Warrant Officer Tommy L. Perry, Chief Warrant Officer James A. Pressley, and Sgt. Timothy J. Pinelli, (Det. 1) B Co. 2-238th General Support Aviation Battalion, 59th Aviation Troop Command, National Guard, deliver the first “F” model CH-47 Chinook helicopter to the National Guard, Army Aviation Support Facility (location 2), South Carolina Technical Aviation Center, Greenville, South Carolina, Aug. 4, 2016. This is the first of six CH-47F scheduled to be delivered to the National Guard in the next few months; the “F” version of the Chinook will replace the current “D” model as the primary heavy-lift, cargo, helicopter in the Army National Guard, both for combat-support and emergency-response operations. Specifically, the CH-47F is equipped with a fully integrated, digital, cockpit management system, in addition to advanced cargo-handling capabilities, thus enhancing the already remarkable operational performances of its predecessor, the CH-47D.
