On August 30, a Texas Army National Guard AH-64D Apache was forced to perform an emergency landing on a rice field near Wallisville, 30 miles to the east of Houston.
Although the landing was successful and nobody was hurt, the attack chopper had to be moved away from the field and, two days later, the disabled Army helicopter was rescued by a Chinook CH-47 that lifted the AH-64 a carried it for 16 miles to the Baytown Airport.
With a 26,000-lb sling load capacity on the central hook, the Chinook is capable to lift and carry other aircraft: for instance, in August 2013, a CH-47F Chinook helicopter transported a US Air Force A-7K Corsair II to the Goldstar Museum at Camp Dodge, in Johnston, Iowa.
