Spanish CH-47F Chinook
Helis.com - Under a program approved in 2018, Boeing is upgrading 17 FAMET (Spanish Army Aviation) CH-47D Chinook helicopters to the CH-47F variant.
The first helicopter was delivered to the Boeing Ridley Park, PA facility in 2020 and returned to FAMET last month with the new serial ET-420 following the D models which ended in the ET-419.
Three more Chinooks are expected to arrive by early 2022. The 17th and final aircraft is planned for 2025.
Spain received 19 CH-47Cs in the early 1970s that were upgraded to the CH-47D variant in the 1990s. They are used by the Helicopter Transport Battalion 5 (BHELTRA V) based in Colmenar Viejo, Madrid.
