I got to ride in one in Iraq from Liberty base to Haditha dam.
I prefer CH46's as long as it has hydraulic fluid leaking.
the Marines when I was in called it the "flying sh!tter" which was better than the CH53 which was called the crowd killer (when it falls out of the sky it kills a crowd)
OMG! I’d be afraid to go up in one. They look so heavy, I can well imagine the reason for their nickname!.
