RNLAF CH47D Chinook starting up in front of the crowd, Heldair 2017 MVK De Kooy (EHKD) 

What a fantastic piece of camera work, nice smooth zooms and pans, well framed, no stupid music... great job! Really great job.... wonderful helicopter!

When I rode in one, there was hydraulic fluid slowly dripping from the rear ceiling. I pointed it out to flight engineer/load master riding in the back with us. He said, "good, let me know if it stops"... Top 5 best response ever!

Fantastic catch and great scenes! Thumbs up Arjan ;)

I once had the privilege to step onboard a specimen from the Dutch Koninklijke Luchtmacht, as it was safely parked in a hangar of the (then) Helikopterservice (Now CHC Helikopterservice) main base at Sola Airport, Stavanger, Norway. That bird had been transported by road - on a trailer - for a complete maintenance overhaul at Sola. I distinctly remember the huge, six 'stacked' rotor-blades secured in the aircraft's loading bay. What a _truly_ awesome machine! . . . . . Exquisite footage!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was nice, I'm always in awe just how great this machine is, and, just how those blades don't touch each other...Good video too!

Excellent camera work! It's almost as good as being there! Thanks very much for the upload. :-)

Excellent video, great quality, great sound, love it. A wonderful machine indeed.

Cool video. Technical genius engineering to design and build that beast. Hats off to all the professionals who fly and maintain them all these years

Wow! I didn't realise the props rotated quite so close to each other!⚠️😯

One of the best camera works among this type of yt videos. Great job. 👍

If these were used in RVN I was never up close to one and never realized how big they had to be. I was always watching them bring stuff in or take it out. THanks MUCH! Great video!

Thank you so much OP for not adding music or pointless subtitles in the video.

I flew in these as a British army medic. They are an impressive aircraft.

What a beautiful machine ❤️ and video...well done😃

They guy at the end standing in the back of the heli... Made my day by seeing the coolest thing in a while!

Rotor craft are the best craft man ever invented. The versatility is phenomenal.

Awesome flying machine - always an adrenaline rush when going from ground idle to flight, especially in the older A & B models that lacked progressive engine control.

32TFS, wolfhounds, still in my mind and heart, good old days on Soesterberg airbase

One of the best designs of a helicopter 🚁 ever. So many functional roles it can do its unbelievable.

Feeling glad! got 2 see such an event.Have noticed the other colourful planes too on nearby runways,super event!👍

It's incredible to think that the blades have to be very precisely designed to not hit each other while still having enough flex. Also incredible to think that they actually change their tilt as it rotates rotation in order to control it. So however fast it's spinning it's changing the tilt that many times per second as it may be tilted more on one side than the other to put more thrust on that side. Incredible engineering goes into copters (even single rotor ones).

Great video. Steep angle when it really starts moving forward .

That is amazing.. To think how long ago it was created and the payload that that thing can carry.. One of my favourite helicopters ever..

Absolutely loved this thanks. God bless our troops

Simply amazing! Liked

YOU CAN HEAR THE CHINOOK COMING FOR MILES AWAY I LOVE THE SOUND

Those engineer who made this aircraft is really super genius...they really made it.Very precious calculation of balance for 2 blades needs to synchronise together in full of speeds..they found this invention for last almost 60 years and this machine still working in good condition..i always remember even my wall fan if the blades have a few scratch it's can't use anymore because of lost of balance...

It wouldn't take much of a fault in the rotors to make those two rotors collide. A master piece of engineering.

Nice.

Excelente 🇩🇴🌎

Great video ! There is an old guy at the bottom of the screen standing to attention , either he is remembering his days or its his imagination but he gives salute to the pilots on take off

Beautiful sound!

worked on them for a few years never get tired of seeing them preform.

Rotors start up at 2:40, lift off at 7:40.

Great video! Sincerely a fmr. 67-U and Night Stalker.

Superb helicopter, and video ! 👍🏻

Love the sound of the blades beating the air into submission

HAHAHA awesome, that guy sitting on the ramp waving from the back of the helicopter. amazing

Great video my dear friend beautiful captured...I like this helicopter..

Thanks for share!!!

Looks like the rear blades are very close to the front blades.

A turbine powered heli that was first flown in the 1950s and probably will not be retired until the design is well over 100 years old...

The Chinook is one of the best helicopters ever designed, and has a pretty good safety record. I like it.

2020 and stiil a fine pice of video! The Chinook is a real eyecatcher of a cargo helicopter!

Zo vet🍀

شنو هاي الشجاعه This is courageous

Great aircraft. I live on the east shore of Lake Erie in Ohio and we get to see National Gaurd training from time to time flying low over our house. Makes you proud to be an American.

