The Australian Army has taken delivery of two Boeing CH-47F Chinook medium-lift helicopters.

The helicopters will join Army Aviation Command’s fleet of 12 Chinooks, which are operated by C Squadron, 5th Aviation Regiment.

Last year, Defence announced the acquisition of four CH-47F Chinooks to join what was then a fleet of 10 aircraft at 5th Aviation Regiment.

Two of the additional Chinooks were delivered in July last year.

The two additional Chinooks will be reassembled in Townsville and evaluated before being formally handed over to 5th Aviation Regiment for operational use.
