18 May 2005
TOWNSVILLE'S 5th Aviation Regiment is about
to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Australia's
largest helicopter - the Chinook - entering
Army service.
The Regiment, which operates all six of the
Army's Chinooks as well as Black Hawk and Iroquois
helicopters, will hold a reunion and a dinner
in Townsville on Friday, 20 May, to mark the
10th anniversary, which occurs tomorrow, Thursday,

Since May 1995, Australian Army Chinooks have
been deployed on numerous operations, including
active service in the Middle East, the Sydney
Olympics, drought-relief operations in New Guinea
and flood-relief operations in Australia.
