Hes very, very WRONG.
Actually, he isn't. His description of the A-model Chinook in Vietnam is pretty accurate.
The problem is that the Chinook that's in-service now isn't the same Chinook that was in service 40 years ago. Today's Chinook is a classic case of an old battleax where the handle's been replaced four times and the head/blade six times. Although it looks pretty similar, it's NOT the same aircraft in terms of capabilities.

One would assume that an ex-Chinook pilot, BS'ing on the radio, has the same search skills as myself.
