CH-47's are amazing A/C. But they can have a mid-air with themselves.

Yes sir, right behind the line of barracks. The bay was in front of the barracks and the airstrip and lagoon were behind. I swam across that lagoon during jungle training with a rucksack, LBE and M249 inside a poncho raft. Lol

Why do you think we would dive there ??? Get the things that didn't float so well and sell them back
We use to do the river crossings on the Chagres River long before it was sold.

I am guessing you've explored the shore batteries, ran the green monster, and been spear fishing in the bay? Lol

You probably know what black palm is and how dangerous the little blue frogs can be.

Looks like the helicopter they used on Riptide (tv show)

Sikorsky H-34


I think that my mill has hired a heavy lift helo to get stuff on buildings where cranes wouldn't fit, I think this is the one.
