Do the Germans have CH-47s in their inventory? It been a few years, but I recall they used 2 types of cargo/utility airframes: CH-53 & UH-1. Personally I never observed or ever heard of them using CH-47s. Certainly this may have changed or are you jumping German chutes and using German JM's out of US. aircraft?

Anyway, I always enjoyed rotary wing jumps, except combat equipment out of a UH-1-----that damm skid can sure hurt if you hit your backside on the exit.
