Affectionately known as the ‘Wokka’ thanks to its distinctive sound, the CH-47 Chinook is a well-known tandem-rotor heavy-lift helicopter.

The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) first acquired seven surplus CH-47C Chinooks from the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1993 which were upgraded to CH-47D standard by Boeing. A further six CH-47D’s were also acquired. The RNLAF CH-47D fleet were deployed worldwide in support of allied peacekeeping and combat operations. In 2012, the RNLAF acquired six CH-47F Chinooks to supplement the fleet before deciding to acquire a further 12 to replace the CH-47D in 2016. The CH-47D was retired in December 2021 and the six older CH-47F’s have been upgraded to the same standard as the newer helicopters.

The RNLAF will be sending a pair of their CH-47F Chinooks to appear on static display at this year’s Air Tattoo. The helicopter is being provided by 298 Squadron from Gilze-Rijen Air Base; the unit is known as the “Grizzlies”
