This is a/c is based with the 3rd Bn, 160th SOAR (Abn) from Hunter Army Airfield GA. The give away is the weather radar antenna in the nose cover (radome) and the smaller fuel tank (1000 vs: 200 gallon on the MH-47E). Having a similar mission to the MH-47E, the MH-47D has a Rockwell Collins avionics package and a far more evolved ASE suite than the standard Army CH-47D. Has aerial refueling capability along with Long Range Inetrnal fuel tank.
