Once Canadian Air Force CH-147 with serial 147008 (c/n B732/G008). The Chinook was sold to the Netherlands and converted by Boeing to CH-47D from 1995, it received a new US serial 93-0666 and conversion number M3666 and company number B732. The helicopter was delivered to the KLu on 30 January 1996. The CH-47D was named 'The Beast' referring to the number 6, the number of the devil/beast. This Chinook deployed with the Dutch 1(NL) Air Task Force to Kandahar in 2006. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
