TFA blurb review
In Australia, Boeing CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift helicopters have been operated by the military for most of the period since 1974. Thirty of the type have entered Australian service, comprising twelve CH-47C variants, eight CH-47Ds and ten CH-47Fs. The helicopters have been operated by both the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and Australian Army. Twelve CH-47C Chinooks were ordered in 1970 and entered service with the RAAF in 1974. The eleven surviving Chinooks were retired in 1989 as a cost-saving measure, but it was found that the Australian Defence Force's other helicopters could not replace their capabilities. As a result, four were upgraded to CH-47D standard, and returned to service in 1995 with the Australian Army. The Army acquired two more CH-47Ds in 2000 and another pair in 2012. The CH-47Ds were replaced with ten new CH-47F Chinooks during 2015 and 2015. The Chinooks have mainly been used to support the Australian Army, though they have performed a wide range of other tasks. Chinooks formed part of the Australian contribution to the Iraq War in 2003 and the war in Afghanistan (2006–2007, 2008–2013).

Nick, are you interested in doing this blurb from 2018? Since the first link has to reflect the article title, I fiddled with the first sentence, but nothing else. 925–1025 characters please. (It hasn't been scheduled yet, we're just finishing up blurbs for everything that was promoted in 2018.) - Dank (push to talk) 03:47, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'd be happy for this to run. I've just trimmed the blurb. Nick-D (talk) 10:29, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
