Here's a pic of a CH-46/BV 107 and a CH-47/B(V) 234 sitting side-by-side to show the differences in just the civilian versions - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... 10171a.jpg
What I'm trying to say as far as the Chinook goes,is that the basic design is the same threw out. What's the difference between a Chevy 1/2 ton and a Chevy 1 ton? Not much except the obvious, and whatever the customer wants for options. I am also saying if any military force US or otherwise wanted 100 of any one type of helo I'll bet the manufacture would do their best to make them happy.
