Damn. How does that compare to other vehicles during those same timeframes?
Not good at all. I did a search for Chinook crashes over that same timeframe. There isn’t much there other than some shot down in combat. The Chinook has been in service since the early 1960s.
I only see two crashes during the same 2007 to today timeframe. One was a Peruvian Chinook, the other Canadian. I don’t see any American accidents since 2005 and that was caused by the pilot becoming disoriented in a sandstorm.

What the hell are we still using these things for then? Stubbornness because we (assumedly) paid so much money for them? Was this some pet project of some general high up or some shite?
Seems like a pretty easy/rational call to discontinue using these if they are so crash-prone.
