Summary

[edit]
Description A Boeing-Vertol CH-47 Chinook arrives on board the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Hancock (CVA-19) during "Operation Frequent Wind", the evacuation of South Vietnam, in April 1975. The CH-47 was most probably from the Vietnam Air Force, although it wears the tail code "YH" of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 (HMH-463), which was based on the Hancock for "Operation Frequent Wind". The Marines did not operate the Chinook.
