Message: [QUOTE="Ravers, post: 10530322, member: 35600"] When I was an Air Cadet we did a summer camp at Odiham. We were offered daily flights in Chinooks. I did one while they practiced rigging up underslung loads. I had visions of doing low level runs around the country side with the ramp open, but it was basically 3-4 hours of flying round the airfield, picking up a load, doing a lap, then dropping the load off and picking up a different one. Soul destroying stuff. Also probably the noisiest experience of my life. Those things are unbelievably loud. Always makes me laugh when you see people in films having conversations in the back of a helicopter. It was physically painful to remove your ear defenders in that thing. By the end of the week there were no more volunteers to go on Chinook flights. [/QUOTE]
