Knox Army Heliport
Home to the CH-47F Chinook
The CH-47 Chinook has been in U.S Army service since 1962 and will remain in the Army fleet at least through the 2030s. The tandem rotor configuration also provides exceptional handling qualities that enable the CH-47 to operate in climatic, altitude and crosswind conditions that typically keep other helicopters from flying.
The CH-47 Chinook provides continued support, coverage and sustainment for maneuver, fire support, air defense, mobility, and survivability mission areas. The primary mission is transportation of ground forces, supplies, and battle critical cargo in support of all future contingencies.
