Chook Retirements

[Martin Edwards]

Can we please have some information for our Chook page.
Assuming the recently acquired A15-151 and 152 are to remain in service where are the other three retiring D models heading? (A15-103, 104 and 201)
We have A15-106 at Point Cook and of course A15-202 going to the AWM
I believe 2 others are to go to Oakey and Darwin as instructional Airframes and another to the Museum at Oakey. Serials please.
We are also looking for the construction numbers of the new CH-47Fs and thier US Serials (if allocated)

Martin,
I posted details on this forum back on 6 August 2015 that CH-47D A15-152 is now with the SAS operated museum at Campbell Barracks, Swanbourne, Western Australia.

Cheers

Thanks Richard, I must of missed that one hence my totally incorrect assumption they would remain in service. (I suppose they are still in "service" being utilised in the training role)
I have edited the Chinook page to show this.

Also A15-104 is at the Army Museum of Flying at Oakey.

We have been advised that A15-103 is now sitting on its belly being used as a fire trainer in Kandahar.
