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 ^^

The CH-47 Chinook helicopter is an iconic symbol of strength and versatility in the world of aviation. Known for its distinctive tandem rotor design, the Chinook has been a reliable workhorse for military and humanitarian missions since its introduction in the early 1960s.
The Chinook's dual rotors allow for unparalleled lift and stability, enabling it to carry heavy loads and operate in a variety of challenging environments.

Its robust design ensures it can handle adverse weather conditions and difficult terrains, making it indispensable in critical operations worldwide.

Capable of reaching speeds up to 170 knots (approximately 196 mph) and a range of over 400 nautical miles, the Chinook can swiftly move large quantities of cargo or personnel over long distances. Its ability to carry up to 24,000 pounds of external load further underscores its role as a logistical powerhouse.
Beyond its functional prowess, the Chinook has a storied history and has been a part of numerous key military operations, including the Vietnam War, Operation Enduring Freedom, and humanitarian missions across the globe. Its reliability and adaptability have cemented its status as a cornerstone of military aviation.
