The last of an initial order for Chinooks delivered March 3, 1978. Serial 74-22066 on the production line for paper work (but never worn), 147009 was returned to The US in 1992 as the type was retired.The helicopter was converted to a CH-47D in 1996 and delivered to the Royal Netherlands Air Force on March 2, 1996. Canada would begin re-equipping with Chinooks again in 2008 for commitments in Afghanistan, the first of which were 1960s aircraft that had been re-manufactured to CH-47D standard.
