Also known as foehn winds (in German. The First Nations have observed that the US Army often names helicopters for tribes that they have vanquished. The T-55 turbine from the CH-47 is also used in Unlimited Hydroplanes, and the supply is limited, more than the T-53, which could be used in a lighter composite hydroplane to provide the same spectacle. I was told by a mechanic that they did carry a file for cleaning up the leading edges of the F-104. He was part of a small group sent to Taiwan to help them set up their maintenance for the new F-104s they'd purchased, too.

Very informative as always, however, I believe that the CH-47 is named after the native tribe that is located near the state of Washington. There is a trend for helicopters to be named after native American tribes. Apache, Cayuse, Comanche, Chinook, Etc. A chinook is also a salmon, as also stated a wind with particular attributes. Thank you.
