United States Coast Guard Cutter Pike out on the waters of San Francisco Bay. In the Back Ground a Pave Hawk HH-60 of the USAF in the middle of a recovery demonstration. The Pave Hawk is some way behind Pike and so the winch cable you see is not actually dropping to the cutter's deck. Sony DSC-HX1 !http://ih1.redbubble.net/work.9522539.1.flat,550x550,070,f.jpg!

United States Army Primary Helicopter School (1956-1973) In 1956, Camp Wolters reverted to the United States Army to house the United States Army Primary Helicopter School. In 1963, it was designated a "permanent" military base and renamed Fort Wolters. The facility started with one heliport (Main) and 4 stage fields. At its height it had 3 heliports (Main Heliport, Downing Field, and Dempsey Field) and twenty-five stage fields (Pinto, Sundance, Ramrod, Mustang, Rawhide, Bronco, Wrangler, An Khe, Bac Lieu, Ben Cat, Ben Hoa, Cam Ranh, Can Tho, Chu Lai, Da Nang, Hue, My Tho, Phu Loi, Pleiku, Qui Nhon, Soc Trang, Tay Ninh, Tuy Hoa, Vinh Long, and Vung Tau). The Vietnamese-named stage fields were named after facilities in Vietnam.

To see how the best in Boeing engineering performs, you just have to put it in to the hands of the RAF such as this example at RIAT 2010. The RAF Chinook fleet is second in size only to that of the US Army. In 2011, the RAF celebrated the Chinook's 30 years of service.
