Boeing Receives Contract for Four Special Operations Chinooks

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 11, 2018 — #boeing [NYSE: BA] has received a $139.8 million contract to provide four MH-47G Block II Chinook helicopters to the U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command. “The Army uses the MH-47G for some of its most difficult and challenging missions,” said Pat Donnelly, director, H-47 Domestic and Foreign Military Sale Programs.

“By incorporating key Block II features we significantly extend the service life, enhance performance, and maintain Chinook’s position as the world’s preeminent special operations helicopter.”

These helicopters mark the start of a Block II production run expected to extend into the late 2020s. The Army has 69 MH-47G Chinook helicopters. Concurrent with the MH-47G enhancements, #boeing is developing a Block II configuration for the U.S. Army CH-47F Chinook. For more information on Defense, Space & Security, visit www.boeing.com.
