Coleman Barracks, Mannheim, Germany, August 25, 1981: An Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter of the 295th Aviation Co at Coleman Barracks in Mannheim, Germany, lifts another Chinook belonging to the 205th Aviation Co at Finthen Army Air Field. The copters were on their way from Mannheim to Ramstein Air Base, where the stripped-down craft from Finthen was to be loaded aboard a C-5 Galaxy for a flight to the United States to be rebuilt. Before the flight, the 205th's craft was reduced in weight from its normal 21,000 pounds to 11,000 by removing its fore and aft transmissions, rotors and engines.
