....Pilots and techs just laughed at us and said the effect..."aircraft shakes that much it would be impossible to see"!

Yeah...your right....CH46 ....and yes....they definitely are ' shakers ' .
I remember standing on the ' loading ramp ' of one of these at Hickam Airforce Base at Honolulu ( 1975 RimPac Exercise ) ...it was doing a ' ground run ' and some ' techo's ' were busy going about doing their thing....and this thing was just ' shaking ' like a jar of lollies.

I can still recall thinking.....gee ...this thing could shake itself to pieces....don't think I'd chance going up in one of these.

Had a great time tho'......Flash......
