Trying to open this page

[talisman]

As most of you know I'm computer retarded. It asks for a password before I even get the page open or can create an account. How do I get around this shit? Looking for some info about my old mans service in Vietnam, and this site pops up with a google search of his name. (He was a crew chief on Chinooks during that era). Any help is appreciated.

Looks like google cached some of the pages. Try google search: "site:http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/ fathers name"

Mouse over the search result that may be a hit, click on the double arrows to the right, a preview pane should show up, click on cached next to the full link to see the cached data.

I can't access it either, you can do a search with your dad's name on google, try the search term:

Firstname Lastname site:www.http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/

on the results, click the little >> arrows and select "cached" should let you see what you want to see... if you still have problems send me a PM and I can do it for you.

Thanks guys, I'll give that a shot once I'm back on my laptop.

Thanks guys! This is probably only cool to me, but not only was I able to find out the designation number of the Chinook my dad was on from 65-66, but the damn thing is still in use today! Looks like after doing a stint in Afghanistan and having a minor mechanical failure, it was sold to Canada in 2009. Fucking Canadians buying the world... It's currently on its third designation number, after a couple of refits. Crazy as hell.

That's very interesting. I've always likeed Chinook's, every time I see one I have to stop and stare. They're so unique and fill an important role, as evidenced by your dad's still being in service 47+ years later.

I was shocked it was still around. I wasn't expecting to find much when I started looking. What really cracks me up is I was just at a Social Distortion concert 2 weeks ago!

Love watching them do maneuvers on Fort Hood.....Amazing the things they can do!!

Very cool that you found this! Pretty cool memories!

Wow, Eric. I thought you had photoshopped that Social Distortion thing on there. That is way cool.

Nice! I got to see a pair of Chinooks while up in Leadville. They apparently were CH-47F models, just recently built.

Fucking Canadians buying the world...
