What is That?
(U.S. Army photo by Staff Sergeant James Avery)
When we first saw the thumbnail version of this photo on the Defense Department website, our was reaction was: “What is that thing?”
What do you think it looks like? Please post a comment below.
According to the DoD (Department of Defense), it’s a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, a rotor craft we’ve seen many times here at 4GWAR — but never from this angle.
The photo was taken February 21, 2018 after the chopper dropped off the soldiers shown taking up defensive positions during an air assault training mission at Fort Drum in far northern New York. The fort is home to the 10th Mountain Division.

A great unit those Mountain men!! I was going to say helicopter, but from this angle, I would have surely hesitated before saying exactly what kind!!
