|
| Soldiers from B Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Infantry Division, load onto 67-18465 - a CH-47B Chinook helicopter from the 178th Assault Support Helicopter Company (ASHC). Operating in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN), the helicopter was preparing to transport the troops from LZ Dottie to Hill 43 (east of LZ Dottie) in September 1970. The 178th ASHC unit callsign was the "Boxcars", and the pair of dice on the aft pylon was their distinctive emblem. |
| A total of 108 B model Chinooks were produced. Tail numbers 66-19098 (Build number B-356) through 67-18493 (Build number B-463). |
| Those B models that returned from service in the Republic of Vietnam, as well as others located in various units around the United States, were converted to D model helicopters. There are no surviving U.S. Army B models. |
