Boeing Assembling First Block II Chinook
The Block II upgrade will keep the helicopter flying for the U.S. Army into the 2060s.
The U.S. Army will eventually field a fleet of 473 CH-47Fs, and those will be upgraded—flight controls,  cab, electronics, radios, a stronger pylon, stronger aft section, and a stronger, longer nose—to keep the model flying into the 2060s. (Photo: Boeing)
