What about them? They're easy to maintain.

We use 'Schnooks' for underway vertical replenishment. They can lift a lot and are very fast. We were lucky to clear a load off our little flight deck before they were back with our next load. In the mean time they had made two other drops.

You sure they were Chinooks? Navy never had them, because back in the day they had no rotor brake. You are thinking of the finest helicopter ever made, the CH-46 series.
