Okay I used to think chinooks were exclusively military helicopters, since that's the only context I'd ever seen them in, but it turns out that there's a civilian version, the Boeing-Vertol 234??

In 1986, one of these, G-BWFC operated by British International Helicopters (privatized successor of BA Helicopters, hi maggie) crashed into the sea near the Shetland Islands which ended up being the deadliest helicopter accident in British history?????

shit's wild and i wish i could discuss it more but unfortunately i am in yapping mode and i don't have a ton to yap about, would be great to hear about these from someone who knows a little more ^^

Petitions masterlist

This is a list of different petitions I have signed and I hope you take the time to quickly sign ones you support as well. These are humanitarian based petitons such as the genocides, worker rights, imigrant rights, etc. Please also reblog with other petitions!

this post is continusly updated, check notes for most recent version

Write to your representatives now and tell them they must reject Netanyahu’s speech. USA adress and phone number required (I use my zoinist parents')

If Netanyahu’s speech goes forward, it will be the fourth time Netanyahu has addressed Congress - the highest number of formal Congressional addresses that any foreign official has ever given in history. Allowing Netanyahu to speak sends a dangerous message that war crimes are not only acceptable but even rewarded by our government.

Remove Insurrectionist Ginni Thomas from the Board of the Library of Congress NOW!

No president should have "absolute immunity"!

Ban conversation therapy EU only

¡Que Nestlé pague precios justos a Cafeticultores de Chiapas, México! (Make Nestlé pay fair prices to Coffee Growers from Chiapas, Mexico!)

"In June 1982, Columbia Helicopters was hired by Sohio to participate in a test on Alaska's North Slope. The purpose of this test was to evaluate the ability of a helicopter - the Boeing Vertol 107-II - to tow a fully-loaded hover barge over water, snow and ice. The test began in Prudhoe Bay on June 17. The Vertol's 600-foot long line was connected to hover barge ACT-100, jointly owned by Global Marine Development and VECO. Air blowers on the 170-ton barge forced a cushion of air under the barge, which was kept in place by rubberized skirt material. This first test was run around Prudhoe Bay with an empty barge, and was successful. During this and subsequent tests, the aircraft often flew with a nose-down angle approaching 25 degrees. Next, ACT-100 was loaded with 40 tons of cargo for another close-in test run. Once more, the helicopter showed it could move the barge despite the additional weight. The final aspect of the test was to tow the hover barge over a 50-mile course to a drill site named Alaska Island where Sohio had just completed an oil well. During the tow to the island, headwinds over 30 knots were encountered, and snow and ice buildup were also factors. Regardless, the Vertol was able to bring the empty barge to the island successfully. On the return trip to Prudhoe Bay, when this photo was taken, the barge carried 50 tons of cargo, bringing the total weight to 220 tons. As with the previous tests, this task was accomplished successfully. This photograph is one of longtime Columbia Helicopters' photographer Ted Veal's most famous photographs. The use of a powerful telephoto lens makes it appear as though the helicopter is closer to the ice than is actually the case."

Самый уродливый вертолет в мире - Boeing Vertol 235.

Его главная особенность - это кабина. Он такой получился из-за того, что инженеры хотели улучшить обзор пилота и бортстрелка, выдвинув первого вперёд.