There are four variable forces in constant opposition to one another which must either be balanced or over come to allow an aircraft to not only leave the ground but move around its three axis. The four variable forces are thrust verses drag, and lift verses gravity. These four forces act on the three axis which are common to all aircraft. The three axis are, roll, pitch and yaw and act precisely on the center of gravity of the structure of the aircraft. The vertical axis which is acted on by the elevator, is used to direct the aircraft either up or down from its direction of flight. The center axis around which the aircraft can be made to roll by the use of its ailerons while maintaining its direction of flight as indicated by its gyro compass. Various inputs by any of the control surfaces allow the pilot to maneuver the aircraft in a manner called a coordinated maneuver and is indicated by the instrument called a turn and bank indicator which indicates the motions of turning and effected by the rudder and the banking motion controlled by the elevators. When thrust equals drag and lift equals gravity a fixed wing aircraft is considered to be 'flying'.

These bloody things flew over my house every day when I was growing up. I was convinced one would crash onto us. Seeing it now, I don't think it was an unfounded concern

Pure engineering 👍

Magnífico magnífico gracias yo tuve por trasmitir el despegue

Beautiful!

Man if i was the guy on top of that cleaning debris and doing pre trip insp. I'd have to have the key in my pocket !

I've always wondered how citizen's feel during events like these, your country's military is showing off their strength and pride but their front line equipment is mostly American design and built!

Those guys are sometimes conducting low-level flight training where i live, a week ago we had one doing night flying around 10 ' o clock 150 feet above my house. Awesome😉

Wonderful Camera Work.Great Editing.

the chinook is a beast.

Beautiful.

Flew many times in this helicopters while in Vietnam 1967. Remember them very well.

Stood next to idling Seaking (RAF search n rescue) picking up heart patient at local ambulance station in Cardiff ...fast and loud when idling but when crank up to take off speed man you think its going to shake apart the rotors spin that loud and fast truly amazing machines.

I really nvr understood how the blades don't hit each other?

I think the senior citizen in the foreground was a Chopper Crew Chief! Nice video!

That sure is an awsome aircraft. I Love the 47s.👍👍😎

How many power plants does the Chinook have? Are the two on either side of the rear rotor for thrust only? It does not appear that they are mechanically connected to the longitudinal power shaft unless they are somehow side geared as opposed to axial shaft geared or connected.

Blades FINALLY start turning at 2:45.....

Humans.....opposable thumbs. Chinook.....opposable twin five blade rotors. Scary.

Great camerawork!

Such an amazingly unique badass looking helicopter that's capable of a lot of different badass stuff..also its such a powerful beast of a helicopter...

Amazes me that it takes 20Min to preflight & warm up .

Inventor: "Hmmm I wonder if there is a way to make a bus fly..."

Man I love these I would love to get a ride in one someday its a bucket list thing

I see these go over at pretty low- level... as I live close to Ft. Leavenworth.... When the are approaching... the sound is GUTTURAL! And those GIANT rotor blades.... I can't imagine the amount of g-stress is on all of the moving parts in rhat rotor head. It's mind boggling how nimble,and how FAST this GIANT is!!!

2:45 "Starting up"

Coolest chopper ever!

Saw one up close at an air show takeoff. POWER!

Aircraft is one the greatest technologies I admire so much.

Phenomenal climb rate. Dude hanging out the back has balls, but looked like fun.

A great bird. I flew gunned on B and F models in Vietnam. lost 3 ships and put me in a wheelchair but hey I'm alive thanks to a good bird. pressure up ready on the P... 1&2 to flight

It facinates me how long we have come In terms of aviation and engineering

Awesome video.is my favorite Helicopter. One Questjob i have. Why they let the Motor run so Long until the Helicopter Starts?

Jeez! The guy casually dangling his feet out the back 🤭🙀

When I rode in them you could see the driveshaft spinning in the ceiling.

Brilliant 😜👍. Cheers

I love this one madly

If one those blade motors.. Even looses 1/1000 of sec.. Then gone.. Marvel engineering

5:16 Old guy at bottom left of the screen is having flashbacks to Vietnam and thinks he's part of the action.

Cool such an iconic heliciptor grear video 👍

What great piece of technology. You all can see those blades are overlapping, but how did they make it works just fine. America always miles ahead 😘

The flying train 😁

I wouldn't want to be so close to the helicopter without ear protectors.

truly amazing machine , fast smooth reliable

Fantastisch dieser RNLAF CH47D Chinook. Beeindruckend ist die Leichtigkeit mit der er Abhebt. Die Technik würde mich interessieren. Wie wird sichergestellt, dass die Rotorblätter immer so laufen um nicht miteinander in Berührung zu kommen. Würde auch gerne mal als Gast mit einem zweisitzigen Düsenjäger von einem Flugzeugträger katapultiert werden.

Why the propeller blades never hit each others?

It's like flying a semi truck around.

i realy love the Chinook its a awsome machine

I live very nearby in de Schooten, Den Helder, nice job.

Counterclockwise and clockwise ...

The recip engined planes taking off drowned out the CH-47 startup!

*The blades slanted downward a bit when they are not rotating. But then level up once rotation goes full gear.*

Hola: para mi es muy interesante como lograron que las elices, no peguen las de un lado con las del otro muy interesante.
