More whirlybirds! Matthew’s back with another walk-around, this time of the Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Vietnam veterans and Museum of Flight volunteers Jerry Sousa and Dave Waggoner show Matthew around our bird, one of the first Chinooks to roll off the assembly line back in 1962. Curator on the Loose! is possible thanks to The Museum of Flight’s donors.
