CH-46 is a sound that you never forget and will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up and sometimes the onion cutting ninjas even show up when you least expect them and you hear a Phrog. I miss those machines that have kept me and a few brothers awake at night.
I worked on these when in the Navy. We always taxied our birds out the way they show here. However, during my fam school, it was in Tustin at the Marine base, they just took off from their parking spaces and landed same. Guess that changed some time later. It would have been '78 when I was TAD in Tustin.
They must have been testing after phase or some repairs. The EAPS is being run , (Engine Air Particle Separator) before startup. And the fire bottle is on tap.
Linwizz oh ok, so how come the sea knight doesn’t make the same sound as the ch-47 chinook when the sea knight is also a tandem rotor? the ch-47 blades make a thumping sound
SuperSmashBros.mp4 the -53’s rotors sit higher off the ground. As for the thumping, it’s because each set of rotors only have 3 blades, so in helicopters the less blades you have, the more you hear thumping (think Original Uh-1 and Bell 206 vs UH-1Y Venom and Bell 407).
@@frost7724 The Sea Knight and Chinook are two different helicopters . The Chinook is larger and more powerful with larger rotor blades which is why it sounds different. Also, there’s no clutch for disconnecting the rotors during startup and shut down. Free-turbine turboshaft engines can be started with the rotor brake on. The reason the rotor spins up so fast is that both engines are already at idle when the rotor brake is released. Usually the rotors are slower to speed up if they are free to turn as the engines are started one at a time.
I remember one time in the field, the pilots telling the lt. It wouldn't start, bad battery, and that we'd need too put ropes on the rotor blades to help it with a pull start, that was a riot, they finally said for us to just load up in the bird
@@Justslothin Boeing quit building the CH-46 in 1971. They were finally retired because the ones that were still flying had 'tired' airframes and new parts were no longer being produced. I was USMC Infantry and the 46 was my favorite, and not just cuz it beat the hell out of walking 😉.
This 1962 technology flys like it was made by Gifted Engineers from another time! When you pull the collective you understand at least for me this a one of a kind masterpiece! It responds (seat of the pants) that no words can express its that good! Always thank your crew chiefs! I personally think the WOKE HAD THEM SCRAPPED AND THE OH 58D Kiowa! Buck Biden and Pelosi!

So true. I’ll never forget that sound
My dad served in HMM-164, semper fi!
I feel the same about the CH-47
Awesome bird. My father had just under 1000 hours in her during Vietnam. 3 times downed but still made it home safely.
There was an old saying: When you board a 46, look up. If you see a hydraulic leak, that's a good sign. It means the helicopter still has some.
fist time us ka mil kaya nahin dekha sabb log malum nahin sakda ꯃꯦ.ꯅ.ꯏ.. ꯃꯩꯇꯩ
I remember the 46 having a better crash record then the 53. Semper Fi
Why up? Look down at the ramp so your ass doesn’t slip.
It's when it stops leaking that's the time to worry
The Corps used these for nearly 50 years!!!! From "Vietnam to Aghanistan and Iraq!!!!!! they were fun to fly in!!!
true
Phrogs are always smiling!
Yep it does look like a smiling frog too lol
@@IndigenousAmericanTrucker The startup is quick as well
Brings back alot of memories. Some good...some bad. S/F
Beautiful footage Oscar! Thank you for posting.
My pops was one of the only Marines to die in a CH-46 incident. Hearing the sound of it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Miss my frogs. Love to be on deck and play leap frog vertrep underway
I served with HC6 HC16 HC11 PHROGS... Sar and vertical replenishment.. BEST FLYING
helicopter reliable tough and fun to fly as well
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a Phrog!
It's a sea knight
pretty cool piece of engineering

Boy I miss that sound!
2700 hrs + flying in a frog. that video brings most of them back
1:46-2:00 Wow, rotorblade startup is fast
Rotor breaks I believe
They must have been testing after phase or some repairs. The EAPS is being run , (Engine Air Particle Separator) before startup. And the fire bottle is on tap.
It was always great too fly in, much better than the 53
AC 13. Sgt B. Edwards bird. Maintenance performed by the World Famous Red Dragons of HMM-268.
Awsome aircraft
DAMN! Those rotors ran up FAST!!!
yeah

To Phrog flyer it's a thing of beauty

Baby Chinook,CH-46 but is very efficient .
1:47 look how the blades start spinning really fast
That's the rotor clutch/brake system. It keeps the blades from hitting the pitching deck when spinning up and down.

That sound never gets old. I flew on then from 88-98. HMM-161,163 & 166

I remember in 83 with HMM 165 White Knights Semper Fi. USS Tarawa
I was a gunner in HMM-165 in Vietnam - White Knights!
Semper Fi bro.
1:45 Sea knight rotorblade startup
UraniummasterX76 L i like how the blades start moving pretty quickly
@@frost7724Theres Rotor breaks
Everyone coming out of that thing must be deaf
Is it a Boeing's original concept?
I've seen one of these flyby
i’ve seen one before also but not a marine corps one, it was a columbia helicopters one
Nice!

What is that guy with the yellow tank doing?

구조 전용 헬리콥터로 발전시켜야할 ch46
Im mad the chopper needed a jump from a jump box first tho lls

But we didn't actually SEE the take-off.

The Phrog was a tough old warbird, much better than the Chinnook.
DAMN STRAIGHT IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!
That’s why it’s being retired and the chinooks are anticipated for another 25 years of service?

Don't get me wrong i love hearing it start up but just watching it sit there forever is boring.
Looks like a tube of toothpaste with propellers.
