Midland, Mich., native Chief Warrant Officer 2 Christopher Henson (left) and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Ken Gunter (right), both CH-47F Chinook pilots for Company B, 2nd Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, run through pre-flight checks before lifting off to conduct an aerial gunnery at Fort Hood, Texas, July 16. One of the main advancements in the new F-model Chinook is the cockpit. It now has multi-functional displays that, among other functions, enable the pilots to plot and track their routes. These displays replaced the old analogue gauges in the predecessor. Photo Credit: Sgt. Nathan J.J. Hoskins
