READY FOR DELIVERY
The multiyear procurement contracts for the CH-47F Chinook and UH-60 Black Hawk M are examples of how the Army is lowering production costs, increasing acquisition program stability, and delivering key technological enhancements for aviators. Here, a row of mostly new F model CH-47 Chinooks awaits delivery at Hunter Army Airfield, GA, April 10. The aircraft were delivered to the 1st Battalion, 52nd Aviation Regiment, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade by the Cargo Helicopter Project Management Office within Program Executive Office (PEO) Aviation.
