MH-47E SOAR Chinook

A striking early image of a US Army MH-47E Chinook from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). The MH-47 is the SOAR's long range insertion/extraction and resupply helicopter and flies missions in support of US (and sometimes its allies) Special Operations Forces (SOF) such as Special Forces (Green Berets), Navy Seals, US Rangers and the super-secretive Delta Force.
