On 22 December 2021, the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) said goodbye to the CH-47D Chinook after near 25 years of operations with the type. The Delta workhorse is now replaced by the CH-47F MYII CAAS of which the KLu will get twenty on strength. D-667 was the final CH-47D, and is shown here during its final flight over GLV-5, (Gebied Laagvliegen, military low flying area), just before it made a tour over the Netherlands and its final landingspot Logistiek Centrum Woensdrecht (LCW, Logistical Center at Woensdrecht air base).
