Thank you for your download. This Chinook package is only for the FSX, but in case you want to fly it on your

Model belongs to Mark Adams & Tom Woods, the reworked Flight Dynamics and to Marwan Latif redmahtheone@hotmail.com,
the panel and the textures to Delizisis Thanasis and Delizisis Panagiots. The panel was created by photos witch we
had found on the internet and mainly by default gauges of the FSX. The textures represent the olive green witch have
now the Hellenic Chinooks and the dessert witch appeared until the upgraded of the CH-47C to CH-47DG.

CH-47 in Hellenic Service
-------------------------
Greece has 15 CH-47D. The 9 of them are upgraded CH-47C to CH-47DG in 1995. The other 6 are CH-47SD
(Super D).

In 1980 Greece ordered 10 CH-47C Chinook. The first arrived in Greece in 1983. The first Greek Chinooks
formally were belonged to Iran but after the fallen of Shahs, they were given to Greece. In 1984 took place the
first accident of the Greek Chinooks when the ÅÓ-006 had a heavy landing in Samos Island, during the transportation
of a radar. After that the 006 was used as a source. The other 9 in the period of 1992-1994 were upgraded to D.

The upgrade program gave them characteristics such as:
1) They could carry 50 men
2) Bigger fuel tanks (their range was doubled)
3) Time to refuelling from 32min to 10min
4) Flight up to 7Bofor (2Bofor in the past)
5) They could carry 1.500 more Ibl.

After the Imia night, the Greek Government wanted to order 11 Chinooks, 9 SD and 2 SD for the Special Forces.
Later 7 Chinooks were ordered. They have analogue cockpit and not glass cockpit in order to be same with the old DG.
But they have the better engine T55-L714A (4.868hp).
