What a nice autum day was this! What a pity Hopsten is closed. A little bit then 1 year latter this Chinook chrased in Afghanistan during a mountains mision.
This rather battered looking Chinook was on display at the 1993 Edwards AFB Open House. Her JCH-47D designation marks her as a Temporary Special Test Prototype airframe. She also wore some interesting titling including what looks like 'Trash Can'!
Although the weather conditions were perfect I had to wait for 2 hours before something happened at this airport. But after making this picture I didn’t complain.
