For the folks that want to see the photos but not take the time to read the text there is an 18 minute version of this video: "HeadwindH Power Point 2006 159th ASHB Chinooks in Vietnam 1968 69"

I was a 20 year old U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook Helicopter pilot in Vietnam in late 1968 and all of 1969, based in Phu Bai, I Corp Vietnam. I flew for the 'Pachyderms' of A Co. 159th ASHB in the 101st Airborne Division. This video was captured from a Power Point slide show I made in 2006 for the 101st Division reunion in Minneapolis, MN. Included are many pictures taken by me and taken by others in the three Chinook Companies that I downloaded on-line. I tried to give photo credits to all of the pix. There are some pretty neat photos that give a feel of life in a Chinook company back then.
MILTECH as recently released a wonderful version of the CH-47D for the MSFS 2020 flight simulator. MSFS 2020 user 'Flak' has created a very nice Livery paintjob depicting the markings of the 'Pachyderm' Chinooks that I flew in RVN. The new CH-47 sim model has created a renewed interest in the Chinook. My old Power Point show should be interesting to some folks.

You need to play your own 60s rock music while watching as there is no sound recorded. Sorry. :)

Hope you enjoy the show.
