Anyone familiar with Chinook helicopters? I was watching Ice Airport Alaska and one segment was on an airlift using a Chinook. I got wondering if a Chinook can fly on one engine if the other fails. I know it depends on weight load etc. but just wondering if it is even possible at all if conditions are within certain parameter windows.

It looks like it can!

But more amazing is this:

‘Did you know that CH-47 crew can land the Chinook on water, shut down, climb up on top for a photo, then get back in, start up and take off?’

Thanks. I saw the first one and thought it could but I thought someone here might know for certain and be more reliable. I hadn't seen the second link. Interesting.

A friend of mine flew them in the Army, but he pronounced "Chinook" rudely. The forum safe version would be "Stuff-hook".
