WALLISVILLE, Texas — Officials say a Chinook helicopter rescued a smaller military helicopter from a muddy field near Houston after it had mechanical troubles and made an emergency landing.
The Texas Military Department of Public Affairs say the Texas Army National Guard AH-64D Apache was on a training mission late Tuesday when it encountered problems and was forced to land in the rice field near Wallisville, about 30 miles east of Houston.
Nobody was hurt.
On Thursday, a massive Chinook helicopter lifted the disabled chopper from the mud and carried it 16 miles to the Baytown Airport.

Thanks for sharing the news than one US Army Indian rescued another SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. In real life I doubt a Chinook would have anything to do with an Apache; however their namesakes are dedicated to supporting each other. I am glad that we still have CH-47 Chinook rotary wing aircraft in the inventory.
Kudos to the aviators!
